A badger meets a snake,
in a field.
A laugh,
A confession,
A goodbye.
The wind blows all the same.

idk this was spur of the moment

you made me feel immortal
and in return
i broke your heart
perhaps it is not that simple
but isnt it?

the heart of a lion
resides in my chest.
the heart of a lamb,
within yours.
ironically,
they are identical.

this was in my drafts from april, i really like it.

The reminiscent mirror

Goodbye,
at long last.
You are not the girl i fell in love with.
A fascinating trick,
a banshee in disguise,
a charmer with scales.
you will not trick me anymore.
I will never let you.

we broke up on july 1st.

Cement Vases

I went to the library
and gathered flowers from its garden
to leave in the cement vases
of forgotten soldiers monuments
that they keep
in their front yard.
in that moment,
i felt alive.
it was raining.

it keeps raining.

peonies make me happy

Much Ado

I find myself tired
as in,
exhausted,
as in,
drained.
they will not talk to me,
I am unsure of what I have done.
I am tired of being this lonely all the time.

ugh

A girl I Used to Know

I find myself
Enamored, with your vestige.
Standing in front of me no longer,
Is a girl i once knew,
with who she was to me,
Erased,
As though nothing more than a sketch
Had graced my eyes.
Next time,
I will ground myself,
With marker.

The Magnolia Tree

There is a tree by my bus stop.
I do not know when it began flowering,
only that it is.
On each branch, there are delicate flowers, dousing the street in pink and white
magnolias.
she's coming up this summer, finally.
I wish I could show her.

I wish you could see it.

Someone I used to have a thing with online, but have never met in real life, is driving up this summer. I have a girlfriend whom I love, but I fear I no longer benefit from the relationship. long distance terrifies me. I have a lot to think about, and the flowering trees I encounter seem to know this and remind me to breathe.
