Love should be a warm blanket
not a dance over hot coals, crumbs in your bedsheets
or threatening glances
And if it is a dance, let it be one
where I am yours and you belong to me. -

(spoken word performance)
I once described myself as a river
I flow, I change, I fill spaces the way that they need to be filled.
I am like a tree, reaching my roots into the ground, the dirt sliding up my skin -
Storm Warning

It came when I didn't expect it, and it cried
Like a child, it screamed longer than it should've

Whittlers while away time with sticks and knives.
Me, I wait with diamonds, scratching lines into the sky.
Down, down, down, down, and then one across
One for every hour that waiting has cost. -
Home
Hold up my head, hold my hand, because I am falling
Hold me together, with tape, with glue
Prayers aren't enough anymore, nobody's listening.
Tie a noose with the laces of your hole-filled shoes. -
