Gossamer strands growing
fainter with breezes blown
by each new day passing
one by one, falling and
detaching and sending
me reeling away from
the things I thought I nee-
ded. Every day, one
after the next makes it
simpler and easier
to see me without it.
Ironic in some ways,
I guess that it would be
that I knew it coming
that sent it all running.
No really, […]

Bubbles swirling, steam curling up to a sky that holds stars somewhere behind the clouds. I feel fragmented, faceted, crashing apart to observe with detachment and make reassurances. Talk it out, put it back where it all came from. Put up on display, point out pieces with tags and descriptions, pegged to […]

Small pink packages of escape wrapped in plastic and maybe they wasted away. Small black stone wrapped in pink and suddenly theres smiling a reference to think. Small pink ribbons make loops that wrap up the fears of girls left to die. When small stains on pink become catastrophes, who’s left to […]

Phantoms play on shadows like the breath upon a sigh. Amidst the noise of evening life, a quiet tone that I still hum along with, sigh in spite of, press in front of, still deny it. Carefully avoiding, placing everything beside of. It meant something, it meant something. It didn’t go […]

Just numbers. Just strokes on a screen is all they are. They don’t say hello. They don’t shove their hands in their pockets and give that tentative sideways head motion. They don’t have deep, questioning eyes with which to connect. They don’t even comment. But they define a […]

I hide before mosaic eyes so shattered they don’t see me. I dance and sing in my own perceived wrongness and they only see themselves. I love you dear, you hear me? I love your broken heart. I could scream across your chasms and it would simply echo back forever. […]

I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. I will myself not to and I don’t and eventually it fades a little and I stop having to will myself not to and I just don’t. And then I miss it and I wonder why and so I peek and it all comes rushing back and […]

If I could take it all back. If I could say everything I never said. If I could say things that I would have never said. If I could undo everything that hurt. If I could redo everything that made me happy. If I could go back in time and […]
