Last Flight Out
I’ve occupied the same heart for several lifetimes several deaths I’ve been broken many times at the same places and there is a pain I know like the back of my hand a pain I’ve lived with intimately, stubbornly like a pet knife that’s been driven into my flesh at the same spot wounds of… Continue reading

Pièce de Résistance
Sometimes I get asked if I’ve always known I would or wanted to leave it all behind for love, this love, or some love, and whether I think it was worth being in a place where I have to start again from the beginning with nothing but my name and my history and my favored… Continue reading

The Wedding Entourage
Soon it will be you and me instead of us and them just count the days down to when we can truly begin to belong to each other without them watching. I know you’re suffocating. It’s hard to love when they can’t even give us silence when they are all talking and we must listen.… Continue reading

The Way Gravity Choreographs the Fall
So love strongly, love with the strength of karma and evolution and the burning stars inside your soul. Let your love be a storm unto itself. Let it roar through the corridors in the freedom of being whole, or at the very least the grace of beauty in brokenness, and in embracing it, wholly. Love… Continue reading

Quantum Origami
That funny feeling in your stomach when we first met was your physical reaction to time folding in half, creased at that moment. So now that we’re together, you can think of all the times you have ever been hurt or lied to, and hold me a little tighter. Then you and I can make… Continue reading

Passion by Mandelbrot
It will take a thousand decisions consciously made, a thousand copies of the same answer to the same question phrased a little bit different every time, to stand up and stage a true resistance to a great big fear that divides itself into a thousand pieces in order to surround us and wear us out,… Continue reading
