~Juggle~

the sweetness
and sharpness
of turbulence
this house
was never
noisy
so why
does it
feel lonely
without you?

it takes
courage to
juggle heartache
dreams on hold

it's your
grief, darling
don't let
anyone tell
you how
to do it

coffee beans
on a tray
pungent perfume
lights up
the dark corners

the moon
is pale
and weeping
round and low
let's go
a wonder
walk

nothing great
happens when
you hold back
don't be
shy, sugar
and a dream
