Copycat
when they say copying is the sincerest form of flattery,they mean art.

God save the Quee
I'm holding your frail body by its throat.
Ribs showing, spine poking from your back,
More skeleton than flesh,
You stare back at me. -
Limbo
it seems i have somehow lost my flair for poetry in the midst of college
the words bubble up and then fly away before i can write them down
i really do wish they would come back
after all, i’m having to hold in everything

I hope to love
I hope to love so thoroughly
So constantly
So deeply

Growing up
When I was six I longed to be twenty five
My mother had all these rules
All I wanted was to leave my home
To live on my own
To stay up late

It is a joyous day
amidst a burdened world.
We cluster around stand mixers like crows
to telephone wire, make holy messes
