falling
last year, i liked you so much
you filled my mind, my heart,
every doodle and imagining,
a faraway dream i knew i'd never reach
but i would try anyway.
i would stare at you
passing by me,
so effortlessly beautiful, -
random thoughts
sometimes i feel like you can just meet someone, like at school or in some other public environment, and you just know that they're going to be your friend. -
overcome
sadness
it comes to you
every so often
baring its teeth and sinking its claws into your skin
until you bleed all over the floor
your blood the taste of iron
and the salt of your tears.
sometimes so unexpected -
i found you
i found you
hidden in the dark,
your face blazing in the yellow glow of my flashlight.
your eyes staring,
blue-streaked green,
soft and hopeful.
i reached out my hand, and-- -
until i leave
There are four days now until I leave.
It's unbelievable;
surreal, honestly.
Typically I hate leaving the warm cocoon of home,
where life is predictable--
normal
good.
But life,
I am sorry to say,
is never
not ever -
Last Day
We run out of the auditorium
screaming, shrieking,
finally free.
We walk through the woods
to the pond
near our school
where we will spend
the last day of sixth grade.
(Though hasn't it been summer for weeks already?)

Secret Berry Farmer
berry bear
or red fox
glowing in the always night-
always like a charm
always like a home
glowing berry skins
nail polish flakes
acid on the tongue of a
black bear
or red fox

But you were 13 yesterday
And now you come home at 12
Smeared mascara
Red lipstick
Left with a sweet goodbye then
Came back with sins you knew were sins in this

Wife of a Nation
You vacuum the carpet in the same direction,
straight lines like ribs, hoping to be noticed,
hoping someone sees proof of you,
the ghost of your hands pressed into the fibers. -

la mer et l'amour
Brazil, the year forgotten. The sun is rising.
The ocean longs for her beloved moon but she has already gone down. The sun has taken her place and the water finds no comfort in him.

Float
I'm falling into the deep end,
That dark place that floods me
Over and over till I'm drowning
And I just float, float, float.
