“you built a fire
hoping it would make me warm,
not realizing i was made of ice.”

“the night we met
it was warm
like it always is
and i was cold
like i always am
and i asked you
if you would ever
want to be rooted
in one place forever
like the mighty mango
and you said to me
(i remember)
that you would cement
yourself in the
pavement if that’s
what it took for the
night to never end.”

“You know, they say that there is a part
of the human chest that it you strike it hard enough,
it makes the person’s heart explode. This sounds like
such a lie that I have to believe it’s the truth. If I were
science, I’d never tell anyone where this place is.
If I were science, I’d have named this place after you.”

so bad that sometimes I can't make it up off the floor.”

“You,
quiet and alone in your kitchen, cigaretteless.
Me, left tapping on your rain-streaked window,
wanting you to know that everything is going
to get better, and really hoping that it does.”

“I'm sorry I could never see myself out
of the twitching fever of my heartache,
that I traded everything we had for
something that never ended up being.
But if I could take anything back, it wouldn't be
the glittering hope I stuck in the amber of your eyes,
or the sweet eager of our conversations.
No, it would be that last stony path to nothing,
when we both gave up without telling the other.
How silence arrived like a returned valentine
on that morning
we finally taught our phones not to ring.”
