The way a guy attacks his worklist
shows if he’s work
or pleasure oriented.

It whispers around
that scary sound
of being alone

but when it does
I think of Rose
and I hope it goes

there’s nothing out here/there
but the clothes we wear
and that silent sound.

I almost made some unforgivable mistake
with Rose and my children.
Almost cut us loose from each other
to drift until the ends of our lives
and not know
what we could have been to and for each other.

When I see the hand of God move
I’m never sure which side or why
and the closer passes the stroke
the less anything
resembles what went before.
