my oversized shirt
is my own little tent
it’s big enough for the both of us
but i won’t let you in
i’m not playing hide and seek
i’m just playing hide
so leave me be
in this tent of mine

markings by the moon

the moon marked me
and made me it’s preacher
come out, come out
look at the moon
it shines so bright
in the darkest night

the anger

you
of all people know
that true anger
can’t be explained

The Red Woman Oct 2019

your truth

you have spoken your truth
now listen to mine

i don't sleep enough

i don’t sleep enough
he wakes me up
in the middle of the night
wanting to discuss what happened
and what might happen
i don’t sleep enough
