Poetry Grrrl

I had you so close
And you didn't even know
I cherished every turn of your voice
And thrilled when you laughed
And died at each offered word
Which meant you didn't long to leave
And I tried not to seem
Too happy
You seem at home
In my darkness
And I love you
Because I know it isn't easy
And you are so kind
Because you make me feel
Worthy of pinching

   A wish to go down in flames

   I can remember hanging out with my terminally ill cousin
   When he was the same age I am now
   And I can remember thinking about how fresh and alive he seemed
   the energy and excitement that exuded from his every movement in the kitchen as he fried fish and chopped garlic
   and the rolling taps of his drumsticks on those tight and snappy metal rims
   I can remember how he bit the ass of the day and always teetered
   On the edge
   Crashing like a flaming 76’ Cadillac Deville
   over the side of the empire state building
   I remember how alive he was
   A pure specimen of the irate, irrational, loving, hating human being

   And I wonder now why sometimes I feel so dead
   Maybe its because of
   too many
   choices to pick from
   opportunities to seize
   paths to walk
   and so much stimulation
   And no foreseeable end
   Nothing to kill me off at an early age
   no nearing brick wall
   nothing too stop me in my tracks
   then again
   like the Deville
   I guess you can only be stopped
   once you get going.
