of water
and now
her lips
are wet

the sight of a one year old baby
attempting to eat a sandy shell
on the shore of north carolina
makes me wonder
if i ever did something like that
when i was that young

plot twist

i remember, of course not
because i was born at 56

stop

and listen
to the sound
of your breath

one day,
you won't hear it
anymore

practice makes perfect

what's the point of writing
if no one reads it?

well,
what's the point in cooking
if no one eats it?

you might say
there is none,

but i ask you to reconsider
and remember that
practice makes perfect

"what have you been up to?"

"listening to the same seven songs on repeat for twelve years"

kiss me

two voices
one softly says,
"kiss me"

the other,
in a sweet, gentle manner
states

"i'd rather die"
