On the Water
I will find you on the water
first thing in the morning
with the sky streaked red
I will find you on the water
because I could never find you on land
I will find you on the water
with all of the memories I wished I had
I will find you on the water
that’s where I will teach my daughter to look for you too
I will find you on the water
between the waves
and in the smell of salt in the air
I will find you on the water
tomorrow
today I will imagine your feet are still on land
first thing in the morning
with the sky streaked red
I will find you on the water
because I could never find you on land
I will find you on the water
with all of the memories I wished I had
I will find you on the water
that’s where I will teach my daughter to look for you too
I will find you on the water
between the waves
and in the smell of salt in the air
I will find you on the water
tomorrow
today I will imagine your feet are still on land

One-Sided Conversations with my Mother
Momma, can I come see you this weekend?”
“Momma, when are you picking me up?”
“Momma I love you.”
“Momma, who’s that?”
“Momma what do you mean you’re having a baby?”
“Momma why can’t I come with you?”
“Momma why do they get to live with you?”
“Mom why don’t you want me?”
“Mom I don’t feel good”
“Mom I love you.”
“I don’t know why the school is calling you, mom.”
“Mom I want to go home.”
“I hate you.”
“Its not my fault you’re never here.”
“I don’t know if he touched me. I can’t remember.”
“Mom don’t call...

Romance Novels Lie
love stories
romance novels
they lie
I wish someone
had told me
how much work
love really took
I wish someone
had told me
that there’s no such thing
as sparks
and soulmates
I wish someone
had told me
that everything before
would influence
everything after
I wish someone
had told me
that you never really know
if they mean it
if they’re the perfect one
love stories
romance novels
they lie
they tell you
of perfection
and...

Letters from a Trashy Mother #1
I never saw myself as a mother
I think of this often now that I am a mother
I find it difficult to reconcile who I am
with who I was
I know they are the same person
I do
It’s just
she was fearlessly naive
she was a free spirit, without ties, without responsibility
she was broken and a mess and beautifully flawed
she was married to her work
she was having an affair with the party
she
was
interesting
I am terrified
I am woefully flawed,
what once made me interesting
is...

looking for magic
I like to disappear
to hide
in books
looking for magic
it helps, sometimes
and hurts, mostly
this world feels so boring
comparatively
i want
to feel magick underneath my skin
to find it around every corner
I want the world to be infinitely more wonderous
than it is
there are no miracles here
just pain
and struggles
and suffering
just responsibilty
and demand
and need
just reality
I like to disappear
to hide
because I know
I can’t find what I’m searching for ...

Unfinished
I often feel like an unfinished painting
of which I have many
like someone started to create something beautiful
and intruiging
they laid the groundwork of heavy colors
blue, I imagine
and then they forgot to finish
or lost their motivation
as I so often do
I often feel like an unfinished story
of which I have many
like someone started to write somehing fantastical
and intriguing
they started off with the tragic backstory, as stories often do
with pain and heartache and loneliness
and then ran out of words ...
