  • Leap of Faith

    That leap of faith
    I sometimes take
    are strides without my thinking
    Instead of calculating length
    I do some rapid blinking.
    As I teeter on the edge of life
    or death
    between. Whichever.
    I do not think before I leap
  • The Yoga Mat

    I somehow wound up
    Sitting on a blue yoga mat in my back yard.
    It was just so beautiful to sit inside
    And the sun was calling me today which it normally never does 
    (if so I'm usually am too busy to listen)
  • Carbonated

    I have this cage around my chest
    its metallic and bared so close together
    My lungs can not properly expand.

    Each breath stings my sternum 
    As if its a titanium pole
    that can not and will not bend
  • Unlike Me

    A poem by Sienna (my sister!) 

    Drawing is not like writing.
    It isn't, not a bit.
    They say its worth a thousand words,
    But you don't write in it.
    The shadow that I'm in
    Is a writer,
    Unlike me.
    Its just, oh so hard,
  • Zoom Prez

    Can everything just...work out...nicely... for my presentation
    For once.
    Thanks.
    No WiFi issues,
    No glitchy screen,
    Can I find my power cord before my computer dies,
    Maybe?
    I don't want to hear 'your muted'
  • But Why?!

    Y'all were cutting it close.
    (I can say that know because everyone's turned it in).
    But really? really?!
    You submit the day of the deadline.
    OF.
    You make me wait, open, in your tab

  • The Bonfire

    Night fast approaching.

    Sitting in chairs looking on at the mound of wood.

    An elegant bird rising destined to fall.

    Then a light.

    Small yet growing fast.

    Then in a second the bird catches.

  • Separation

    It's always the goodbyes that are hardest

    especially when you've gotten so close

    after years of distance

    it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them

  • Outsider

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
     

  • picking up the pieces

    sarcastic jabs and quippy lines

    I hope you know I usually don't mean it

    and I know my best is not enough

    but that's what being human is all about

    I don't have to worry about perfection

    I will overcome compulsions

  • The mirror

    I looked in the mirror

    And today

    Instead of focusing on my flaws

    On picking out everything I hate about my face

    Instead of being my own worst enemy and self-critic

    I looked

    Really looked

    At this girl
