Storm Cloud

She is the storm cloud I suspect.
Follows overhead with close misfortune;
unavoidable-- no more hiding indoors.
Her subtlety pushes me underground.
Did I mention the eyes that froze?
the humor that grew old?
the attention that spoiled?
I am off balance.
I turn defensive,
shout back at thunder.

Pawn Shop

We Pawn today
For tomorrow
Unwilling; the wallet
to the pickpocket.
A forced trade
We glance back
Dwell,
Or feel the profit.
The earnings unknown
The wealth ungraspable
In a trade between dreams
We pawned yesterday
For today.

He wants you back he screams into the night air like a fireman going to a window that has no fire

except the passion of his heart.

I am lonely.
