The world is my oyster, but I'm allergic to shellfish.

Why are we confident
In the sea of people
But drown
In the drops of intimacy

Poetry
to me
is taking
my pain
and making
it sing.

your eyes
            are
          so explosively
   captivating
                    i feel like i
   float in space
                 every time
      your blue
                    and
                          my green
               collide,
    creating a new earth.
