For the fuel pump that was replaceable
For the Pumas on my feet
For the lawn mower that started on the first try
For the little boy who gave me a thumbs up as I rode past on my moto
For the old man that told me cow manure was the secret to successful gardening
For the heat and the [...]

Maybe

Maybe it was the sunshine
Or a smile so overdue
But my heart feels big inside my chest
And alone doesn’t carry the finality it was holding
Over my head
This day is a dream I’d like to fall into
Again
And again
And again
Logistics aside
Odds uncalculated
Just a girl wearing a boy’s sweatshirt,
Over a ribcage encasing a heart,
That is giving and receiving,
Learning to [...]

This is me
A girl who doesn’t care about getting all the paint off of her fingers
Or all the sand off of her feet
Two hands on a steering wheel
Then two hands on my face
Sometimes life is better when you can’t see the way
You were the hard right turn it felt so natural to make
But now there [...]

Today is
Sore muscles
Birds playing chase
In falling snow
My mother’s chicken and baked potatoes
The peace of seeing two of my sisters happy
A banana nut scone from my favorite bakery
Sinking into a bathtub filled with gingerbread bubbles
The tips of my pigtails wet against my shoulders
A compliment just when I needed it
Sitting in front of a space heater reading [...]

There is no gray
There is white on your side
And black on mine
And when we touch
The color, or lack thereof
Stays perfectly
Intact
And you always wake up knowing that this distinction
Was for the best
And I am always in the
Dark
Things I Never Told You No. 3

I met a girl at a party that knew you
I mentioned your name and she asked me if you were still dating that girl everyone told her was so cute and nice
and fun
The one you were so in love with
Caught off guard, I looked at the floor and told her
No, not anymore

Passover

I don’t have anything new to write about
My lungs are still breathing
And I am still moving along a timeline colored by
Routine
Every night I pray
God,
Please watch over me
Give me safety
Because I am alone here
Keep my possessions secure
Because they make life easier on earth
(but don’t put them first)
Protect my heart
Because you know it better than I do
It [...]
