there is a poem
and it's strange
how the letters flip around and rearrange
it's a beat
that steadies with the rhythm
when you learn it everything falls into place and
comes much easier the sound
of an ambulance, cop cars, firemen
leading all their ladders to the scene
beneath every bad relationship
everyone you've ever been with
and I could see them
right behind my balcony
I could see them leading pathways
through the people in the street
and the fire too high for me to reach you
could I reach through?
explain away the mess I've made
every single broken mistake
every beating heart
every feeling
every headspace
every passing light buried heavy on the entry of the interstate
every monumental moment
fades away
tired eyes
can they ever see further than right ahead?
tired eyes
amalgamation of all the action that I'll never get
tired eyes
I lead you every night to the same sheets same pillow same bed
tired eyes
I'll take the burden
I'll let the hurt in
every night that I don't sleep
all the dates
speckled on the calendars
that I once kept
books I once read
scattered all the pages onto the floor
lined them up
intertwine
moments of relationships
fictional and fabricated
conveniently and constantly evaporating
spiral notebooks burned into my head
pen and ink
reflecting what I shouldn't be again
a tiny glimpse
imperfect memories
blistered fingertips hang direct above the centerpiece
glowing with uncertainty, integrity
physically here
but always fading mentally
does it make sense?
does it push me?
can it ever make me breath the way you breathe?
does it hold true?
like the light blue?
of your eyes when I see them look at me?
every single broken mistake
every beating heart
every feeling
every headspace
every passing light buried heavy on the entry of the interstate
every monumental moment
fades away
tired eyes
can they ever see further than right ahead?
tired eyes
amalgamation of all the action that I'll never get
tired eyes
I lead you every night to the same sheets same pillow same bed
tired eyes
I'll take the burden
I'll let the hurt in
every night that I don't sleep
every night that I don't sleep

even I, too, have come to love the peel of an orange
in some ways
lovers lost to sleepless nights
anger met with rainy days
and to all my friends, I keep a record
meant to hold the things we shared
in years long past
in years long past
every stupid feud
every sorry mood
all the in-betweens
and me being rude
I bear this all for you
I give my all to you
every night I spend
every day we waste
all the ways we laugh
all the space we take
I do this all for you
we do this all for you
given no more purpose than to love
let their arrows rain down from above
let their march keep pace to flightless doves
lest this silence made becomes us all
I owe this all to you
every movement, every motion that I take
I owe this all to you
every motion, every feeling that I fake
all blessed, somehow sacred
folded into blankets, warm but wet
summer like these endless nights spent here
beneath a candle that I set
making dinner, on the porch again
not a beer goes wasted
neither now nor then
summoned out from darkness it moves on--
an aimless army without a cause
given no more purpose than to love
let their arrows rain down from above
let their march keep pace to flightless doves
lest this silence made becomes us all
I owe this all to you
every movement, every motion that I take
I owe this all to you
every motion, every feeling that I fake
