"Cut my shadow from me. / Free me from the torment... / Why was I born among mirrors? / The daylight revolves around me. / And the night herself repeats me / in all her constellations. / I want to live without my reflection." / / - Federico Lorca

And I tucked them quietly in my heart

The tears in your eyes were vows to me

And I tucked them quietly in my heart

And each time Like a fool I offer it up to you In trembling hands There was light in my eyes once.

I miss the way you loved me.

Fingers pluck them one-by-one My color stains your skin Crush them gently under heel My color stains your skin Flutter along windswept skies My color stains your skin.

Love like weapons ****

Ambivalence is a blade tearing tender flesh And heartbreak an ink that never runs dry I am a graveyard for your devotion

I will swallow the grief down Until my belly aches

Sink like precious stones

I will swallow the grief down Until my belly aches

The gravity of the earth shifts When I hear your voice And I am not alone I am not alone

You. Saved. Me.

The gravity of the earth shifts When I hear your voice And I am not alone I am not alone

It wears too large set heavy on my shoulders a child— i swam in It now— so familiar; old friend perhaps one day— It grows too small i will leave It for another to pick up along the way

A coat called grief

It wears too large set heavy on my shoulders a child— i swam in It now— so familiar; old friend perhaps one day— It grows too small i will leave It for another to pick up along the way

I will read of gentler places Dream of softer faces Until the vacuity inside is sated Do you reach for me in the dark?

Drag Me Under

I will read of gentler places Dream of softer faces Until the vacuity inside is sated Do you reach for me in the dark?
