Fact and Fantasy

I hate to see you go

but it's better that the hold

you had on me is loose

before the scenes of losing teeth

grip onto my dreams

It is not strange for me

to think of you with other men

In fact, it is a fantasy

that you are wed and happily

married.

Names and Faces / Subject to Madness

(1.)
All these names without faces
I'm not sure they even exist
who are these people?
who are they to me?

If even one is still standing
I would float in surprise
half chuckling outloud
One half of everything
and half of everything else

They are only numbers and figures
souless and smiling
stacked up neatly into separate piles
And need filing

(2.)
Subject to madness
the wandering mind
if it wanders too far
out of bounds

warp tomorrow
with the folds of yesterday
or smooth out now
make it easy for a change
