Jessica Cummings Poems

I just love your head
Because it houses your brain
Which is your real love muscle
...

Work work work work, work work work work, work work work work
STOP
and
do
...

Am I to forever be
chained to this rock?
So far
in my experience
...

He's so cute because
he flew off to bed and now
he flies in my head
...

Before our separate paths
take us far on separate ways
Before those paths are distanced
by the passing of the days
...

Maybe someday I will share with you
Maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday you'll understand with me
Maybe someday I will grow
...

We conversed
Like I like
In the wee hours of the night
You told me things
...

So close yet so far away
You are here with me
In the very same room
I ran my fingers through your hair
...

He's so cute;
He flew off to bed!
and now he flies alongside love
inside of my head.
...

She walks along
disheveled in her mind
shadow of a glimmer of hope in her eye
arms heavy from holding on
...
