no one knows the bird that flys me
no one knows my heart was a stone
no one knows the fear I softly moan
but I do. I do.
I wake today & collect my crayons
I walk today & color outside lines
I color until I weep out the death
in #remembrance of you
& bird flys flys flys

I don’t have the #constitution
for a world of war and hate
starving children’s eyes
climate crisis fate
children killed at schools
families at parade
shot on Halloween
for God’s sake
I have fallen
with this fallen world
fallen love
fallen, fallen
such a waste

I don’t belong here
my footsteps
are so much smaller
than yours
I am a minnow
beside a whale’s body
I cast no #shadow
and there is no echo
to my voice

let me dwell in the rapture of your hair
until I become only the madness of you
let me join you at the well that feeds our thirst
as I drink in the crescendo of our rising
then we’ll lie upon the dew of morning grass
while my hands still tingle from the breath of you

come lie with me in the tall grass
and we’ll make music from wildflowers
surrender to the warm earth
relax, the mountains will be our sentinel
our soft kisses will make shooting stars
and even our whispers will echo amongst the gods
that forever, forever, I am yours and you are mine
and we’ll make music from wildflowers

relax, the mountains will be our sentinel
our soft kisses will make shooting stars
and even our whispers will echo amongst the gods

Sometimes I am myself
Mostly I am
my accuser
& judge
I am outside myself
[but trapped]
my body / my dreams
I am my longings
& fantasias—
my masturbatory reveries
I am my own revenge
I am not
my own
I am:
the regret I eat each night
the poison
pride
I’ll never swallow

please can you cover me
don’t know who I am

you live
in your black and white world
judging everything
colorful and happy
I carry a rose

you walk through life
as if buried alive
singing a tune of despair
I wish
I could help you
but you’re too lost in yourself
and immune
to the love
all around you

dad, you didn’t exist for me
you were just photos,
the dust of history
but now as I end my destiny
I wonder about you who made me
there’s no one to fill the
#void that was you
I dream of meeting you
in an imaginary space
and I get
dry-mouthed, staged-fright shaking
over this curiosity

#snuggling close to despair
the night is cold and starless
I don’t have a white cane
to lead me through this darkness
why doesn’t life come with a map
some holy Braille
so I can feel my way
out of these destitute days,
a stick to fight my shadow self
and break away from this madness

I was not made in heaven
I live in darker spaces
