verse from “Framed”
The ballpoint’s still on the blotter,
ink dried to a bruise-grey blot.
I counted each bill twice over,
held copper pennies in my hot.
Outside the window glass,
a courier honks my name—
label stuck like a postage stamp,
same return with no one home.
verse from “The Woman in 3B”
The sugar bowl’s half-empty every week
she leaves it out like an unspoken treat
tilt of the porch light at 7:38
I never worked up the nerve to meet
Her tea roses climb the chain-link fence
a scarlet ladder left to climb
I watch from behind my venetian slits
while she hums something old and tame in time
verse from “The Last Night on Elm”
Mattress straight on the floorboards tonight
Curtains went down before noon
Streetlamp outside cuts right through the glass
And paints the room cold as a moon
Stacked eight taped-up boxes against the far wall
Marked "Linens" and "Kitchen" in blue
Every footstep carries clear down the hall
Like the drywall is listening too
Pencil marks remain on the pantry door frame
Where somebody's kid hit five feet
Just an empty roll of tape on the sill
And the radiator losing its heat
verse from “Sidelines”
Friday nights, I'd watch you pace
Back and forth, a constant face
In the crowd, a reassuring sight
As I played, you guided me through the fight
Your words, a gentle, pushing breeze
That made me run, made me believe
In myself, in every single play
You saw the best, even on my worst day
Summer camps, and winter weights
You were there, through every single ache
A steady hand, a knowing glance
Helping me find my second chance
To prove myself, to make you proud
To hear you say, "I knew you could"
The bus rides home, the long talks late
About life, and the game, and our fate
verse from “Paperwork”
Your old voice mail still warm on the screen,
redial button cracked like the vinyl seats in my seventeen.
The office lights flicker, same old routine—
the printer hums the same empty tune beneath.
Coffee rings map my name like a summer street,
date stamps blur where they used to bleed.
I check the line where the operator said,
“Please hold,” like the silence was something to dread.
verse from “The Old Swimming Hole”
That rope swing still creaks when the wind kicks out west,
mother's old mason jar full of lemonade rests
on the picnic table cracked where my knees left scars.
The town put a fence 'round the water this year—
saw them measure it off in a fluorescent vest,
somebody’s plan to keep the kids out who are
verse from “Dark Sky Blue”
Candles burned down to their last inch,
flickering over stacks of library books.
Your grandma’s clock ticked just one beat slow,
counting hours we never meant to keep.
verse from “Closing Time Lullaby”
Last customer left with a paper bag strong,
smell of licorice and old shop music still hanging wrong.
Keys rattle like secrets the front door forgot,
lamps buzz high-pitched prayers we won't shop here anymore.
verse from “Leaving the Shell”
Packing up the last of my clothes, feeling trapped in this space
Rent's due soon, but I'm already gone, in my mind, I'm in a new place
Four walls that never felt like home, just a temporary hide
I'm counting down the hours till I'm free, anxiety won't subside
The landlord's voice, a constant stress, always on my case
I'm just a tenant, not a resident, no sense of time or space
The fire alarm's always on the fritz, the shower's always cold
I'm done with this flat, it's time to unfold
A new chapter waits, but what if I fail?
The fear of unknown streets, it makes my heart frail
I'm searching for a reason to stay, but it's hard to find
A reason to keep paying, to keep this life on my mind
The thought of moving, it brings me pain
But the thought of staying, it's driving me insane
I need a change, a new point of view
A place to call my own, where I can break through
verse from “Unpacking”
Panic sets in as I stare at these walls
Four years of my life, but never a home at all
The lease is up, and I'm feeling trapped
Counting down the days, my anxiety mapped
On every crack, every flaw, every mistake
I'm reminded why I never felt at ease, why I'd rather escape
The thought of leaving's a weight on my chest
But staying's not an option, I need to find my rest
I'm searching for a way to break the mold
To shatter the monotony, to unfold
A new chapter, a new page, a new place to call mine
Where the air is fresh, and the vibes are divine
But for now, I'm stuck in this limbo, unsure
If I'm ready to let go, to shut the door
On the memories, the laughter, the tears, the fights
And step into the unknown, with all its delights
verse from “Static Answer”
The screen goes cold before my thumb could swipe,
Midnight hums through the walls like a power line.
Area code blinking—where? My sister’s voice or some bill collector?
