the brightest white is a thin layer
of clouds spread across the sky
thick enough to warp the sunlight behind
all that has shape and color
diffused

climbing a mountain and coming back down
picking up pace after a long break
dancing and running out of breath
waiting for eyes to adjust to the darkness
getting blinded by the light
a sore throat after yelling
bruised skin after impact
sweating in heat
shivering in cold
a hot burning fever
swelling flesh
a dizzy spell
and a healing process

seaweed stones and sand
layer on layer over old clothes
made me so heavy deep at sea
in a state of survival
i hibernated in frozen waters
till tide took my body to hot waters
i had to rub skin raw
to grow light enough to breach surface
naked once more
i stand back on the island of my own

insatiable child
you are akin to a black hole
only seen when consuming
you’ve thrown yourself
to the wilds just to prove
you can beat back the wolves again
you’d open the door
to a plane in flight
just to feel the wind
on your burning flesh
you’ve gone so far
that you have to yell
to be known

knowing a place
tastes like vibrato on my teeth
the cafe au chocolate tastes like milk today
eyes closed, I can guess it’s maker
sometimes i sit in my car
let the cold seep in
because it doesn’t matter where i am
what is the difference between content and malcontent

I drove slow through a ****** of crows and knew something was calling me to a place abandoned
If the wind hadn't bit so hard I think I might have pulled over and walked to the weathered down guts of a barn by roadside

i tapped a curled up tiny white spider
off from my money tree
how nice it must have been

i'm more of an optimist now
than i was as a child
i've seen past my own walls
and have decided i will walk
as far and for as long as i want

how to i remove the topper
stomped on top of my head
why do i see through
lime stained goggles
no amount of elbow grease
unscrews the top
nor clears the glass
when were these
peanut butter walls built
the thoughts like gnats and flies
pile in layers to the wall
clear away one and
another grows grotesque
like an apartment
paired with depression
all i want is a clean slate
to build a new

I whisper to myself
no, I write to myself
cause the clack of keys
is a sound unreadable...
"let me be ugly"
