Gasworks 05:10
By the waterfront at Gasworks Park, Ours are the only voices. As we stare across the water, We feel fortunate and proud To behold such a beautiful, panoramic view of Seattle. Here This relative silence is such a relief From the cacophony of the street, From the corrosive commotion Of Capitol Hill. At last, we can enjoy each other’s presence As we inhale the salty air. Near midnight, we return to where we parked My CR-V just through the trees. We laugh and reminisce about high school As we drive back to your dorm building. Our arms wave carelessly Out the windows, Blown lightly By the wind.

Panic 03:03
You said, "it cannot wait until morning.” I wondered what that could possibly mean. This isn’t the first time we’ve been here. You are so much more than the sum of all your fears. On the way from my place to yours In what seemed like hours, Each stoplight was like an event horizon, Impossibly far from my destination.

Procession 04:09
As we pulled into East Lawn One gloomy Sunday, Two men in black appeared Under the marble archway. My sister and I said thank you As they escorted us. Sheltered from the rain, All is shadow under their umbrellas. Passing through the hall Of long-forgotten urns, I thought it would be better to be burned than in the dirt. As we reached the inner sanctum The funeral was underway. The priestess told us to go up And pray. “I love you” Would have been enough for him I think, But when I opened up my mouth, No words came out. So I just went up to the altar Holding two White roses: One for the car, one for the coffin.

Cobwebs 03:59
There are cobwebs Beneath the passenger seat, Mold growing wildly in between. Splotches on the floor All have a dusky sheen. The AC reeks of last year’s memories. I am so much lonelier than I thought I’d be At 22 when the world’s just opening. There are so many people and places I want to see, But I’ve burned too many bridges since graduating. I’m waiting for a revelation, One that strikes like lightning in an instant. Someone take my car, I don’t want it after where it’s been. I’ll just stay in one place until my early twenties end.

Cervantes 05:20
Sitting on a park bench Next to you. My hands are cold So I put them in your jacket. As a means to say I trust you, Which I do. Then I said you’d Be better off without me. Words all caught up in my throat Your skin so pallid and pure it’s distracting. I want to keep your heart safe from me, But again and again I delay Until it’s too late to say We’re both equally to blame.
