Writing

  • Everything

    I want to write about everything

    the steady rain

    the misery

    the end of school

    the upcoming event

    the natural world

    the current political universe of doom

    but I can't phrase it

  • Enough

    Constantly

    all the time

    I feel like crying

    I've just had enough

    enough of the girls accidentally hitting us with balls in P.E. class without them apologizing

    enough of depressing experiences and losses;

  • The deal

    You had my back.

    I had yours.

    Because that was the deal.

    That was our deal.

    No negotiating.

    No way around it.

    That's what it is.

    I email you when I shouldn't.

  • Sequim

    The bus to the Bellingham Amtrak Train Station was long and grueling; nothing short of a suffocation chamber for its passengers that day. Crowded, overlapping voices.

  • Thoughts

    I lie awake in bed

    With my thoughts -

    No AC and it's hot and humid.

    I open a window.

    It doesn't help.

    I can feel the ghost of you in my every movement.

    The blankets you snuggled into,

    Just last night.
