Circles - For Khalid Jarrar
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
he told me how you get pairs
of stars
who are forever in orbit
how circles make up the
base
of any relation[ship].
he likes how secrets are
like melons
whose insides can be sweet
and pink
and juicy
or dried stringy
white
and the many more circles you collect
the less pressure
each one has.
And when he pulled me closer
he made my circles unravel
creating fragile spirals
half a world away.
I have been talking to a good friend who helps me understand things in a different and more innocent way sometimes. This one's for you :)

Glass
I'm still under the duvet watching ships and seagulls.
The only thing is you're missing and the bed's
grown silent. Isolation was a
choice. Solace in a voice to
cover my solecisms.
Solipsism
can be
lonely
but is
best
washed
down
with a cascade of ice
and soporific substances.
