POEM: Lost And Found

Published 15 May 2024 by Jason Crane

Lost And Found

You left your water bottle.
You left your scent on the sheets.
You left a space on the couch where you belong.

You left me reeling.
You left me wanting more.
You left the taste of salt and honey.

You left paintbrushes and a toothbrush.
You left an Eagles CD as a joke.
And in the end — you left.

Stay.

POEM: The Space Between Stations

Published 10 May 2024 by Jason Crane

The Space Between Stations

the sound of the rain swells
though the open bedroom window
as if every house on the block
was tuned not to the ballgame
or the fight but to static
the space between stations

deep in the center of me
the rain makes me long for you
the touch of your strongsoft hands
the reassurance of your breathing

as the rain settles to a murmur
I say your name, turn out the light

POEM: Indra’s Net

Published 6 May 2024 by Jason Crane

Indra’s Net

I am reflected in you.
You are reflected in me.
We are reflected in them.
They are reflected in us.
Through you I become infinite.
Through me you become boundless.
Through them we touch everyone.
Through us they touch everywhere.
They are reflected in us.
We are reflected in them.
You are reflected in me.
I am reflected in you.

POEM: Organizing

Published 1 May 2024 by Jason Crane

Organizing

You find the people you can trust
and with them you push down on the lever
that moves the world until you hear
a ripping sound as the old ways
are torn up by the roots, leaving
fresh soil in which to plant the seeds
of the new world, the world where
we’re all free to be
who we were always meant to be.
