from People and Cities Have Seasons, and Everything Dies, released December 30, 2022
I was a vacation from the truth,
a place to lay your head but never set down roots.
You were a tourist in my heart,
you came as quick as you departed and now you’re gone.
You were borrowed affectations,
a film-study in relationships gone wrong.

I remember that first smile we shared.
A fake and fleeting hope filled up the room and all it’s air.
You were pretty and persistent,
you insisted it was real and I was gone.
Now you’re a stranger in my memory
coming back to tempt me every time I feel alone.
And I’m left with this sudden sinking sadness
and Saturday’s spent on my own.

I was blind and deaf and surely dumb.
I should have seen it in your eyes or heard the beating of that drum,
that humming in your heart
that signaled your departure. But I was wrong -
you were a sunset, not a sunrise.
I’ll probably think about you sometimes, but not for long.
