Tell me about your dreams
tell me about your dreams
about twisted trees
and falling tea leaves
tell me about how your dreams help you cope with grief
it doesn't have to be brief

a deep brown
my eyes are a deep brown.
not icy blue.
or emerald green.
my eyes won't be stared at
or drowned it
or complimented
they aren't noticed in a big crowd
but maybe they're noticed in a small one.

when he smiles (unrequited)
when he smiled
oh the way my heart danced
and when he laughed
oh the way i stop and stare
and when he cried
i knew something was off
the way he cared
made me love him even more

quiet winter day
school was called off but i still woke up early
i woke up early to watch the snow coat the green grass with white
as the window fogged, i lost sight
i grabbed my gloves and boots

Sunset
"hi." i say as i walk over to him. "hi." he said as he stared up at the sunset. "pretty, ain't it?" i nod. "looks like gold." he said.
we both sat down on the cement craning our necks up to the sky.

Rain dance
i ran under the outing by the bus stop,, the bus was late,, it was raining,, i was alone,, and i was cold.

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

Wristwatch
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.

sunday nights
sunday nights are my own.
old music in the corners of my mind
pen scratches on paper, ten thousand poems
two hundred and seventy-two
little golden lights, 4 walls
that mirror my soul.

Halls
the doors
are left open
for him
to walk through
and brightly lit
with all
he will ever need
when beside him
there is a girl
stumbling through
a dark hall
unable to find her way
