Poet Introduction
Just because I write poetry doesn’t mean I’m a poet. I’m a poet because I believe I’m a poet. Say it louder for the people in the back!
Cringe
I’d like to think I’m a creep
A cringy crawly dismal thing,
Blackened fury— a delightful phase
Disorderly and often destructive
In all the ways
That tries too hard to hide
Like a spider roving in and out about walls
I need you to know my morals:
Body prone and very
Near the ground.

Wild Roses
Single bloomers deeply rooted in
Unique,
But not year round unlike,
Newly lovers kissing fingers
After love’s freshly minted prick
Red brushwork burns my feet
As I run,
Tilling the blood soil
Where my soul awaits for you
Limiting the range that our
Common compass can’t resist
As in your wanton whisper’s need to
Insist,
On resting profoundly pressed up
Against my rousing breath
Forever lip lingering
In the wild rose bed.

Against my rousing breath
Forever lip lingering

Soft and Slow
Even when I’m alone
I’m not alone
If it’s not kids
It’s animals
I’ve politely pushed this black
patchy white kitten away
Ten thousand times
Excuse me she’s
nicely napping in my lab
And that’s not all
I have to pee
I guess she was lonely
And I can’t sit still.

Dopamine
I’d blame it on this Bluemoon
Wondering if I’ll finish this poem
Running out of time…
A concept I can drink around.

Opening My Window
Pocket doors have meaning, not as much as windows…
Windows are the home of the soul,
Pocket doors;
They’re just secrets
The change or shift in attitude,
A passage of drag access
I’ll keep that in mind
When I’m beaming
From last night’s
Window light boom.

Capable of Being Molded
Getting out of the shower
My mirror
It’s not giving
Not even minutely
A loyal pattern of imitation
Just an idea of something else
In my head
I’ve been curated
Not by god
Oh gosh
I can count the cost
My imaginakle representation.

Row
The word row
I’m not even sure that’s the
correct spelling
It is.
It’s not the way you’d expect to
Pronounce it
I heard this word for the first time in
“A Little Princess” by Lucy
Everyone was awry
Go Lucy!
When they found out Sara was a princess, but Sara had been
A princess this whole time
In the beginning,
She was a princess,
She was a princess when her dad died and left her with nothing,
and she had to be beggar,
And she was a princess in the end
after all she endured
...

Notebooks
Notebooks have former meanings
In this time; a notebook to me is reels bound by the paper I paste
My delusional thoughts on
Stuck between a lonely little girl’s lonesomeness and her never-ending unearthed freedom
Notebooks to you mean keyboards and mouse that can’t come any
Closer and screens that will never
Be brave, cry, or even sit with you while you die.

White Diamonds and Cigarette Smoke
White diamonds and cigarette smoke
Millions of minuscule pieces of you
Inspire that oh so familiar burnt,
Penny coppery smell you taste,
That’s how you know you’ve been alive
White diamonds and cigarette smoke
Mostly right before you left for work
And after you came home, delicate vapor
Traveling around, hanging out in our 1970
White Thunderbird’s giant ash tray
White diamonds and cigarette smoke
Are how I refuse to notice your fast fake, Walk-walking dressed tight—to a T
White pants stressin’, profesh, and crispy ...

HONEY IS FOR BEES, EXCEPT WHEN YOU'RE A DARLING PINK STRAWBERRY
The other night I was thinking that
If I could be anything in this world
I'd like to be transliterated by every
word, received by some molecular
action pursuant to my fingers,
Let me be reduced to all the colors,
an abundance from which to choose
I want to be rendered motionless exerted by the way your fingers make me feel
let me make you're fingers feel that;
Tiny tawdry individual caressers,
Swirly lightening fires in the clouds,
makin' you misspell all your colors
Remind me of my favorite color
Honeydew filled...

TRAIN WRECK
Hard times
Open me up
Newton's First Law-
Hard times equal
The external force
You've been looking for,
Change
Will torture you
Switch up your instruments
Reminisce in an open drawer
Fiddle with the findings
Faddle to find your needs
Get help if you want to
Don't worry I got you
Get lost
In the trees
Wrestle the russle
of the crisp leaves
Slowly
Feed on your senses
Thinking architecturally
Rearrange
Imagine your thoughts as buildings
Whole heartedly
...
