Literature
ambivalance
i will never be at peace
as you are
finally
because
i decided to live
even though it goes against every fiber of my being.
i miss you
i envy you
i hate you
but more than anything
i love you.

Rosebush
If I were to tell you,
"Life is not a bed of roses."
Would you still continue
To pull the weeds from beneath the rows?
If I said,
"There are some wounds that cannot heal."
Would you still reach between the brambles
And allow the thorns to pierce your skin?
Were I to mention,
"Even the brightest of flowers
Will eventually succumb to time."
Would you still cut the heads
In preparation for the new spring buds?
You simply smile and say;
"Yes.
For even the most vapid vine deserves to be cultivated.
Only then can it bloom
And truly enjoy its time in the sun."

The Lighthouse Keeper
I've manned the lighthouse since 1912 when
Titanic sank, & I will continue to do so
until she emerges from the deep, bringing
demons snarling inside the steaming pipes,
& sails one last time. Guiding her home,
the lighthouse shines far, not near.
At night I catch beams from the tower in a lantern
& swim out with it to the boat bobbing on the surface,
surrounded by shreds of mist. I begin to row,
the gentle splashes of the oars warning the seahorses.
They trample the jellyfish as they escape,
because they’re so different in their ways,
one foaming by the muzzle & the other just drifting
(like you floated away).
I try the jellyfish on
