drowning
the cool water laps over my arms, my legs
spills into my eyes
the sun is shining just above the surface in its brilliant radiance
but i'm underneath, waves tugging me away
and i almost forget i'm drowing -
the millionth untitled poem
You say I used to live in another world, one you don't know about
but really
all I am is who I am when I'm with you.
I'll give you my heart, my mind, my soul, the words coursing through my veins -
In Another Life
I stare at your beautiful face,
at your wide smile underneath freckled cheeks,
at your unknowing blue eyes, filled with glimering stars,
hear the way your laugh sounds as it bounces through the hall, -

that I could fall delicately to the floor in a wave of white lace and tears
let the mascara run, but only for a moment
and then wipe it away, my cheeks the color of rose petals -

The Silent and Still

The friends you made against your will.
The evening light,
The morning mist,
The impossible odds that you even exist.

Mistakes Made
Her anger spilled in cruel phrases.

The Dreams of This Evening
What will you do with your one wild and precious life?
There was June snow
All day today,
Whispering through the air

was there before?
it's hard to remember when/
when the throat begins to scratch at the mouth, begging to be let free
when the stomach begins its churning waves like an upset ocean god

I Am Someone Who
I am someone who is waiting on a dock in the middle of the night. There is a gross, green electric light shining on me. There is something out in the waves.

wait for it
she says i’m warm
yet i feel
cold
distant
i feel space,
the seconds
and severed flesh
that separates
me from myself.
how can i be warm
how can i be excited
