When I seek heat (draft)
I'm so cold
yet I'm never as bold
as to ask
for your warm hand.
I yearn for heat
and yet can't beat
that one task;
too salient to land
on an action.

Missing
She is a lark
ripping the bark
as she takes off.
A missed sight
into the night.
Mother weeps for her.
The lost child
gone in the wind.

The brain works in peculiar ways
Intuition works off our biases. By that, I mean our brain takes visual clues from the environment to conclude what is going on. Most of intuition must be subconscious, too.

Why did they cheer?
It was that class—
Physical education—
where I experienced it
for the first time.
The opposing team,
all boys,
were cheering me
to go to the basket.

Fog on a Winter Morning
Foggy mid-winter
With the earthy smell of Spring.
How is this Vermont?

Vulnerable love
Crescent moon eyes with cheeks bunched up below
A smile and laugh that creates warm swells
The small moments of interest you show
You ask what I am doing, so I tell.
You tease, I tease back — these moments cherished

hummingbird girl
She's hidden, cowering in the corner,
as she waits, mouth open,
words frozen on her lips.
She does not speak.
I mold my sadness into poetry and she watches me,
amber eyes taking in everything and nothing.

Lost in Time
I'll find you in the golden hour
I see your eyes in the trees
when the world, for an hour, is rimmed with glow
I'll look for you in the leaves.
I'll find you in the pink hour

Her whispers
my intuition,
she whispers,"they're worried,"
she whispers,
"it's not safe,"
she tells me things i could not see with my eyes
and always, i listen -
My Neighborhood in Saudi Arabia
You might have read the title and yes, I came from Saudi Arabia. I was actually the third generation in Saudi Arabia.

Cup of Blood
The idea of you is a spill of coffee on my cold lips
Within the protection of a sweater
On a maple afternoon
Though my cup did not hold transparency

A Celestial Affair
I have never quite been
Just as confused
Than on that quiet and sad afternoon
As I lay on the ground
And watched joy abound
As the sun danced around with the moon
Although it was day
