  • Stained-Glass Girl

    you should be an image in stained-glass windows 

    the same ones you trace with your eyes every sunday 

    while hymns echo in your ears, words 

    you've known so long you forget the meaning. 

  • Lavender and Gardenias

    Her room smelled of lavender and gardenias

    As we lay under silky rays of sun

    And danced around the truth in long, snaking sentences,

    Words falling over one another until they

    Became nothing, only syllables

  • nevermind, then.

    and the pale pink is fading from the morning sky

    the same way the words from the song i sang about you

    under my misty-cold breath

    died on my lips. i wonder if i would've waited forever,

    I haven’t been to upstate New York since I was ten years old and we drove away from our house there without looking back.

  • I hate the sunset tonight

    Why won't the sky explode in a burst of orange-yellow-red radiance, turning each moment golden? Or fade into lavender laced with blue and whisper-pink, the world muffled and soft around the edges?
