jennifer killian Poems

This is not a poem for you
It is a poem to erase you
...

She moves with the kind of beauty
That only an inner stillness brings
A knowledge;
A certainty
...

The trees are bare now
only a few stubborn leaves hang on
There is no color, the sky has betrayed me
The wind is cold, a lonely, sad wind
...

I think I may be dying
(really)
My mind is numb
The numbness is spreading
...

You brought the rain
And then left the room
My red sin is gone, swirling down the drain
I am indebted to you
...

A million poems about you
Just blow around and around
In the dusty, cool air
There is no anchor,
...

Tomorrow was good, then.
Now the ticking of my watch
Listens to your slow breathing as you sleep
Counting the hours until…
...

My heart is in pieces this Valentine’s day
I’ll give anyone a piece,
Come, take one
it never belonged to me anyway
...

That damn passenger seat
It drives me crazy
You always tilted it back so far
It echoes and I miss you
...

I saw him coming
On horseback,
The animal flickering back and forth
As the shadows fell and rose over his beautiful black mane
...
