relations.

2005-12-22 8:59 a.m.

i have hollowed out these spaces, selling conflict theory as a commodity
in times of action

there is little left to say about what's happened, about how
the snow has weighted down long branches,
how they crack and ache
waiting for spring

i can relate

and spend my nights overplaying the roles that i have purchased, bought in
under ideas of perfection,

no life is like mine, long lived in short times
and i draw circles of relationship, what was
against what has happened -

a warning,
i do not want you at my door, leaving your visions
to catch me when i wake and rise into these cold mornings.
