  • November

    A day as grey as

    the clouds above it

    And the hills, which have changed from green to orange to purple to a deepest blue in the fading light

    with a few bursts of yellow from the beech trees, holding on in their marcescence

  • Safe space

    My virtual home

    where I can make my words dance and no one can change the choreography

    where I can be loved by other people like me

    where I can realize that I'm not as alone in the world as I originally thought

  • Charcoal

    Charcoal

    is our preferred method

    with which to sketch our days

    thick, dark swaths of pigment

    that smear and make their mark 

    unapologetically

    abstract, flowing, influential

  • Play Pretend

    You can't rule with an imaginary crown,

    we left the real ones on the shelf in Great Britain,

    hundreds of years ago.

     

    We left to be free,

    we the people would love to be free.

     

  • Am I doing this right?

    Am I doing this right? 
    Is there some rule book for college that my mom never made me read?

    Was it lost in translation because I was never popular? 
    Or maybe because my parents had stricter rules?
