A Barricade

Last night I dreamt of knee deep snow
The kind you and I will never know
The kind that never seems to go away
The kind that keeps you here at home
Blanket pulled up to your nose
A barricade against the cold
Because I don't want you to go
Last night I dreamt of knee deep snow

"I thought you quit," I said as I watched her light her cigarette.
A wry smile. She shrugs, "Please, not this again. It's always worse this time of year."
I let it drop and warm my hands up on her coffee cup. She says, "At least you're doing fine."
I say, "I still can't sleep at night."
Her fingers pull and twist her napkin into bits. I say, "I never thought that you'd come home."
She asks, "Has it always been this cold?" The headlights' glare illuminates her and her vacant stare. She says, "I really hate it here."
"Guess we could all use a new year."
The steam from my mouth twists into the smoke from hers. We watch it swirl and disperse.

Holding Pattern

These gold rings we wear
Were designed
To ward off these old ghosts
When will you leave again?
Will you finally do
the darkest things I fear the most?
Circle in
Retreat and hold
We're both getting older
Is this what we've settled for?
I wake with a start at night
This bed is cold
You're still sleeping on the couch
You never meet my eyes
Never say a word
You ignore the hand I'm holding out
Circle in
Retreat and hold
We're both getting older
Is this what we've settled for?
Circle in
Retreat and hold
Repeat this holding pattern
But I can't hold out anymore

I don't want to write
I don't want to speak
Nothing would sound right
Except the shuffling of your feet
The bleeding of your songs
The crashing of the beat
Pushing through the walls
Scraping through your teeth
There's no more melody
Drowning in the noise
Struggling to breathe
Desperate for your voice
Or any muffled sound
The squeaking of the strings
Your fingers wrapped around
The throat of your disease
But I can't hear the kick drum
