In Small and In Passingthere was blood on the tracks before we left the womb - racing down hallways of double wides with toy cars clasped in hands, clasping hands walking down dirt roads, shuffling feet and puffing - it was harder to breathe then but easier to run - so we ran where ever we were going, across the entire town, back to home, where hot dogs on stove ran out of water, where siblings were crying in the next room, a liquor bottle sitting on the kitchen counter, half empty - when we still saw the glass as half full - until the house filled with smoke, the smell so terrible we'd learn to sweaIn Small and In Passing


Save Nothing for the ReturnI have watched my sullen eyes leak from the florescent screen of my not-a-book book, the novel where I cannot flip pages but surf them, and I'm reminded that deep down, the ocean loathes me.Save Nothing for the Return
We are old friends, Atlantic and I,
though she goes by many names these days: Pacific, Indian, Arctic--these are but one. That one is her. When I was three years from manhood, her sandy tips kissed

That you were never an ally in arms and all those things you said they amounted to just shit in the end
but I blame myself.
