Don't you know, my love?
Art is how we find ourselves.
And save each other.

Tits out in the kitchen
isn't where I thought I'd find myself
but there are worse ways to start over
than unbridled by convention
or the clothes of who you thought
you should be
I choose naked & nourished
in delightfully unexpected ways
over playing placeholder
waiting for life
to find me

There will be shadows.
You can't hold them. Let them fall.
Reach toward the light.

Moonlight paints walls
casts #shadows
empty promises
on old anchors
where love used to hang
patch over remnants of us in the
morning
tonight
the woman who believed in you
writes poem pleas to the stars
from the balcony
a eulogy
for who she was
& the man she loved
who doesn't exist

I used to call myself yours.
I felt safe there
in the shadow of your name.
Now it aches to see
how I shrank.
How you didn't care.
(Hindsight is a loving bitch--
always late
but never wrong.)

Hindsight is gratitude
for every kiss on your forehead
just because I could
for saying "I love you"
all the damn time
for no reason at all
never held my heart or truth back
behind tentative teeth
loved out loud
even when my voice shook
no shoulds on my shoulders
no regrets
just one last look

flood the stairs to memory
until the floorboards creak & sway
let the cobwebs in the attic take what wasn't
turn it all to shadows
wrapped in silk
like you made love into a lie
left me walking in your spiderwebs
unraveling the ghost of you
& washing salt stains off the walls

I asked for the sky
for a break on the horizon
uncluttered by condos & electric lights
that ache #yearn burn the night
obscure the stars
you give me space itself
pour sunshine through windows
until I brim over with matter & meaning
til the warmth on my skin reminds me
I'm made of #starlight

I could sleep here
all that's missing are the stars.
And you.
(Always the absence of you.)
Too many pieces of my heart live
beyond this plane.
The breeze whispers your names
in my ear like a song
anytime I am still enough to listen.
