dancing around my kitchen

moments fade and dance
my sugar numbed brain 
spinning from thoughts that I shouldn't be thinking
and seconds colide 
while your beauty stops time
and my breathing fades to a halt
it's not your face
or your shape
or the way that you say my name
but your smile
and your kindness
and your jokes that make me feel ok
that make me love you to no stopping 
run until I'm hurting 
sing when life is lonely 
and dance around my kitchen 
it's the fact 
that you saw me as i am 
and said ok! 
instead of, 
what's wrong with you today?

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
