What’s in My Journal

Dirty things, like a thrift shop.
Mean things, looks that defeat,
worries that devour. Redheads too. 
A genius for overthinking 
and disagreeing. Puzzle pieces from
different puzzles.Reasons to lock me up
or put me on stage. Sandcastles
washed away. Layers of
sawdust collecting over time.
Evenings that wait over the sea.
Boots pooled with water. Popsicle of a life.
The white and black of soccer balls. 
And things you know were there,
but disappeared.

    Sometimes I wonder if 

    In my spare time 

    If my life is one big pretty 

    Good dream
    But I don’t know
    Maybe all this time 

    We’ve been sleeping 
  • Hope

    Hope
    You hope you make it home at night. 
    You hope the plane lands, the car slows, and
    The guns hold fire.

    You hope your children are safe from the universe,

    I Am the blanket

     on top of dirty clothes 
    the lies that cover up 

    What is not to be shared
    The smile I put on to hide 

    My second life
