Finally Free From A Family Who No Longer Loves Me
Angela woke up,
saw the sun rising over
the Los Angeles
city scape and made herself
let out a gigantic smile.

If You Want My Opinion
Look, Penelope. If you want my
opinion, I would say moving
yourself to the city of
Los Angeles is more
better than staying
here and letting
Dad give you
only
grief.

Come and See
I’m the dimly lit alley,
the grit born of the sidewalks and
asphalt, an uneasy feeling, a city breeze
that whispers something bad is going
to happen

the old city
the old
city needs
to be
reincorporated,
the skeleton
needs
new flesh,
opened eyes
out of
curiosity,
her lover's
life
breathed back
into her,
a crowd
of people
wandering
inside
of her,
debating,
discussing
how they
can continue
to keep
her alive
from
now on.

santorini
those towering
stone cliffs
hold you,
sentinel like
monuments
at santorini,
they are
unmovable
cliffs
since conceived,
their first
breaths,
unapologetic,
that same
stable gaze,
from
countless eyes,
the waters
around you,
safe,
satisfied
below you,
each wave
rising, falling,
resting on
your shore,
washing
your feet.
