"I will teach my daughter not to wear her skin like a drunken apology. I will tell her make a home out of your body, live in yourself, do not let people turn you into a regret, do not justify yourself. If you are a disaster it is not forever, if you are a disaster you are the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Do not deconstruct from the inside out, you belong here, you belong here, not because you are lovely, but because you are more than that"

Wilting:

October roared in
With a cold embrace
It burned inside of me
The leaves decayed
Earth sank to grief
I could feel the sound of death
Humming in my bones
.

Rooting and blooming:

March sashayed in
with a gentle breeze
These flowers
of my becoming
Blooming, blousy
Unrestrained
Bending in time
Towards the sun
.

Tell me how
you smell like light
I think you are the moon
how are you soft
And sturdy
I want to know how
your skin feels like home.

The way he wears my name
On his lips
In between kisses,
Staggered speech,
tender embraces
And especially when he's laughing.
The Noose May 2018
The iridescent sunset
over the green field of dreams
I can still smell the scent of dusk
Days last whisper
From violet, indigo to black.

The Noose May 2018
The sea shut back in all its gothic glory
1. The tremble left the bone
2. Neither quiet nor solitude. Some nameless absence of sound that taunts and peace congeals at the feet. Bright white
3. There is a palpable silence in my faculties
4. See those trees turning gold in the hills
5. Let us forget in generosity those who cannot love us
5. Take the side effects and say it's grace
7.  Sleep now, it was just a glitch in the matrix.
8. And the day will come when you'll be unperturbed by that which, drowned you.
Some outbursts.

Ferocious and dispersed

The vultures glide

In the stratosphere

Devouring what was god.
