  • Highways


    It’s a clear day. The sky is blue. The grass is green. And we are driving down the highway. The journey is marked by spastic bursts of conversation and a chunkily categorized landscape. I press my nose to the glass and point.
  • Wet Paper

    Our eyelids slowly fold,
    your fingernails creasing my skin
    as you tell me not to cry.

    Suppressed by geometry,
    there’s no room for imprecision
    in our origami sorrow.

    There will come a day,
    when wet and wrinkled,
  • Schrödinger's Cat

    The refrigerator has skin.
    It hums, cold through the cold night, singing to itself.
    There is an emptiness wound into our mechanisms. 
    In the dark, I poured myself a cup of orange juice. 
  • Cherry Tree, Blossoming

    Cherry tree, you flourish in so many fragile ways. 
    I shelter under your bare boughs, waiting for spring. 

    Time moves delicately, upward with splayed fingers. 
    We sit together, cold and open to loose clouds.
  • Hidden

    It’s a delicate thing, living, 
    waiting to notice the sun. 

    Twisted, like a autumn leaf, 
    I turned with your breath.

    Our fingers were tangled, 
    together, made to be one.
