a letter to my mother
dear mom,
people have divorced parents. this is something else. it's been eleven years since the last time we saw each other, and almost ten years since we last spoke on the phone. i was 7 years old then. i'm turning 18 in june. i'm on the honor roll and the student council. i got accepted into every college i applied to, mom! i'm going to be a clinical psychologist. i got a good scholarship too, despite missing about a third of my freshman year. i won't tell you why that is. my gpa took a pretty hard hit and i'll leave it at that. i work really hard in school, i think that's the...

Taint
There was a valley where all the good names emerged a tongue could produce
Where the sun shone keener, where the moon glowed serener
Artlessness of the absolute reigned supreme, offering not a chance to deuce
That was a valley, where the wind blew puckishly, days passed ever merrier
Multitude of creatures roamed the mirthful haven, critters and crawlers alike
Abundant was the sustenance, absent was the neediness
Aliments unknown to remainders grew on trees, each yielded a ton belike
Such was the valley, only in tales were famine and uneasiness
...

Thee Invisible Heart
Deep in the basement, where science meets the street, Frankie Rocco and Sol, cookin' up something neat. Using Sol's genius, with glasses all misted, They craft a light-bendin' suit, mission enlisted.
Down the dusty stairway, Frankie hurries down, Checkin' on his friend's work, the coolest in town. Sol, the autistic genius, ginger afro like a microphone, Smiles big, glasses misted, saying, "It's done, yow."
On gritty Swansea streets, Eliza Cox locks the doors up tight, Social worker for Frankie, dealing with his plight. Lost his daughter Izzy to adoption, a pain...

norovirus and other falsifications
I said it was the stomach flu.
I lied.
Because I can’t
with
people today,
and I can’t
with me today,
and today
I can’t, I can’t
I can’tcan’tcan’tncannnt
A loud sob-cry escapes me,
it's an ugly sound
my voice is hoarse and wet
the pile of tissues,
little parachutes of snot and regret,
both worth about the same
when it comes to it
stares at me from the floor
as I’m curled on top of the
quilted comforter
crying into a teal...
I lied.
Because I can’t
with
people today,
and I can’t
with me today,

both worth about the same

Why are traumas so hard to expel?
Its very easy to be consumed with an unforgiving energy, it is like a rare fruit, one that you know you're allergic to but instead you keep thinking how sweet it is going down into your stomach. But, whenever it's there it stays there, you start gaining weight that won't move until it's all cried out. Fighting hurt with hurt never amounts to anything substantial because 50% of nothing is still nothing.
I've been carrying around this hurt from the first year of this marriage and I keep searching for a reason to believe or trust his “I love you”. 2019 was the worst year in all my 31...

Do You Think of Me
I remember me and you standing outside of your room in the silence of the night
It was warm but I was cool so I held onto you as we mapped out the sky
And now I’m standing here remembering how you disappeared and I can’t help but wonder
When you look up at the North Star, do you think of me?
When you're driving in your car, do you think of me?
When you hear all of the songs that we used to sing along to when we were together
Does it make you see all those memories?
I remember every drive we were riding side by side as we worked out...
It was warm but I was cool so I held onto you as we mapped out the sky
And now I’m standing here remembering how you disappeared and I can’t help but wonder
When you look up at the North Star, do you think of me?
When you're driving in your car, do you think of me?
When you hear all of the songs that we used to sing along to when we were together
Does it make you see all those memories?
I remember every drive we were riding side by side as we worked out...

St George
A 4 hour drive doesn’t sound so bad
But we’re two young kids who can’t afford the gas
And I try to write you letters but I don’t know what to say
Just circling, hoping you’ll come up through the page
Maybe I wish we had more photographs
Like of when we chased the rain at your mom & dad’s
Or of the morning light in your tired eyes
When you lean down to kiss me in the early thrift store lines
When I drive, I drown in the pink streaked skies
But it feels unsaturated and I ask myself why
I’ve got the smell of cigarettes...
But we’re two young kids who can’t afford the gas
And I try to write you letters but I don’t know what to say
Just circling, hoping you’ll come up through the page
Maybe I wish we had more photographs
Like of when we chased the rain at your mom & dad’s
Or of the morning light in your tired eyes
When you lean down to kiss me in the early thrift store lines
When I drive, I drown in the pink streaked skies
But it feels unsaturated and I ask myself why
I’ve got the smell of cigarettes...

Hopscotch Lines
A long haired girl
with a light blue dress
jumps across hopscotch'd lines.
Every bound blinds me
as I lose her, in the sky
Then, clouds ground her
Grey turns the day
As upon the tin roof
begin the taps
of the drumming rain
With that steady beat
we dance upon the concrete porch
With seven colors of chalk
strewn across its slate.
I marvel, at how
little girls build their worlds
in primarily bright shades
Seven sides then, to this day
Born into a rainy life
As...
with a light blue dress
jumps across hopscotch'd lines.
Every bound blinds me
as I lose her, in the sky
Then, clouds ground her
Grey turns the day
As upon the tin roof
begin the taps
of the drumming rain
With that steady beat
we dance upon the concrete porch
With seven colors of chalk
strewn across its slate.
I marvel, at how
little girls build their worlds
in primarily bright shades
Seven sides then, to this day
Born into a rainy life
