Nesting

Alone now but not as lonely as before
Separate paths running parallel
Streets that never intersect
Moments living in eternal bubbles

I never went away
I've always been here
when you've come back

Nesting in the safe tree
Outside my window
The bird cannot see me
staring at her

These incomplete thoughts
find temporary shelter
living here

Recovery

My mind will not sleep

so I indulge it this evening

as we stay up together

listening to the night

    steady sounds beneathe 

    the tips of my fingers

caked sweat dried 

on my skin from 

    another time

 

    another place
