"raddest" poems
inside my chest is a coalmine. you have the raddest eyes I’ve ever seen & you hair smells like rain. I want to call you on the telephone & tell you a secret about your freckles. I wanna call you shakedown. I wanna call you shotgun. do you want to make a movie? I got this camera, see, & a backyard like forever, & when it snows it’s like the whole world is one giant pickup line. my body in a wooden box & you just like holes for breathing. if I’m lying my neck is a bird. free. the truth is skin & skin. your red and grey beanies. a stick of dynamite between my teeth.

we lived that October sunset.
shifting our mindsets
and pressing the reset,
you are the hug and kiss I'll never forget.
as free as the breeze,
a love that could cross seven seas
when you’re with me
it will flow purely with ease.
crunching the leaves
and picking apples off of the trees
what our mind perceives,
is truly guaranteed.
we walked up the road
along the yellow line,
here,
I know that everything will be just fine.
this story-line is no crime,
it’ll be clear in a dime.
but for now,
I love you,
the raddest dad of all time.

we exist together
on some alternate continuum of
the physical world, a secret
corner of consciousness,
chances reality & the universe
would never grant us.
(somewhere in this mad world, i am
yours)
forget age & years & impossibility.
i knew
from the moment i memorized you. you & your
brittle ribs &
soft lips &
geisha feet. you
infinities of beautiful & eyes
Lake Michigan, sparkling waters hold
indefinite light.
(i love you, but
your bones show through)
you pretty lost girl,
the raddest human i’ve ever seen.
be my porcelain dolltoy &
i’ll kiss your every waking limb.
you were the only one
who thought to ask & i could have
cried, because you knew. you knew, & it was
all right. because you were
the first,
you were
the only
& forgive me for my
bright eyes
feverish
on you.

Soft
but still my loft.
You aren't rough
and tough
inherently-
but you can be.
Not for me only, you care
but for four you despair.
In this tournament of juggling
no one knew you were struggling.
How can you be so gentle
when the world treats you like a rental?
This makes me cry.
A heart so grand must never die.
I had a glimpse of uphill
shattered by your will.
I only knew something was wrong
'cause your stubble was a little long.
I peeked 'round the corner.
You didn't notice me- your daughter.
Your face was taught with wretched thoughts
but relaxed into love when I got caught.
You were trapped in your minds corner
where -no longer- it was a little warmer
The clouds looked like they hadn't been washed in a while.
But you still smiled.
When you say you admire another
for their unique kind of thunder-
I try to unblind you-
see: Only you can turn the sky cove blue
after a hurricane Sandy
makes my life feel unhandy.
You never ask if I Love you
cuz' you know I simply do.
I finally know why you're so rad-
cuz' you're sent from above, Dad.
