  • Slack line

    I walk a fine line.

    Life and death.

    Funny and weird.

    Smart and dumb. 

    Waiting for a light breeze to blow me one way.

    Will I stay on this line forever?

    When will I get off?

  • Cookie Cutter Girl

    I’ve always been a cookie cutter girl.

    pressed into shapes I never liked.

     

    Rolled and folded into the perfect form.

    My face and body configured

    to make me look appetizing.

     

  • 356 days.

    It had been

    8,544 hours,

    512,640 minutes,

    since March 11, 2025.

     

    It had been

    356 days of smiling,

  • She Was Me

    I had a funeral yesterday.

    A quick goodbye to

    the person closest to me.

    I can’t quite recall when she died.

    It has been so long

    since she was alive.

    Why have I held on to

    her lifeless body?

    Sick

    I'm sick

    nothing to do about it

    let me go home

    it can't be the end of the world if I'm not there for an afternoon, can it?

    I'm contagious

    everyone else would get whatever the heck I have

    you don't want this

    By the rat

    Be glad that I am still here

    you should love my prescence

    why wouldn't you?

     

    I protect your back

    that is, when you're looking

  • Poetry

    By Calico Frost

    Stalking

    I slink along the side of the wall

    my dark pelt blending in with the darkness

    the fog obscuring my features

    but my eyes remain.

    You can tell that I watch

    that I linger

    behind you.

    Back

    I am back

    the fuzzy bandit from before

    remember me?

    I took your lemonade

    next I'll take your socks

    those precious person-ornaments made of nice, soft cotton

    stolen right off of your feet

  • quiet

    you talk too loud

    too much

    i try to tell

    you

    to stop

    you dont listen

    overpowering

    drowning me

    with curiosity

    too loud

    overbearing

    asking too much

    i dont want to to
