The little girl at midnight
Once upon a time,
There was a little girl
Barely above the age of 7
Forcing her eyes
To stay open
Awaiting the new year
The little girl
Was excited
She believed
Everything would work out
-
Would we be a disappointment
George Washington
Alexander Hamilton
Thomas Jefferson
John Jay
John Adams
James Madison
And more
We have monuments
To honor these people
A musical for one
A statue for another

The tree that defines me
When I was little, we lived in Philly. Seven hours from where we live now, eight counting the time allotted for rest stops. And a little ways down the sidewalk from our house was this tree.

Roses
It ended with roses.
I process the funeral in snatches.
Glimpses, even.
I see my family spilling out into the cemetery
Long-lost cousins twice-removed,
Great granduncles,

Untitled
With the crashing tide,
And wisps of wind,
Rain melts all there was.
And all that will ever be.
As water rises in the sea.

A long time
It's been a long time since I have felt truly at ease with my friends
Since I've been able to laugh freely, smile easily, and be unapologetically myself
But now I have found people who make me feel accepted and celebrated
