POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Lots of things don’t make sense. I’m things :)
Sapphic Love
I wonder
If the feeling
Of going underwater
Silence
Peace
Vulnerability
Is what it would be like
To kiss you
If the feeling
Of going underwater
Silence
Peace
Vulnerability
Is what it would be like
To kiss you

Not Going To Throw Things
I am angry
And I don’t want to be like him
So
I’m just going stuff it
In the overflowing space in my shoulders
And I don’t want to be like him
So
I’m just going stuff it
In the overflowing space in my shoulders

Can You Feel The Love?
Why are you yelling?
There’s no reason to yell
You’re so loud
And angry
And sharp
Please stop yelling
You’re so loud and
I don’t like cowering at the top of the stairs
There’s no reason to yell
You’re so loud
And angry
And sharp
Please stop yelling
You’re so loud and
I don’t like cowering at the top of the stairs

How I hate to be alive
but God

Porcelain
How much I love
To dance around
The yeasty smelling kitchen
Bandana in hair
Flour on my cheeks
Smile lines
My singing imprinted in the dough
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Flowing around my body
Into my ears
Out my mouth
Crisp moss smells
And rose
Musk
From the candle flickering
I am so
Peaceful
To dance around
The yeasty smelling kitchen
Bandana in hair
Flour on my cheeks
Smile lines
My singing imprinted in the dough
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Flowing around my body
Into my ears
Out my mouth
Crisp moss smells
And rose
Musk
From the candle flickering
I am so
Peaceful

How To Love The Perceived Unlovable
sit in silence
laugh in loudness
hold each others hearts
listen to them beat
switch hearts
see what it is like
to live with a broken one
and a healed one
listen to the world
how different it sounds
with your newly refined senses
learn to love what holds you
learn to love what keeps you alive
give the hearts back
and learn to love
the unlovable
laugh in loudness
hold each others hearts
listen to them beat
switch hearts
see what it is like
to live with a broken one
and a healed one
listen to the world
how different it sounds
with your newly refined senses
learn to love what holds you
learn to love what keeps you alive
give the hearts back
and learn to love
the unlovable

Signs And Signals
go forward and turn to the right
leave no stones unturned
keep walking
go backwards and turn to the left
leave the stones where they are
stop walking
run back to the signs
take an unidentifiable path
and move cautiously forward
hear noises
take slight jumps back
slowly moving forward again
cross an empty road
run across
see roadkill
stop to mourn
look too late
get hit by a truck
hobbling forward
swim through a river
faster
slower
current taking you where...

As much as I love
Being alone
I want you to sit with me
In my stagnant sadness
Being alone
I want you to sit with me
In my stagnant sadness

Long Distance
I will always be here.
No matter how far away I seem.
You look across and see an ocean between us,
But I promise
It’s just a puddle.
Put on your rain boots.
We can take a hike
Look at the trees
No matter how far away I seem.
You look across and see an ocean between us,
But I promise
It’s just a puddle.
Put on your rain boots.
We can take a hike
Look at the trees

Dust Bowl
I’m scared
I am full of fear
I am full of guilt and shame
Full of anger
Sadness
I don’t know why
I feel so much
I am sorry
For being a tornado
I am good at silence
Sitting in it
...
I am full of fear
I am full of guilt and shame
Full of anger
Sadness
I don’t know why

Ask Me Why
I don’t know
Why my mind
Is hurting me
When nothing wrong has happened
I feel
Sad

Is hurting me
When nothing wrong has happened
I feel

I Am Afraid
As soon as people
Get close to me
Show me love
And I show it back
I can’t handle it
Can I leave?
Will you be angry?
I don’t think I deserve
Your love and support
And the laughs
That come out of your lips
You don’t deserve someone
Who doesn’t reply to texts
Until 3 days later
Because texting is not enough
But then it becomes too much
And suddenly
I have a best friend
And another dad
I feel guilty
I feel
Not worthy
...
