Trekking New Mountain Ranges



I loved you and you knew it too -


that's the only reason you keep

coming back to "check on me"


to -sit on my feet- and poke me

for the sake of conversation


when neither of our brains are

solid enough to entertain our


usual crowds of friends and fire

hazards. You considered reaching


out to hold my heart for a while

when we were too young to


understand the consequences of

distance and lies dancing along wires.


You were a beautiful stranger,

a faceless monster and now


we've both been reduced to magnets

for the taco craving, pancake flipping


bears that currently claim our minds.
