Faith
They told you to believe.
So you did. With all your heart.
And that heart betrayed you,
again and again,
so you beat it bloody
until it cowered
and you ran from it.

Spring Rain
I don't believe in leaves in March
but here I am, showered full to bursting in May's nakedness
I didn't believe, but I knew the truth, they would come.
I rage,
I weep,

Humanity
It was a dark thing that lived in their chests
It was a heavy thing that kept them tied to the ground
Unaware of the power their wings held
And yet so very alert to the fact
That wings they did have
Feathers and muscles and tendons -
Deep COVID
I used to get so angry at the broken pieces of the world.
I used to cry when they cut me
or if I saw them cut anyone else.
Now I turn to mist —
spread out, light, floating.
You can't hurt mist. -
August
He was always my favorite, out of all of them – it was barely a competition. He knew it, too. I suppose he was used to being peoples favorite. After all thats how they found him. He wasn't just charming. He wasn't just a people person.

Remember the girl?
She’s in second grade,
Maybe
Blond brown curls
Blue green eyes.
She’s sitting on the top metal pole of the fence
Chipped green paint

Look Closely
I will not shave my legs
not because I am against it
but because being myself feels like my own act
of rebellion
I will not quiet down
let the world hear my pride and excitement
but I will not shout

Party of One
I can talk to myself forever
when there's no one else around and it's just me in my head
we have fun
I can do any topic you want, come on
pick a card
pick a card
pick a face

Never again
I hate that all that's left
of your memory
is a couple of Polaroids
A couple of photos I snapped because I didn't know what else to take photos of
I hate that.
Nothing could ever capture your spirit
