all my favorite bars
remind me of old ship wreckage
blue bottled dry gin
courses through my Viking veins
I steer this helm with one aye

“intimidating”
me from the one place I love
unbelievable

I never dreamed of
being here, now
nor what is to come
there, then

13 Ways to Cringe
1.
We met under a glittering ball
at the drop of the song
I told him not to fall in love with me
2.
We were swallowed by the city
and when he craved me and wings and beer
I had to marry things like ketchup
3.
We tried again in Chinatown
the club with the ***** girl at the bar
who tried to dance her way into his lap
4.
Eventually I spent a night
but that stupid 9-5
it’s like we didnt even talk
5.
He wanted wings again
I snuck him beers
He was always a good tipper
6.
I remembered his address
a door so nondescript
I wound up forgetting again
7.
We talked on the fire escape
watching people is cool
because you get to skip yourself
8.
Matching robes one morning
we had to play divorce
while his roommate intruded
9.
There were four of us at night
two got married
two got lost
10.
When we dance in a group
half the time we spend losing it
half the time we spend finding it
11.
I try to sleep on his sailboat
but I gotta ***
and my beds down the street
12.
We play BINGO with his nieces
to want the babies to win
is an inky dabber to six cards
13.
His dad calls me his
His mom shows me new shoes
He is petting his dogs

we leave through the meat rack
but we’re all friends here
except so much more
we leave unspoken
and on the dock
no taxi light was on for us
so two hours, one sunset pass
and I’m dancing but we’re irritated
we leave it unspoken
we eat french fries
and when the chariot arrives
the fireworks start
the beautiful shimmers and
smileys in the sky
there’s no place I’d rather be
but you’re anxious to be home
with nieces and your nephew
so we leave it unspoken
and thats how we got
back to Lonelyville

give me all your nightmares
your twilight woes
gasps in the thick heat
of August’s night
swamp goblins’ prance
eerily sideways, smiling
sharp nails point to
an existing wasteland
meant to decay you
for eternity

Having a hard time in spring makes me think it is my least favorite season. My paleness frostbitten from eager pedal pushers and my hairs luster lacks gone away with the beanie I lived in. My face loves the sun, but it was too much too soon and the burn remains. Oh and death is spring because babies can’t care for themselves yet. The first buds of bland blooms, backdrop for later’s begonia. It is not exciting to see this life struggle out of sleep when the season of sadness spills over. Spring, she’s bipolar a bit. The warmth is hit or miss and she takes so long to get out of bed. Get out of the fog, get of out of the grey. She takes the moments you hold your breath the longest before plunging out of the horizon and runs her finger along the film as to slow it down because when you’re sad in Spring you feel as though winter is forever.

the parallels in who I was
and who I am today
sometimes become too close
when I lose my footing
after speaking up
the parts of my mind
meant to stay in folds
it must remain math
the parallels are destined
to a line of steady observation
the dominant stretch seeming larger
but it measures the same

I awoke with sweat
beading down every inch
of my body
my decolletage a lake
of processed loss
my grey shirt
cast limp and damp
in melting mountain peaks
I wrung it back where I felt
it belonged in the lake
further sinking my heart
to the bottom of this
fresh water body
a lost treasure
only I knew of

I’m so unhappy when I consume
more than I produce
do I delete everything in lieu
of creating or let everything
coexist and mind my own
**** business
none of my business
my thoughts have become
