The Violin Boat
Our friendship started with a story,
Really:
When we cradled our violins
And swept our bows through the air,
Giggling as we peeked into the holes

Wildflowers in This Breeze
All skin
Is made up of the same cells,
All eyes
Reflect the same stars,
All lips
Dance around the same meaning,
And even if they don’t work,
All hearts
Are connected by the same strings;
-
Your Parallel Hearts
To love someone
Is to hand them your heart,
Engraved with scars,
Dripping with roots
Drenched in buds
Thrumming with the pulse

Through Glances at the Sun
Poetry has a silent power
In the way that poets
don’t need words to communicate
With one another;
We simply see a wildflower

A Palmful of Metaphors
I’d like a palmful of metaphors,
Ones to use every time
I put a pen to a page,
To plant in my heart
And become submerged in my hope,
Loves

Not quite what I imagined
I always dreamed that my life would be like it is in books.
Little did I know, that would later come true.
It’s not quite what I imagined though.I did not imagine a government that was poisoned with hatred.

Remember
Remember your past
For it makes you
Who you are.
Remember to ask yourself
Who are you?
Remember the good times
But also keep the bad.
Remember to keep your values

Wristwatches
All along the ticking surface
All the sand along the edge
All deep down in long dry throats:
Fingers press.
Hands Press.
All from loose and baggy skin
Round half-lucid teary minds

Steps
Wake up later than you need to, earlier than you want to and happier than you deserve to.
2) Take a shower. Look at your big little body in the mirror before you get in.

The Law That Ruins Lives
I'm 13 years old
I have literally watched
States make it illegal
To get abortion
Most of the people
Making and signing
The laws
Are men
MEN
Last time I checked

Living Situations
My friend's home is beautiful.
It's got green walls with flowers all over. The floor is soft and plush. It's warm but only in summer, and it's too cold in winter. But my friend likes it just fine.
