Loves

  • Greek Tragedies

    oh Icarus, you poor thing.
    fell in love with the sun, the sky-
    paid the price, i suppose.

    why do we always pay the price for love?

    Orpheus, lonesome poet, 
    lost his love because he wanted to tell her they'd made it.

  • Gaea and Her Children

    As I sit in the grass a sense of magic overcomes me. The mother of all, Gaea, is here.

    I can’t see her, but I feel her presence everywhere. She is crying, sobbing, mourning her lost children, the trees, the birds, the bears, the flowers.

  • Vulnerable

    At school

    we're doing a poetry unit.

    "Oh cool, we write poetry all the time!"

    My friend says.

    What we didn't realize, though,

    was that the teacher turned on the tap

    to our inner selves

  • Technically...

    Technically, I’m an immigrant;  

    I wasn't born here. 

    Technically, I’m too young, 

    just shy of a year. 

     

    Technically, I’m inexperienced, 

    barely know the rudiments.
