I. Our hearts wide open on the sofa, in the den, we glide past memories and landscapes of lost wishes and dreams untouched– but oh, my dear, did you touch them! How far you ran! How far we traveled when home was right next door? I can only tell you so many times how muchContinue reading “Three Parts”

my love for you
in a world of gods and loves and ashes, all I can hope for is for mine to be pure gold… love tracing down our backs, marking a code of innocence– this moment startled me, but the love I have for you, or had– it startled me more. August 2, 2015
While Walking
A division in the concrete warrants a bruised knee, some pep in the step, perhaps a quick jump-and-skip; you never want to break your leg but you go on, hoping for the best… Luck was never with me. Luck was always with a friend. And I was neither friend nor foe– what does thatContinue reading “While Walking”
The First Day
The day I sat and looked in the mirror I stared: I was looking at me. But it was not me that I saw. My pupils rounded, black trench coats preparing for summer rain my skin relaxed after the ebb and flow of the day I dared not move for there I swearContinue reading “The First Day”
Let Us Be the Light
Knowing that one religion is not one religion it is one love … We are all here and we all need that one thing fly away to the one truth that was ever needed. … Love me like the sister I am to you; why can I only use the term brothers … Our LoveContinue reading “Let Us Be the Light”

The Return
Finding God, again, in more than the rings in the lake– it is a revelation and a relief. It is an epiphany and a journey, quietly guiding you hand in hand into an uncertain abyss of certainty– that you can always let go and be certain of nature catching you. June 3, 2014
Kitchen Sink
My brain is like a faucet flow the memories down: what good, half-full moment do you encounter down the stair, past the front door– away from me– you creek towards a polaroid camera, an album soon to be extinct I want my mind to be only mine to see, only mine to use– toContinue reading “Kitchen Sink”
Simple
I have been without myself for so long, now. Fearing a second coming of the impossible I run my eyes away from my heart enough to see the mean girls coming from across the dorm-room hall I locked myself in– or rather out– of the very place my peace was founded: inside of me residesContinue reading “Simple”
