  • Australia

    At school we draw in the margins of our notebook paper

    and toy with the idea of moving to Australia. 

    We look up the latest news in between classes, knowing that

    the teachers will think we're addicted to our phones.

  • Apple Cider

    I want to drink apple cider with you 

    Like it’s a fine wine, 

    Make-believe adult, wrapped in your wool blanket, 

    Counting the minutes until your parents return. 

  • Thinking About You

    I never thought about you in the daytime 

    When the sun spread like melted butter over the dwindling 

    Blueberry bushes. 

    I’d scavenge with them 

  • A Villanelle

    The pool is open, did you not hear? 

    There’s a banner in town advertising it. 

    Summer hasn’t yet slipped from my fingertips. 

     

    I almost want to cry 

  • Fragile

    Spring is a blossom crushed 

    Unbeknownst to you, in your clammy palm. 

    It’s a season made of glass, 

    Fragile, disintegrating 

    Like the April showers filling 

    Cracks in the pavement.
