  • For old times' sake

    I don't know you. 

    I knew your laugh and the way your eyes crinkled,

    I knew that you loved chocolate and hated shrimp, 

    I knew everything about you,

    But I don't know you.

    Not anymore. 

     

  • Today

    Today I've walked around school in a haze

    I don't know what to do 

    How to feel 

    I don't understand

    How he won again

    I don't think I want to understand

  • Halloween

    I miss Halloween

    Not because it changed

    But I did

    I miss going with my parents and my brother

    And stuffing my face with candy

    I miss meticulously planning out a costume

  • The Season of Death

    Death reaches his hands

    Shrivels leaves

    Rips them up

    Soon the ghosts and ghouls will scream

    They've waited all year for Halloween

     But this death is not a scary thought

    In fact it's comforting

  • Take a Moment

    To you

    you who lives among our rainbow hills--

    green one moment

    orange the next

    and always blue in the distance--

    you who lives along a river

    you who lives looking into sunsets

    you and you

  • Playlist

    A ton of songs -

    Over fifty -

    I love them all,

    But fade so quickly.

    My interest dies

    By the tenth repetition,

    And so I move on

    To a cooler mission.

    This beat, this soundtrack

    On a loop.

  • We Grew Trees from Our Bones

    At dusk, the city climbs into trees. Streetlights fold into branches; apartments blink like nesting owls. Commuters dangle from vines in tailored suits, sipping moonlight through trembling leaves. You knock on my bark-body, and I let you in.

  • Summer Lemonade

    It's 9 o'clock on a Saturday- 9:00 AM, that is, when Mom made lemonade for the annual summer party at our house. Fresh-squeezed lemonade. It is sitting in a cooler on the small table in the tiny house in our backyard. 

  • Home Is The Place

    It's been two years

    Since I moved here

    One year

    Since I called it my home

    Home is the place

    With more dirt roads

    Than paved

    And the dirt roads

    Carry the name

    Of your friend's grandfather

  • P.E.

    Today

    We had P.E.

    I do not mind P.E. -

    I do not care -

    I can play sports like any teenager

    If not a little better.

    There would have been no problem

    Except

    You had to create one, didn't you?
