1.  Berlin
It’s freezing on this rooftop
But your hand on my hip
Against my skin
Is warm inside my jeans
and
My little finger traces you
With a mind of its own.


2. (A haiku)
I still wear your watch
You use the mug I gave you
We’ve not talked in weeks


3.  Junior Prom
You kissed me in the final week of April
On a day that had no rain.
But on the drive home,
With my lips barely apart
And my head still full of static,
I saw the very first flash of summer lightening.
Lonely, and purple white,
It split the sky like something in a movie.

&quot;I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it&#039;s these things I believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn&#039;t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything&quot;
