I think its hard
for a man to wonder
if its time for a small piece
of himself to become a small part
of the skies quiet home

The heart of no one
can't give the heart to someone

If ones tired eyes
can't see the
shadows of her heels
then its time
to retreat back to the brownstone
back shades of the neighborhood
just east of the column of tree, covered park

When two are together
midway through conversation
silence can signal its time
for a different night to take form
For a different person
a different stage
a heart that struggles to feel
is a slow lie ready to be revealed.

For even the the most majestic of heels
can leave a scar
alongside the most earnest of street tiles.

If only pain had a name
and told the remnants of the soul
to relieve themselves of ones anguish
but the heart wanders
East of the snows coward less road
private thoughts buried
themselves in the plush of the snow
memories amiss,
forgotten.

this was well written I read it back to back, the scars the heels and the wonder of it all took this reader on a thoughtful expedition within
