Leaving Portland

I’m leaving Portland

And all the snow capped mountains God has tugged up towards the sky

Grateful, hopeful, loving 


Your voice comes in 

Bitter leaking through kind words, 


Hurt disguised as clarity

I wish sometimes we could just speak clearly

Tell each other the small ways in which we feel wronged


Tend to the wounds already plastered with bandaids 


Instead of drawing our sleeves down over the cuts - delivered, not read
