A Witch Once Human
If you call me a witch,
Then you better not be afraid of the potions,
Turning human to inhuman,
Turning the shadows in your bedroom into the discernible shapes of the ones you love.
If you choose to call me witch,
Then you should be prepared to tangle
With the edges of the Shadow world,
Leaking forth into the comfortable realm of your ego.
If you call me a witch,
Then be prepared to find that it was you,
That turned human to inhuman.
Witch.
Then you better not be afraid of the potions,
Turning human to inhuman,
Turning the shadows in your bedroom into the discernible shapes of the ones you love.
If you choose to call me witch,
Then you should be prepared to tangle
With the edges of the Shadow world,
Leaking forth into the comfortable realm of your ego.
If you call me a witch,
Then be prepared to find that it was you,
That turned human to inhuman.
Witch.

I am Tired
1.
The first time I came to know beauty,
Reaching through thin crevices fingers swollen with blood.
Jumping high had proved to be too much
For this frail body.
Beauty came to me in the shape of a face held between the palms of my hands.
I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.
2.
I never thought that after all this fighting,
I would come to realize that
I wasn’t ready to go.
Wasn’t ready to part with the worldly things I called my own.
I fought so hard for perfection
And when the time came to
Be perfect
I found...

Listen to the Sea, my Love
I loved someone terribly in that moment.
I loved someone wholly in that moment.
I loved and loved and loved to love.
And now, it is time for me to go.
I hear the water calling,
It is time for me to go.
I loved someone wholly in that moment.
I loved and loved and loved to love.
And now, it is time for me to go.
I hear the water calling,
It is time for me to go.

Sitting and Staring at Your Picture, It Hurts
How could I understand, you?
Looking across an expanse of sea
I saw the outline of your face.
The outline of your body, but see,
I no longer know if my brain
Filled in what was not there.
Mirage in a desert, I clung to you.
Like a petal of a daisy stuck on a tree branch,
I clung to the idea of a world where there was no longer
A merciless sun. No more the ice of loneliness, avalanche
of childhood. We were children, I understand.
Children playing games of the gods.
We should have known better than to create ...
Looking across an expanse of sea
I saw the outline of your face.
The outline of your body, but see,
I no longer know if my brain
Filled in what was not there.
Mirage in a desert, I clung to you.
Like a petal of a daisy stuck on a tree branch,
I clung to the idea of a world where there was no longer
A merciless sun. No more the ice of loneliness, avalanche
of childhood. We were children, I understand.
Children playing games of the gods.

At Home With Only Myself
Home and “home”
Are two different things.
my heart screams at me
crawling behind indifferent legs
“Look at me,” she sobs, “it’s not
RIGHT”
no it isn’t
PUT IT BACK
i can’t
DO IT! IT HURTS!
darling, i know. But, let it pass.
Let it pass over you, look, the sunshine crawls through the windows towards you-
Let it in.
Are two different things.
my heart screams at me
crawling behind indifferent legs
“Look at me,” she sobs, “it’s not
RIGHT”
no it isn’t
PUT IT BACK
i can’t
DO IT! IT HURTS!
darling, i know. But, let it pass.
Let it pass over you, look, the sunshine crawls through the windows towards you-
Let it in.
