  • The Storm Inside

    Before the storm,

    I see the darkness,

    an ominous silhouette on the horizon.

    I feel the wind, making the trees sway from side to side,

    a gusty swoop of exhilaration.
     

  • Dream song

    An obsidian stallion gallops over hills of jade,
    crying sapphire tears.
    A lunar eclipse in a lavender sky
    Enchanted forest with wisps of mist 
    drifting inside a solarium
    Sparks ignite a flame that creates stars,
  • Lonely Pine

    In the shadow of winter, beneath its piles of fur, its green coat against the stark white of the season's bounty, lies the trunk which seems like only a memory hidden under the branches of the lonely pine.
     

  • By wildcat

    The language of Ice

    My skates glided
    over your smooth, cold surface –
    and as I moved through the still night air, I heard your voice, in a language I did not understand.
    It echoed and billowed,
    wailed and whispered,
    cracked and creaked.

  • The Art of the Unloved Child

    i will meet you on the soiled floor with splintered knees and pointless pinkie promises, bearing the gruesome girth of your loveless little lies / forever fighting to quench my thirst, but your roots will always remain sodden / they say

  • Writing Dreams

    If I could run away, I’d be gone. I’d clamber up the fence onto the roof and take off running. I’d bound up into the air and across the fields of puffy white clouds, bouncy and weightless. 

  • Catharsis

    If not for the moon

    that pulls the ocean tide up,

    revealing raw sand,

    then when would the sea

    be able to thrash waves

    when only at stillness?

    And the surface water sits,

    heavy on its floors

  • Know better

    I should know better

    Because you being gone 

    Will save me

    Even while you remain in my mind

    Sometime soon 

    My heart will forget you

    To make room for a girl

    A girl named Amelia
