Time Has Pulled Away
I heard your voice repeating on long, dark boards and stairs.
A static, buzzing beating
We'll force ourselves to care that time has pulled away.

Every Fiber
Smell the air, smell the feedback.
Paint the road electro-pure.
Touch your hair, push the seat back.
I feel, I know, I'm sure.

Stop at the place just off the square.

We can take all the pictures and we'll take all the prose.
Resend the frozen moments. No one has to know.
And I can pull my arm out of socket - you can pull up the blinds.
Sing while the ceiling fan turns in time.

By the door, by the magazines, there's your coat, left for months.
When it hit, when the weather changed,
who would question you'd be back?
If you want, even otherwise, I'll save the room just this way.
Up until you stop by, some night.

Full and Frayed
Full stop where you let go - count a moment for your return.
One drop, stuttered and slow. Then you're back to approaching.
In the pictures year away, the explosions were deafening.
In the dark we all prayed to lights above the sound.

Clouds and stars collide.
Pulsing air expands then subsides.
Stirred by a spark, we're standing awake here.

Limbs ache, bones are unwound. All disperse at a yawning pace.
Touch, take back to the ground - gentle glowing in every face.
We sang to the tune of our steps composing
a nightbook inscribed, "We stayed full and frayed."

Clouds and stars collide.
Pulsing air expands then subsides.
Stirred by a spark, we're standing awake here.

Going To Breathe Again
I couldn't figure out how I was ever going to breathe again.
For the last hundred minutes or so
I took a peek at the signs that we've saved face with ourselves.

Piles of empty pages like mountains of potential failure.
I didn't know if I could justify myself enough to breathe in.

Woke Up To Find - for Marigold
I woke up to find
the sheets on the floor
one cat's on the rumpled sheets
the other's in the window watching birds
I hear her in the shower
and I'm contemplating a sick day from work

Attic Fan
Burn the yard. Set off the grass at one throw.
The flames damp and slow.
Fell the trees. Grind it all down to the pulp.
The hot dirt smoke.

Or stare out at the road - switch off the lights.

Bloody hands. Take the house down to the ground.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Splintered skin. Breathe through the old barren frame.
A low, loud sound.

Or stare out at the road - wait for full flight.

Air sucked through the roof - the clouds, the moon and stars.

I'm guessing this is a good review, but I don't know anyone who reads Norwegian, so I don't really know.
