  • always

    severus snape knew what always meant

    he knew the weight of it

    he understood it

    "after all this time?"

    "always."

    always

    something so powerful

    with such weight

    so profound

  • A Hug of People

    We didn't know the guy 

    in the truck 

    who's that guy? 

    my sister asked, 

    and I wondered if city people 

    expected to know everyone 

    they saw around town. 

  • News

    Ice caps are melting,

    According to the news,

    Which I’ve stopped reading,

    Because I don’t want to hear about the

    Melting ice

    Underneath the polar bears feet,

    Not when I see enough

  • Poetry

    By wph

    I wish I was bigger

    I wish I was bigger.

    I wish I had a little bit more muscle.

    I wish there was more between my skin and my bones,

    That my ribs wouldn’t show when I take off my shirt,

    That I wasn’t made of tissue paper.
     

  • Dear Mother

    Dear Mother, 

    I have missed you these past few months. 

    Where did you go? 

    I see you standing there, torch held high, yet you do not answer my calls. 

  • For Her, I Stay

    A ghost of a father.
    An angry mother.
    A forbidden best friend.
    A suppressed love—
    A suppressed identity.

    Oh, how strange it is to feel alone,
    while surrounded by people.

    No friends.
    Bitter family.
