I kept
a picture
of you
black dress
no makeup
the sun
setting on
you us

I find
photographs most
beautiful when
they capture
the happiness
right before
things end

the dull pain
that is
a constant
in my chest
is a memory
that separated
from the others
to be close
to my heart

she slid
her naked
body under
the covers
and wrapped
her arm
around my
chest and
her leg
over mine
she whispered
softly something
about heaven
and fell
into dreams
of lives
we could
have shared

simple times
are over
the hardship
is beginning
there is
truth in
the soul
but mining
is hazardous
and changes
the landscape
and I
must decide
if I
can lose
the beauty

I had
a dream
of satan
standing at
my door
he looked
like me
he spoke
like me
and said
his name
was Ben
but his
eyes were
more dark
more dead
and his
words were
more poetic
we smoked
a joint
and gossiped
about god
and before
he left
he said
‘never forget
your father
or else
you will
become him’
