   it’s funny
   never would have guessed
   always thought once found
   it would remain eternal
   now a little wiser
   yet still, somehow, perplexed
   that love can come and go

   Her words were icicles:
   only temporary,
   but very beautiful
   while they lasted.

   Somehow thinking that my shift
   is only temporary
   here and gone soon enough
   makes entering data a race
   and cleaning up documents
   (with no deadlines attached)
   a contest
   so much more interesting
   than it could be

   those weather men
   might’ve been right
   when they first
   said it would snow
   but their right-ness
   didn’t last long

   - A Poem for Reading Aloud -

   By the time you have finished the words on this page
   And have thoroughly finished them all, I mean,
   Not just stared for a sec at the text on the screen
   But truly digested them; loved them; arrested them;
   Taken them into your heart and invested them;
   Captured the message I want to convey -
   You’ll have whittled a whole twenty seconds away
   Of your life, and they ain’t comin’ back.

   A friend for a moment
   Just there for a time
   Turning away with coldness
   Before we’d finished our climb
   I think it was a lie
   But i’m deciding not to care
   Because it’s his loss, not mine
   There’re tons of friends out there.

   I sit, hushed with awe at the beauty.
   Tulle gently floating in the pool of vivid light
   Her strongly delicate body suspended for an instant-
   Magic weightlessness.
   Human flight.

   Ephemeral moment passed;
   No picture left to see,
   No document to replay.
   But the beauty lives on,
   If only in my faithful memory.

   The aroma of pie infusing the air,
   clean warm laundry and the soft light at the close of the day,
   fresh peaches, the laughs of children in trees, or the smell after rain,
   The fruit that change brings,
   Is the product of a winter, that could not overshadow the spring.

   I don’t expect everyone to stay.
   For some, their efficacy is lasting
   Yet I may never see them again.
   Heartbreaking, yes.
   But there are blessings
   In temporaries, substitutes, and stand-ins.
