peter pan was ten minutes late today
and unusually silent
as we flew above sleepy houses.
i didn't dare ask for an explanation
but rather,
watched his jaw clamp shut
and his eyebrow furrow.
we can do this crushing silence game for hours;
it's a competition,
it's a routine.
he was a fox of the trade
of running away.
he preached lostness,
i should have known i would lose him.
his smile,
that tilted silver hook,
rises from a placid face.
he says something subtly cruel.
he always does.
it's a routine.

an ocean only grows
a girl may shed tears
for those parted by the sea;
accumulation.
a lady can sob
in veins of wine, sweeten and
settle his sorrow.
a woman will weep
when a home leaks, leaks of a
future ne'er to be.

Rosebush
If I were to tell you,
"Life is not a bed of roses."
Would you still continue
To pull the weeds from beneath the rows?
If I said,
"There are some wounds that cannot heal."
Would you still reach between the brambles
And allow the thorns to pierce your skin?
Were I to mention,
"Even the brightest of flowers
Will eventually succumb to time."
Would you still cut the heads
In preparation for the new spring buds?
You simply smile and say;
"Yes.
For even the most vapid vine deserves to be cultivated.
Only then can it bloom
And truly enjoy its time in the sun."
