Things have changed. Of course they have. Things change just as things fall apart. It’s inevitable or whatever. It’s skin turned to bone turned to dust on winds that change mountains into stone and stone into dust that settles to become more stones to protect bodies made of bone and skin. We change. We evolve.

When I think of June, I think of you. Those hot days on your back porch, you on a ladder painting the side of the house, me sitting on the stairs in my panties watching the sun turn you golden. I think of kissing those tiny circles, one after another, floating behind your ear and […]
Wounds can’t be covered. Scars tear at the sides of your mouth wrenching your lips into smiles, those plastic kinds that ooze fake joy. Wounds can’t be hidden. No matter your lengths to hide, the rot squirms under your skin, boiling your insides in panic and salt. Wounds can’t be erased. There is no disinfectant […]
I promised myself I would post every day in November but I’m tired so I forgot and now I’m lying in the dark typing this so I can at least keep one promise to myself since I’m so much more likely to break them but I have no words tonight because the day was so […]
The last leaves of fall shudder and float in snow-tipped air. I wonder if you feel it too. Do you hear the frigid breeze in your skin? Do you wake and wait for drifts in your drive to keep you from work, from the mundanity of Monday? Do you hold her under cozy white comforters […]
I’m crazy and I know it. I’ve always known it. You don’t have to gaslight me because I do it to myself every day. I try to remember what I said but the words vanish in my grasp, float away like a child’s balloon and I’m left crying and confused because I don’t know how […]
Rain clouds drift in slate skies threatening to drench us in its tears. The pine trees wave, falter, dance in the wind, their branches shaking free, dropping needles into the crisp fall air. The storm begins, thunder crashing, breaking the quiet, not knowing the rain has been falling from my liquid heart for years. ~Patience
You breathed me to life, lips leaving wisps of fire against my skin, and air filled my lungs in waves of wind, suffocating me in the heat of need, the insanity of desperation. And I wondered why it took so long to taste the way life felt when you were beside me filling me with […]
Heart torn in four pieces. Atriums and ventricles beating apart, distance seen through cracks held together by thread, tiny sinews clutching at the shards of a once beating muscle meant for all the love. Breaking, shattering when whole is needed instead of real. Four knives ripping my flesh, the blood which makes life, the possibility […]
Deviantart.com, DigiZCP My tears won’t recede from my eyes the way the sea leaves the shore. They pool in egg-shaped patches where my knees once begged you to stay. They fill empty cups of coffee-stained tables where you drew pictures of Christmas and held my hand to your heart while we slept. The tears won’t […]
