If I was immortal
I have been alive for a couple thousand years.
I stopped counting the years when I was around six hundred years old.
I don’t know why I’m still alive. I still look the same as when I was ten.

The Hidden Door
Dinner tonight is turkey. And gravy. And also stuffing and cranberry sauce. But don’t worry- it’s not Thanksgiving. That was two weeks ago, and yet we still have practically the whole meal leftover. Mom makes WAY too much food every year.

Summer
the air tastes like honey and promise
sticky with the scent of blooming jasmine
and freshly cut grass that crunches beneath bare feet
the sky drips blue
stretching wider every afternoon

A Sort of Ode to Joy
I got home from work at nine o’clock and decided that I would go down, through the gate, across the creek–socks mushy all of a sudden in my Adidas sneakers–and into the meadow for a walk without stopping to see anyone.

living room record player
I'm six on the living room floor -
the pink album the pink album I chant -
dad puts the Supremes on the record player, the jacket handed to me -
pink, with three of the most beautiful women I've ever seen -

Sparkler
there is peace in the darkness, an
alluring sense of acceptance in failure
closed eyes & open eyes both see the same
but please
stick out your hand

Unfinished
They gather in shadow beyond the monuments,
no longer chiseled names, but men again,
haunted by what they see,
each bearing the weight of his vision now worn.
