silent sound

it was exactly
what I didn't want
a room
an excuse
a place to go on living
without
really any aspirations at all.

I guess
it was
another man's dream
I was
thinking
of.

I am here.

I am in this chair.

My wife
is in the other chair,
next to me.

This.

yes.

this
is
what I was thinking of.

(silent sound of heart expanding).

4th of july

love intensifies
with the woman with the knife
in the kitchen
looking longingly
at me from her solid stance
fireworks
booming blasting
bombing
outside every window
it's that
time of year
when
everything burns
a little hotter.
