Sun drips
on leaves

not the backyard variety
but the trembling kind

the kind
that weld night-time
intermissions to
the roof of the mouth

sonnet-filled
evaporation
reveals
the timely concealment of
a very, weary
inanimate object
at the brink

just enough hip
to be woman

just enough wild
to be frontier

Search your soul
look inside it's eyes
once
young
now old
.
There
stands
a
mirror
barefoot in the past
trace
its steps
pick up the shards

mend the cracks

and
shield
the scars

from future wrath
.
Now
open your heart
share this
wisdom
and
make them stars

[I believe that children are our future]
The girl I’m meant to be
Will be thanking me
For writing all this poetry
Two contradictions
meet intertwined
Are they or aren’t they
YES, the reply

The black hole of reason
dark matter of mind
Imploding explosions
— together in kind

You took away parts of me that I will never get back
And I'm working ******* being okay with that.

I think
the world
needs
more
of us
than we
can offer

(inspired by Malia’s poem ‘crack the code’)

the unspoken poems
are the loudest
the ones you don’t utter
the times you don’t bother
symphonies of silence
votes of no confidence
trust marbled with rust
what's become of us?
