  • Snow Man

    abominable snowman bombastically claims
    that the edible edibles are elastic again
    and tho try as we might he brashly blazoned
    that the edible edibles are bombastic lagoons.
    your bonkers we bosted and ate the sweet treat
  • Emit Time

    Usually its the date that inspires me.
    The month.
    The stop watch.
    That is what inspires me.
    Time.
    It slips through my red cracked hands
    and pases through my body like sunlight in the webs of your fingers.
  • Moonlight state

    I'm convinced that I'm nocturnal,
    My cousin is the bat.
    Although I don't hang upside down,
    I should start doing that.

    Awake all hours of the night
    And sleeping with the sun,
    I'm related to an owl,
  • One longitude Ago

    Ew.
    I'm older again.
    Older-ish.
    And unlike past years
    This one seems different.
    I should be wiser, better, stronger.
    I should know more, do more, be more, understand more
    And I don't.

  • I cried

    I cried.

    I looked at the photos,

    The Polaroids,

    And I cried

    And cried

    And cried.

    I couldn't feel anything.

    My heart was bleeding

    And I couldn't feel it.

    I cried

    Emotionless

  • 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
