Again
Again?
I’ll say it again
I will say it a million times over
I will say it till you believe it
I will say it till you fall asleep

We were rot
We were birdsong
We were giant redwood trees
We were bones bleached by desert sun
We were metaphors and similes
We were poems and poets
We were wildfire
We were ebbing in and out
We were waves in the blue atlantic -

And ivy league goals
And 4.0 GPAs

Beside you, I am not afraid
She says, I’m scared,

scared of how much

when I’m beside her. -

In the hearts we have learned to draw
beat our brilliance through persistence
and the way how even when we feel
as if our lungs have been shattered,
what was left of our love blown

My Friend, The Songbird
Singing, Singing, Singing.
Your voice fills my ears.
Smiling, Smiling, Smiling,
Your happiness fills my heart.
Laughing, Laughing, Laughing,
Your friendship fills my mind.

waiting for spring
twenty-five degrees out & the air is sweet
with just enough sun to make it taste like springtime,
& flowers, & the freshness of the world after it rains.
we dance without jackets & twirl in the fading light,
