From Poetry Class...

We had to write a poem about an animal

in poetry class the other day,

And I didn't know what topic to choose,

so of course I wrote about you:

 

A bee flies in front

of my window,

Beating its wings against the glass,

Willing it to break like my heart.

 

It reminds me of you, even just

for a split second,

for a year it's been since

Cupid stabbed that arrow in my back. 

 

Bees are a funny sort of creature,

The kind I'd run from like it was us,

You used to laugh with every buzz

that sent me flying. 

 

Fly, fly, fly away

Bee—away from me.

    I’ve always wondered

    What it’s like to be myself

    Openly and honest

    And not hiding behind bookshelves

    Waiting for someone to see

    And let me into their heart.

    My neighbor is doing Duolingo across the street,

    He’s in his sixties learning a new language

    And I’m just eating leftovers, watching him,

    Wondering if he’s practicing French for his husband.
     

  • See you, brother

    I don't think you're a waste of space,

    I'll give you my room and my pillow

    As long as you make the bed afterwards,

    And close the windows to keep the rain out. 

     

    I don't think your not enough,
