Some poems by David Greenberg

Prologue

I don't have
a thought in my head
that's not about you
And you don't think
twice about me



After Rumi

I try to sleep
On an empty feeling
Face down
I stare at the ceiling
A pregnant pause
Stardust and television snow
I can't get enough of your face


The dumb grins
And senseless sentences
Confused thick lips
Steamy silhouettes
Against the shower curtains
All the particulars
Behind a white door


In the battle to see
Who cared less
I lost




Insomnia


I can't sleep
When you're not here
To keep me wide awake



From Love Song

Waiting for the phone to never ring


Or the right moment
To give up
