Poem for Friday, June 12, 2009


You Can Cry in Front of Me

Hazier than condensation
    drip-
            -ping
down a shattered mirror in
millions of directions
you
came to me, said "You can
     cry in front of me"

it clogged my mind up, honestly
my synapses were tangled
my neurons flickered feebly
     why? why
that's when I realized
I need you

a man can make his
tears a tumultuous tide
against a
     cracking dam
each one a glimmer
of a terrible memory and
I need you
