Coastal Christmas Time
I’ve only seen the snow once in my life, when we took a family trip to Lake Tahoe.

Goldfish
Living in today’s world is like living as an addict of constant entertainment.
I find myself searching “screen-free activities”

Feet on the Ground, Head in the Clouds
The clouds, they
Whip my cheeks
With their surprising iciness
Turning them raw and rosy.

It's getting worse
Mom
It's getting worse
I hate
the way my tummy rolls when i sit in this chair and how i feel guilty when i eat a whole bag of peeler gummies and when i don't eat because i hate how i look in the mirror

The Things We Almost Say
There is a language
spoken only in half-glances,
in the weight of a pause
just before someone smiles. -

every page dotted with stars
too many to count,
each one whispering my name.
But now the nights glow
with lights that never sleep.
