POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
May. Be.
Waves break upon any shore
not just ours.
At low tide
Throughout the night.
We said we'd go
Where it was
Where it was.
Too far removed
From what we meant
From where we've been.
I wish we were different.
I wish I had a malevonent intent
Maybe we'd last as we're meant.
not just ours.
At low tide
Throughout the night.
We said we'd go
Where it was
Where it was.
Too far removed
From what we meant
From where we've been.
I wish we were different.
I wish I had a malevonent intent
Maybe we'd last as we're meant.

You,
Aya,
Have messed me up
More than anyone.
Thank you
For the grief and stress
That I thought I needed.
Fuck you.
More than anyone.
Thank you.
Fuck you.

Normally
I'm not a jealous person
I'm going to be me
When I can
Where I can
But
How can I be like you?
Remember all those good times?
I wasn't there
I was working
Remember all those friends we had?
No.
All I have is family.
As grateful as I am for what I have
Some nights I wish I could be
Like you.

Hold fast
To feel my own self worth
Would be a feat among failures
To be in the here and now
Would distract me from my worries and woes
When will I be free
How can I be me
I find these questions lingering
Forgotten only to be found again with awe
Would be a feat among failures

Would distract me from my worries and woes
When will I be free
How can I be me

Forgotten only to be found again with awe

Trust
If I thought it through
I could make the right decision
The truth however
I don't even know what right is
Trust in yourself
As you would another
It will come
If not sooner, then later

Pink sunset, blue sky, white clouds
As a kid I knew
As I grew so did you
You kept it from me
I kept it too
Lately I don't care
Lately I don't fare
When I grow up
I just want to be happy
Whatever that is
As I grew so did you
You kept it from me
I kept it too
Lately I don't care
Lately I don't fare
When I grow up
I just want to be happy
Whatever that is

Three years later
Every night we were spending time
Together
It was about him
I would bring up my problems
To have them overshadowed
Chased out of the conversation
"What about me?"
Is what it feels like
Even today
I don't know how to relate
Only to listen and pretend
Like I know how you felt

Hey,
I've just now got up
Woke up
Why're you so ready to start this
Why're you so ready to defend this?
Its like I did something wrong in my sleep.
Like I did something wrong in my sleep.
Why are we here when all I need is my sleep.
Why are we here when all I need is my deep
Thoughts.
So important.
Where'd you keep them.
I've been wonderin'.

Hello?
I've been
Washed with
Half strength soap
The blueberry wands
The butterfly swords
Instill me
Kill me.
Thank you for coming through
Now I hope I can find your friends and
The rest of you
I'm the SeeD maker
I've
A sense of purpose in planting
Ten thousand seeds
It
Comes with
Delusional narcissism and
Lack of self awareness
I wonder who these voices are?
They wonder who I am
So intrusive
Be a ghost.
I almost wish I was.

Silver
My silver bracelet
Has tarnished since you've made it
Eagle
Eyes
Harping.
I soon will
Lovingly copy it
You
We
I
Am the last of my culture.
I hope not.

The Totem
The sound of my adze
Striking the pole
Is my drum beat
The chips falling to the ground
Are my rattles
My time is kept by leaf rustle
My singers are the birds in the trees
Above me
Inside me I hope my ancestors sing as well
I feel them at times
Watching me carve of wood
My first child
Striking the pole
Is my drum beat
The chips falling to the ground
Are my rattles
My time is kept by leaf rustle
My singers are the birds in the trees
Above me
Inside me I hope my ancestors sing as well
I feel them at times
Watching me carve of wood
My first child

I didn't tell them
I was Nate.
I was Hey-ahey
I'm so far North we're just
Tryin to survive
Make the next winter like
You don't know what them say
Would you even care if you knew them today.
I always tried to listen to my elders
Few and far between we too far south to mean
Anything important
Anything of relevance.
Anything that made sense.
I loved you well before this.
I will love you later.
