    her voice sounded heavy to her, filled

    with the unnamed emotion

    everyone had told her to expect. except

    she hadn't. she'd rolled

    her eyes at the shiny pamphlets and blog posts

  • Dew-drop

    In a dew-drop a little world exists

    A place turned blue and silver by the light

    That lingers well beyond the morning mist.

    In a dew-drop a little world exists

  • Good Morning

    Good morning, sunlight like syrup

    Touching every dew-streaked blade

    Of grass and puddle of drying mud.

    Good morning, air that smells of spring,

    Air that sounds

  • for you

    if feelings are fluid then so is

    the way you run your hands through your hair halfway out of your braid

    your breath against my neck since you don't want others to hear

  • Longing

    It’s a ball of knotted string

    Stuck under my ribcage.

    Whenever I start to untangle it,

    I break a sweat & forget

    Why I even tried. 

Loves

  • velvet ease

    Kiss where ink and flesh align,

    carved to summon touch.

    Skip the space between my lips,

    spewing oaths of love.

    You feed me want— then starve me dry.

    A feast of glances,

  • when the wind remembers

    I am from mythic hues of orange and blues, 

    Where the setting sun greets the gentle waves.

    From solemn mornings and soft bed sheets,

    To boisterous cackles and tire swings,

    I am from the jostling of jewelry—

  • The Universe of Me

    My body is a universe
    My freckles are the stars
    The planet Venus is my lips
    My teeth, they come from Mars

    Mercury is in my brow
    The furrow that you see
    My thighs are Jupiter, you know
    In the galaxy of me

  • A Sestina

    Somewhere in the summer sun,

    Where dandelions dance and sing

    Along with the bluebird’s lonesome cry,

    Alone, you’ll find me, lying there

    Between the grass seed and maple leaves,
