Drive…
you used to
drive me everywhere,
and nowhere, for hours,
just so we could talk
about everything, and nothing,
for what felt like forever…
but then you drove this nowhere,
and you left nothing

the alchemy in poetry…
and when
i write this out,
this isn’t to remember you…
it’s to take it away
from you,
i’ll take all these feelings i felt
and i’ll make art,
i’ll make something beautiful,
i’ll make something new

evergreen…
may what you offer my heart
when we start
this dream
be evergreen
and expand
may no promise
rescind
with the wind
or time
may all you say is mine
be mine
…forever

we cannot
carry another
on their own way…
in soul searching,
we must all find
our own legs beneath us,
our own voice inside of us,
and our own
light to guide us.

he looks at him like he’s a beautiful wildness on fire…
she looks at him like he’s a beautiful wildness on fire…
like she’s a beautiful wildness on fire….
he looks at her the way she looks
at flowers… like she’s just this beautiful
wildness on fire.

A Good Thing…
i think it’s a good thing,
how we can struggle in such desperation
for clarity and still never find a way to make
any sense of how they treated us…
i think it means we’re just not capable of
that same cruelty within ourselves.
and i think that’s a really good thing.
