will the only time
I get rest — and peace — is when
I'm but grey ashes

what we see as change
when green summer leaves turn brown
is really just growth

W,

I kept thinking —
it'll be easier
if I get hit by a car

instead of going to work.

Love,

even my own eyes
deny me of my own tears
— what else can't I have

I can't tell him
he's beautiful
— because then
       he'll know
         why
           he's beautiful
             to me

hey kid, listen — don't
leave the womb, don't open your
eyes — they'll make you cry

peal my layers off
eat me up and spit me out
plant me — I'm a seed
