Craters

if you looked through
the window
you might see a ghost,

or a mirror.
Your own reflection
hollowing out

as if you were only bones
accompanied by
a sheet:

Boo.

more of the same,
none of the
same

things are happening
for the other.
The Distance

pulls and pushes
playing games, with what we see
and what we get.

Sometimes it’s violent
but we land
soft.

Listening to the struggles
of another,
and another

just trying
to land
on their feet.

One day’s
treasure
another day’s

karma.
but
there are

Scars that

we leave
behind
only seen

in the ripples of the touched

surface, from the
other
side;

I am not
your karma
or your

reflection.

Ascended from the
stars,
friends with the moon,

worshipper of the ocean
tide coming in
and knocking you

Clean off
your feet.

but you’ll land

okay because I’m sure
you always find, another siren
close to the top of the water

that allows
you safe passage
in and out

of the rippling windows
that lie between
the tides

and, now.
