Was there much pain?
When I ripped out your heart?
And placed it beside your empty eyes,
Watching the world erupt in brilliant darkness?

Was there much pain, my love,
When I broke your heart?
And left you crying under the bridge of the
Train where he had first fell in love?

Was there much pain,
I'm sure they said there wasn't
Going to be any, judging from how large
that damn syringe is.

Was there much pain,
When you cut your wrists?
And let the blood flow from the depths
Of your heart, spilling all over the kitchen floor?

Was there much pain,
Because Novocain won't cure headaches
Or heartbreaks caused by a mental
Wound of the heart.

Was there much pain?

Kissing the Tops of Distant Mountains - Temp Old

Kissing the Tops of Distant Mountains Part One Chapter 1 “I think we’re going to have to walk the rest of the way.” The snow, a gentle flurry when we had left the house, had started to pick up in the last hour or so, and approached something resembling a blizzard by the time Zoe asked me to pull off the highway and onto the mountain roads that snaked their way through the dense forests. The roads, cracked under the pressure of previous snowfalls from years past, were empty save for the tire tracks left behind by distant cars, already nearly filled in by the falling snow, erased under the fury of a late-December evening snowstorm. The tracks we had left behind were quickly approaching the same fate. “Yeah, it seems like we’re going to have to,” I said with a sigh. I stared out of the front windshield, the falling snow illuminated by the headlights of my beat-up SUV twinkling like the stars that were hidden behind the clouds above our heads. The road ahead of us, treacherous enough

The house bonsai tree has been placed by my son onto the veranda railing. The coins from Hong Kong sit amongst the polished stones above the tree’s roots, placed for good fortune. The tree, not used to the rushing winds of Wellington at this height, stays so placed – for now. cultivated so carefully our fortunes to the wind

grow up they said

here's what it is to be an adult you pay off your credit cards and a day later, your hot water heater is no longer working and is leaking all over your garage you didn't bother to research options so when you finally realize you can get a cheaper alternative to your fancy coffee drink you've probably 'wasted' at least $75. on coffee. you buy things on other peoples' recommendations and are quickly disenchanted either with the things, the people, or just buying things in general you stop hearing or is it listening and the magic settles into your bones instead of your eyes and sparks up at new moments, the baby's laugh, the way you

(How funny, or maybe perfect it is,)

to think I am meat and spirit while I eat both. Yet, I persist as matter and nothing. Of the static, that door still gaping, a hole in conception, would it be real if I understood it? If I could just grasp what I'm not understanding? Because language, even these words, are nothing. Nothing outside me. Nothing before me. Maybe less after me. And the idea? Nothing. Nothing but meat and even the spirit stammers against infinity, against inevitability, against itself.

sunday

I went to the church to put a little bit of god in me, but god was greedy today. my mortal mind felt it. trees canted down to say hello in their winter-grieved way, on the way home. a hundred little fingers asking for a chance that wasn’t mine to give. they shook with the roar. I guzzled down every liquid in the kitchen to soothe the red of my esophagus, but it only led to milk and rum and wine and half a carton of chicken broth rolling around in my innards, an angry soup. a galaxy of poison. the fever didn't go away. it looked like half- baked art in the toilet bowl. I had to unclog it.

Harvest

Autumn is a controlled wildfire: nature selectively burning its excess, preparing to conserve energy for the cold and create room for the birth of spring.

read this when you're so angry you shake

little drops of oil make rainbows on wet concrete and i don’t know how beautiful you find that, but sometimes you gotta learn that the littlest things are the prettiest, like the shape of your fingernails and the crinkles you get at the corner of your eyes when you laugh and when you grow old and i know i said “grow old” like it’s a temporary thing, but that’s because it is. you can think it’s forever but it’s really a split second because you don’t matter, not when the universe is still growing and speeding through a nothingness we can’t even fathom, not when color doesn’t exis

The Second Love

"Hey, look, I'm trying my best, alright?" he said, in both exasperation and exhaustion. She simply ignored him, turning to the next page of her romantic paperback. It had been five months since their arranged cohabitation. It was her mother's idea, one that she protested against greatly. It just wasn't fair. She knew that she was grieving the breakup, she knew that she hadn't moved on yet. But regardless, she had no say in the matter, and was forced to pack up, and move in with a complete stranger. It didn't help that he knew as well. Her mother had told her all about him, about how sweet he was, about how much he cared. She could see it in

an atheist's prayer

dear god, i planted no tulips in autumn and no tulips came in spring. how silly of me, then to mourn the empty garden, to long for fields of amsterdam, to kneel at night in cold dirt, hands folded. i’ve learned there is a certain ache in lacking a thing never had, that small itch whose relief is two seasons past – so god, if you can hear me, know that i am homesick for amsterdam, whose name, like yours, i know but whose flowers i cannot see.
