World's worst detective
Hi, my name is Lucie. I know, a very popular name. Once I went to a school and there were five other students named Lucie. Three of them were in my class! So it was very confusing, I'm 5 by the way. And everyone says I get distracted easily.

Treat groaned, unable to get up.
“You know what that means, Bro. It’s Halloween!!!” -

18 days, 14 hours, and 53 minutes
I saw a photo of myself from freshman year
I didn’t love how I looked, cringed at it—a knee-jerk reaction to my ugly, green shoelaces—but not necessarily just because of my physical appearance

When You Are Old
When you are old
Your skin will become like paper,
And your bones will be like the wooden ribs
Of a lantern
So that the world will see the light in your chest.
But I don't need to wait -
Different at Night
Things sound different at midnight,
the dark is so much lighter,
the noises so much louder.
Every creak causes a jump.

A Hug of People
We didn't know the guy
in the truck
who's that guy?
my sister asked,
and I wondered if city people
expected to know everyone
they saw around town.

Love, Like Light, Like a Rose
Love
Is like light
Is like a rose
Growing from the darkened depths
Of a blackened bramble
Climbing through the soil

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
