Behind my Back

I'm turning inside out
trying to figure out
why I'm so concerned
with how you feel.

I hear you've been talking smack
behind my back
it hurts to hear
and I'm not impressed.

I admit I've said my share
but have never dared to undermine what we have.

Rain (Wisconsin)

i hear the rain
against the pavement
trickling down
washing away the day

not too long ago
the storm was shrewd
throwing pebbles of ice
lighting the sky with electric fury

now it is her and I
lovers for the night
I will sleep in her embrace
and when I wake she may be gone
