life is an equation.
not a simple y = mx + b curve
rather one with countless variables
leading to one solution with each combination
think about it.
what I call variables, philosophers would call free will
and albeit a select number of variables are within our control
hundreds of others are not
if you find yourself stuck
with a conclusion you deem incorrect
or a development you know can't be the answer
always remember that your input controls the output
change the variables within your control

creases streak the mandarin squares
cool crisp paper that reminds me of
the way
you fold your collars right out of the dryer
the way
you tuck loose strands behind my left ear when I'm not looking
"when will you stop folding origami, silly goose,
the window sills are full of these little birds you make."
your inquiry about my little ritual
makes me beam as I know in my heart
I will fold a crane
with the glimmery glory of each sunrise,
the light being as constant in my life
as your love
900 little cranes smile back at me

Had I known yesterday was the last time
That I’d ever speak to you
I would’ve put your arms around my waist
Pressed my face into your collarbone
Closer and closer
Until my alar cartilage bled
And your ulna snapped
A subtly violent fusion
That would still hurt less than you walking away

you wanna know something
if you gotta feel pain
go ahead and ******* feel it
sit with it
map it out like a small town
navigate down every street and alley
name the roads
pin the monuments
become the ******* mayor
let it rip through you
like wails and gusts of wind
or relentless waves pushing you out to sea
an unknown ocean
making a skilled sailor
as all emotions
pain is a colour in the palette
of human emotion
one that transforms us
remolds us
rebirths us
so ******* own it

days were built from hours and minutes
throughout these months
darling,
i crave you like a cactus yearns water
knowing only arid realities
of the wistful desert
what a beautiful trance you have been
flooding my monotone dreams
with a rainbow of colors
saturating my mind
would show you such kindness
if only you'd show up for it
a homage to the hydration
you made me feel
but this has been nothing but a mirage
and now I'm parched

wisps of smoke
coil from incense
been in anguish
since we last spoke
his amorphous presence
left me breathless
i gasp for air
i choke
yet your fragrance lingers

your eyes predetermine the forecast of my heart
and amidst prediction, they've stirred up a storm
my mind erupts from peaks to oceans
your breath being the momentum that fuels it endlessly
barefoot you walk
across the terrains of my thoughts
tread delicately love
your footsteps foreshadow movement of the sands
its odd weather you bring
but strangely i feel replenished

i like to close my eyes
and dream of carrying my
toffee eyed baby girl
through museums and exhibits
uncovering to her
eons of renaissance magnificence.
i imagine us holding hands
walking through botanical gardens
humming at birds
blooming with flowers
talking about the ecologic manifestations
of modern day society.
i want to take her to NASA
and make her mind expand
like the universe has for as long
as mankind lived
and realize some concepts are
so vast, so unfathomable
that the greatest beauty within us all
is the curiosity leading us
to try and understand.
i want her to know
that this life
has stretched on for centuries behind of her
and will continue for centuries ahead
but her arrival
in this era, at this time, in this moment
is the pivotal point around which
my universe turns.

its like a fire,
licking your raw skin
mapping its way across your body
kicking in the windows
leaving your home in flames
