Individual Particularity
In my room I have my
bed, books, and my dresser, plus
my desk, which contains
a long drawer & a smaller drawer,
the former of which holds many
valuable items–
One is my notebook, -
Diving
During times like this, all I need is that feeling of diving down deep under the water & into the infinite depths of a book which tears your heart open and leaves it strewn about in pieces on the ocean floor.

Midsummer nostalgia
Midsummer.
It makes me think
of blueberries.
Warm lake water & the
occasional rainstorm–midsummer.
Dried out tall grass bursting
with ticks who want to catch
a ride; we walk anyway. -
That Bucket Which Tipped (I'm Sorry)

and apologies
filled that bucket
which tipped, spilled,
cascaded down
onto me like
a small yet
dense portion of
Niagara Falls,
and filled my
world with
sorrowful change,

ode to the girl in my homeroom who only speaks french

The World Outside Of The Car Window
I stare out of the car window,
with my life anthem
blasting in my ears,
but not quite loud enough
to drown out the sound
of my dad talking to my cousin.

pumpkin patch in september
when the time comes
i am not ready.
as in,
the ground beneath me is still dew-soft with summer
and i am just barely stretching awake
to a morning not yet frosted over. they grab my stem

Where I Find You
You are everywhere,
A light path through the forest of
Light pink cherry blossoms in spring.
Petals flutter gently through the air,
Soft as snowflakes, a cascade of petals.
You are everywhere, -
Haiku of Blue
Blue softness and warmth
Blue peace beyond all else is
A warm blue sweater
