Make a wish ✨

We are louder than everything.

the hot sun
taken into the sea
by the river

I want to see you
and feel you
so intensely
the words bleed
from my eyes

3:30am is a war zone

I wonder
how you are
it has been
so long
since I heard
a word
from you
and I do
not know
whether you are
alive or dead
but I know
you still live
in my head

When extreme events happen that demand a response the real strangeness of people you thought you knew comes out.

show me your mysteries
the unknown and unknowable
hiding in the quiet places

I’d like to be your garden and grow and grow in you

I’ve got nothing left in me to break

not to brag but i survived you

I love the impossible
with every breath
of my being

you live
by the beat
of your heart
and you die a little
with every breath

when you speak
the wind
loses its breath

please notice me and leave me alone

feel free to show someone you know

we will never be
what we could have been

In the forest

there is darkness in the leaves

some birds wait
in the highest branches

others spiral
into the greater darkness
of the night

My friend takes my hand
and we walk forward toward
where the greatest darkness waits.

How do we live?

We live in small steps
and we live in big steps

We live slowly
and we live quickly

We live alone
and we live together

We live in the sun
and we live in the rain

We live hungry
and we satisfied

We live
and then we don't

You know this
as well as I

I am full
of broken dreams
and fragile things
making me feel
all the unseen
tragedies
flowing through
her eyes

some feelings run deep inside us
like underground rivers
flowing through hidden caves
and suddenly they emerge
larger than ever before

I do not feel
bad
or good
today
if you ask
I will say
okay
because
I do not know
what that means
mostly I feel
nothing
not hate
or love
not a cry
or a scream
no laughter
or beaming
not somewhere
in between
it seems
I have lost
all feeling
in me

I hope we make it through this

Moonlight

Broken to pieces
by a winter storm
new moon in the sky
