I am a dream
I walk in the billows
I dance in the exhalations
I swim in the clouds
...
As I watch
My family ravage their marriage
Screw up
My heritage
...
Shuffling through old letters and devotions
Buried muse screams for me to let her float
Painted on skin deliquesced in your ocean
Elephant in the room sits on my throat
...
Fists swung in the air
Dashing pink hopes
Bleeding red
Feathers from pillows
...
if you could see me right now
from wherever you are hiding
you would laugh
to see me at the freezer section
...
I was 9 days clean of you
I washed myself free of you
I burned your name away from my parting lips
I chopped you from my hair with brash clips
...
i am clumsy when i love
but did you know
im clumsy when i walk?
i have no filter when i talk?
...
Dearest friend-your death washes over me
Nineteen days after the unanswered call
I walk through shivering tree's scabby leaves
Chilled with loud whispers of an early fall
...
I am not smooth and fine
Like other girls
With floating steps
Bitten lips and perfect curls
...
