Subject: "Porous"...i didn't write this about any one in particular..but now that i look at it- it could be about my mom


These nurtured hands
have poured over me
and washed my skin
of another lost night.
It's funny how you can
blanket the storm,
and keep it under me.
And this canopy is eroding and becoming
just as jaded as your insensitive soul.

This sobbing quilt
has nothing left to offer
but the silence of my broken stare.
Swollen eyes have no use
for seeing anymore,
bathing in this salty solution
is causing my blindness.

We've built bridges
with our memories
but we have oceans left to cross,
and carry my soaking body
through his temperamental weather
has become a burdening chore.

And when these ceilings finally cave in,
we'll be drowing in the
bodies of water you've made.