I weigh the phone like a stone in my hand.
verse from “The Crack in October”
Steam curls off the bus exhaust like old ghosts
I laced my boots and fed the cat like it’s just another day
But the window’s ice won’t melt and the news is all bad news
One more frost to scrape off the Chevy’s sorry windshield
verse from “Another Hand at the Doorbell”
Their Welcome Wagon sticker curled up top the mailbox
Kids’ stickers pressed where mine once popped
The porch swing creaks the same slow haul
I showed them how to stop it squeaking once
verse from “Second Thoughts at the Banquet Hall”
Satin chairs all lined in rows of white like teeth half-drilled by dentists
Band already tuned to “our song,” the one we left behind on every voicemail
Bartender asks my name to write it on a napkin in some lazy script
I let him think it’s engraved there in something permanent and unmistakable
verse from “Before the Matching Scars”
I polish my shoes to a blinding shine,
counting the cracks they’ve picked up over time.
Dad’s old toolbox smells of linseed and oil,
mom’s recipe card signed in her schoolgirl style.
verse from “Departure Time”
My suitcase is packed, but my mind's still undone
Thinking 'bout the journey, and the life I've outrun
The clock on the wall, it's ticking away fast
I'm searching for a reason, to make this trip last
My heart's racing like the engine of the plane
I'm trying to calm down, but my soul's in pain
The thought of leaving, it's tearing me apart
I'm questioning the purpose, of this journey from the start
I've got my boarding pass, but I don't wanna go
The anxiety's creeping, as the minutes start to show
I'm trying to breathe deep, but my chest feels tight
The departure time's approaching, and I'm losing the fight
My mind's a maze of worries, my thoughts are in disarray
I'm trying to find a way out, but I'm stuck in this fray
The flight attendants are calling, it's time to take my seat
I'm feeling like a prisoner, with my freedom on the street
verse from “Receipts in the Pocket”
Mustard stain on the wool, fingers trace the lining slow
Keys from '09 still clink, the zipper fights me so
Forgot the dry cleaner's slip, my luck runs thin today
But this faded IKEA blue—no, wait, this isn't the right shade
verse from “Ghost in the Static”
Phone still glowing on my nightstand, 2:47 in black and white
Your last text just a screenshot, screensaver of last October’s light
Every ring now feels like static, every buzz just noise it throws
I counted calls but stopped at forty—I lost count by the clothesline rows
verse from “Dust in the Mirrors”
Third week of May, the foreman squints in the sun,
shows me which wheelbarrow’s got the wobble, says “Get it done.”
My sneakers were white, now they’re the color of the gravel lot,
clock-in card covered in the dust we kick up to the top.
verse from “Headlights on the Blacktop”
Gravel crunches under the back tire again
Last bell still ringing here where I lost my name
The dim glow of exit signs, none point the same
My fingers tap that eight-second count down lane
verse from “Old Tracks”
The front porch swing still creaks the same old tune
Wind through those pines sounds just like nineteen-ninety-one
Your bowl’s full by the stove where sunbeams fall
But I stroke the gray along his muzzle anyway—oh well
verse from “Fading Out”
December 31st, the clock is ticking down
Final hours of a year that's worn my crown
Every mistake, every misstep, they all resound
In my mind, a highlight reel of what's gone wrong, spinning round
I'm searching for a light, a beacon in the night
To guide me through the darkness, and make everything right
But it's hard to find my footing, when the ground keeps shifting sand
And I'm left with just a whisper, of a fading plan
I'm trying to shake the feeling, that I've lost my way
That every door I've opened, has led me further astray
The fire that once burned, now just a smoldering flame
I'm left to wonder, if I'll ever find my way back to the game
The voices in my head, they just won't cease
Telling me I'm not enough, that I'm just a fleeting tease
I'm trying to silence them, but they just won't subside
As the clock strikes midnight, and the year says its final goodbye
verse from “Pinch of Salt”
Oil’s smoking, I burnt the pan,
voice on the line says just start again—
my thumb blocks the speaker, no one else’s damn
business how long this takes or where I stand.
verse from “Nobody's Ping Pong”
Clock chimes twelve sharp on the dollar-store wall,
you count your breaths like a drumroll dying slow.
I trace the cracks on the table where we'd fall,
smoke curls up from the ashtray—stale and cold.
Your coat still draped on the chair where you crashed,
phone glowing green—no new messages.
I should walk away, but the door’s still ajar,
and you’re humming some song we sang back in March.
