Race to Christmas
Fly out of bed
Hit your head on the fan
Watch as it swings
Dress as fast as you can
Storm to your sister's room
Don't knock, lightly tread
Then bust through the hinges
And leap on her bed.
Shake up the bed -
Reversed
Not again.
Three cases in my tiny school.
From where, from who? Who knows?
And yet it's clear that for this year
That's the last I'll see those folks.
Did I look them in the eye
As I asked about their day? -

Where to begin in this almost passed year of 2020.
It wasn't fun, to put it simply.
It was kind of horrifying.
But- I mean- there had been some good parts.
Like the time when- um- Frozen II came out. -
12 Days of Zoom School
(inspired by the Twelve Days of Christmas song. Follow the same format when reading!)
On the first day of zoom school my teacher gave to me
An essay test in history.
On the second day of zoom school my teacher gave to me -
Black Fish Net Tights
Its been over a year.
An entire year since I met you and never saw you again.
And you've yet to leave my heart.

Dancing

The song

The rhythm
You know the rhythm, don't you?
Pulling you up
Pulling you to me

I know it's scary
Couldn't we let go and not care
Just for tonight?

Giddy
Giddy is the exhilaration
Thinking about you
Getting excited
For what, I don't know
Counting down the days until I can see you again
(Summer is hard)
Reading love stories
Listening to love songs

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

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.
