Please Don’t Forget Me

I hope that the next time you pick up someone from the airport
and you wait patiently, on the second level parking
and spot someone with the same green suitcase
You remember me.

I Will Never Reread What I Write

All artists know that
every form of art is reminiscent of a time, a place, and a memory
that is held deeply in our hearts, and it is easier to share it
with the world
than it is to relive the moment it was created

I Don’t Owe You Anything

You don’t get the luxury of walking back into my life,
at 3:30 in the morning,
trying to claim something that was never yours.

We Are Starving, But We Are Artists

we are so in tune with the world and the world sings back to us
it sings to us through our pencils, our paintbrushes, our instruments, our film
it write us notes and it colors our canvases

You Are The Song I Can No Longer Listen To

You were the song we loved, a summer hit that didn’t get
overplayed, but you were on every station, and we loved to turn the
volume up high so we could drown in your music.
