Here’s my letter to you. I hate you. I love you. I yearn for you. I can’t stop thinking about you. I draw your face on bread slices and squish them underneath my feet. I see you in the windows of cars passing by. I see you in the exhaustion of the wind that blows through crumpled newspapers. I hear you in the doorknob that won’t unstick. You are the chalk beneath my fingernails. You are the way my coffee swirls when it burns my tongue. You are everywhere. I can’t undo you.

Twisted Leaves
Here’s my letter to you. I hate you. I love you. I yearn for you. I can’t stop thinking about you. I draw your face on bread slices and squish them underneath my feet. I see you in the windows of cars passing by. I see you in the exhaustion of the wind that blows through crumpled newspapers. I hear you in the doorknob that won’t unstick. You are the chalk beneath my fingernails. You are the way my coffee swirls when it burns my tongue. You are everywhere. I can’t undo you.
