i got your box in the mail. the one with all
the stamps. it was bent and torn and taped
up again. so you've sent me your love? with

i don't think i can manage two hearts at once.
so i'll have to give you mine. i hope you don't
mind. it's a little bruised and broken. but i
think it works just as well.

you have this idea that my hands are beautiful
enough to hold yours. well my rose colored glasses
must have broke. but you are still the sad and lovely
boy with the bright and passionate mouth.

hands like sleep waiting silently

i toss words like rocks
across my tongue, skipping
across the lake, and we reach,
hands outstretched, for the sun
but it's a shame it's all empty.

wouldn't try to fix me.
if you loved me, you'd paint
butterflies across the wall
to make me smile. listen,
