Fingers

The hand intertwines its fingers around my mind, as I waste all my time, wondering about things that don’t exist, and all of the people I have never, ever kissed. Who may or might not come into my life. Unsure if I’ll ever again be a wife, or if I’ll just marry the wind, until … Continue reading →

A Collage of Shallow Tinder Fragments

How was your weekend? Mine was chill. Hey, how was your weekend? Mine was stellar. Looks like we stopped talking in May. It was a cold June. I’m trying to do like a non linear thing that ties loosely together in the end, but it’s not going well. And the poor London girls. Trails of … Continue reading →

Now

Find me in wind, in limbs of trees, the space between. I hear your every word, see every glance, and I’m glad we took the chance. Oh these arms so long with fingers like branches, graceful, and hands so smoothly dancing around your face. My hands cannot let go. I tried, and something said no. … Continue reading →

Waterfall

I’m drinking this sadness like wine. Why do you keep it flowing all the time? The surprise of this sadness in my eyes, right when I think it might be the brink of something brighter, a shimmering sunrise or a dewy drop of something lovely, and I then see it’s the edge of a waterfall, … Continue reading →

Eyes in darkness

There was always this place called home I could see in your eyes  The complexity  Never talked about it, But it hung heavy and drew us  Together because we both came  From the rain, came from the pain.

Carry

Birds come and lift her up, out of her pain. They carry her through clouds, swiftly through sun and rain. They won’t drop her because, they’re here to remind, that love is all around and always right behind. You can’t see it, and you may forget it’s there. When you feel lonely, and like the … Continue reading →

Heat in Winter

The heat was broken often, in that cold home, and that’s what you can grow to know. It’s so warm in here now, With no need for layers and no pale faces or furrowed brows rushing to seek shelter. I noticed because the heat was broken for months, years. That contrast which makes everything appear. … Continue reading →

Tucson

How did we acquire so much time to kill, late afternoon glare, as we wasted hours waiting for something to come, that never seemed to show its face. Mexican restaurants with murals painted on the walls with pick up trucks driving by through the dirty glass windows. Tortilla soup and our past was a faint … Continue reading →

Anymore

We were never the Same I was the sun And You were the rain We could never share The same space Every time I turned Around I lost your face In the crowd And in my heart Was a missing piece In the shape of you Why do you do this To me Why can’t … Continue reading →

Underneath

You’ve stayed with me, longer than I thought you would. I’m not used to having someone this close. In this small space we cannot hide from each other. I can hear every sound, every breath, every murmur or scream. Things became intimate because I saw places that are usually hidden, when you reached farther because … Continue reading →
