We find ways to walk in time
companionably.

ecentipede: fifty-four August 19, 2008
on the sidelines of
a self-destruction with no
way to help. just watch.
Tanglethis - Fifty-two August 18, 2008
Threads spin out from me
in all directions until,
frightened, I pull them back
ecentipede: fifty-three August 18, 2008
with your gentle strength
you heal my aching and soothe,
calm, my troubled heart
–for holly
Tanglethis - Fifty-one August 17, 2008
Boundaries blurry
between effusive and stupid,
chafing and charming.
ecentipede: fifty-two August 16, 2008
we talk of bodies
craving–which part of me needs
milk-sweet darjeeling?
Tanglethis - Fifty August 15, 2008

ragged where we clawed at each
other with hard words.
ecentipede: fifty-one August 15, 2008
shock. wretched screaming.
pain-clouded by pain-killers.
leo is confused.
careful embraces.
leo offers a stuffed duck,
hoping to comfort.
bone grinding on bone -
leo thinks peanut butter
makes this a good day
Tanglethis - Forty-nine August 14, 2008
What filmy layers
of forgetfulness settled
on that thought, so soon?
