  • Young Love

    “Look at her,”

    There was a lovestruck girl obsessively drawing hearts on her note card 

    “look at past you.”

    Sincere love flowed from her fingertips.

    She believed she was loved.

    “Do you think she's dumb?”

  • my beautiful lantern

    bare feet carve paths into the snow


     

    a fleck of snow lands on my tongue, dissolving in its warmth 

    flavorless and sweet, the fading taste of candy 

    the salt of the warmth, the iron of red lakes

  • They are all the same

    You left dead flowers at my grave,

    as if they were all the same.

     

    Most leave bouquets,

    even though they will slowly die,

    just like me til I made it to the afterlife.
