For You
Move the old
to always
like a beard
see this chin
to see again.
You wait
while I
eat my
breakfast and coffee.
In one hundred days
morning
I could ignore you.
A poem would come
it would
be here again
like white hairs
falling to
white emptiness.
For You & You
I became self-sufficient,
no you or you
scaring me
just the waking
up, stirring
in the bed,
waking my dog up
to see the deer.
Then you
were okay with me,
okay.
I hadn’t
upset
one I loved
like a tiger-striped dog.
Because I couldn’t
know, didn’t
know, did know.
I miss you,
call you in the car.
I don’t know the advice.
