It's the contrast I remember best.
The macabre and the serene.
Deep in grief for days and we never picked up the balloons.
The room was full of pinks and purples and a light tap tap tapping whenever we walked through.
Surreal, isn't it?
How life teases you?

So tired
And it feels hard as a fist,
My womb.
So eager to hold life
That it rends itself open
Under each full moon.
Pleading.
I'll be more delicate,
next time.

Tangled up and drunk on sleeping in.
You say it's like a drug,
the morning light
dancing on my skin.

Beauty seeps into life
at the seams.
Rip at them.
Rend them open.

Ode to my cat (who is now 10)
Frisco:
Knower of shadows,
Born for the night.
Scratcher of itches,
A witch's delight.
Thoughtful companion,
Eyes bursting of spring.
I'll be forever grateful,
that you've shared this life with me.

His voice rises and I can feel
My heart turn into a rabbit.
No sudden moves.
His fist hits the table and my heart jump jump jumps
into far off tall grasses.
Stay still, little bunny.
You can become invisible
until the fox moves on.

My anxiety is a bird on my shoulder.
The shadow of a bird, really.
Becuase it can't sit still.
Its agitation blurs the very lines that try to define it.
A black cloud.
A pencil smudged across the paper.
I never look at it directly.
But maybe I should.

The last hug
you will get from someone you love
comes without warning.
It's a hug goodbye before
the trip that takes their life.
Or a casual embrace
some weeks before
your father's arms fall prey
to ALS.
What a gift it would be to know ahead of time.
You could squeeze that much harder.

Maybe if I picture it
over and over and
over again,
It will come true.
Bending reality to my will.
What is reality anyway?
But a story we tell ourselves
over and over and
over again.

I was real. I was there.
We had burned ourselves through at the center.
Our eyes slid by each other,
Lived in limbo
Up, down, up and down again.
No one deviates from our rotaing
Piece of planet.
Only I hear the actual crumbling
Down of real life.

Nothing ever changes.

It's easy to forget
The person I was
or am
or will be.
I get lost in the details
seperating you from me.
Unable to keep track of my own cells
as they change.
My god, this life is so strange.

The wind slips beneath the orchard’s skin,
and all at once, the apples shudder-
a red so tender it spills itself,
aching toward the blade of a tongue.

I don’t think it’s fair
that you nestled in and forgot to try.
I don’t think its fair
that you never let me read a single thing you write.
I don’t think it’s fair
that you let me give you so much of myself only to tuck me away in some drawer in the dark,
and I always let you shine.

We thumb a catalog of coffins,
A memorial starts in the next room.
Mom wants cedar.
"Celebrate good times" comes bouncing
through the gloom.
Someone else suggest cardboard.
"We gonna celebrate" says the wall.
"He deserves better" says my mom.
