bones are lying patiently close to home
and me i’m crawling on my limbs of jelly
searching like a detective
doing archaeology
i’m rounding up suspects
who resemble old queens
friends, how can i even start to make amends
hearts get broken into smaller broken parts
new chapters are filed
old chapters are torn
on a frozen half island
while universes are born
i don’t know where i’m going
i don’t know where i’ve been
somewhere there's a part of me quarantined

Sun Pupil

(adapted from poem by L. Molnar)
when we were younger
your eyes were widened more
with joy
with curiosity
weary from all the light
in tiredness, and pain
you shut them, you squint
you fear you’ve seen all that can be
any good, in this world
you say
“only the worst now can be let in”
put your feelers out

Start The Act

end the scene
start the act
get up and have a lean
back to back
swap your clothes
do it fast
pointing your elbows
in the past
and breathe
one knee
makes history
take a bow
inwardly
go ahead, do it now

Stop Learning

"get your hopes up,
they will come crashing down"
"stick your head out,
the hammer will find a way"
all the lessons
are long and painful
put my pen down
i’m skipping after lunch today
don’t be stupid
be a delinquent
your date with cupid
will leave him without a bow
all the lessons
just leave you in the cold
like the difference
between freezing rain and melting snow
stop your learning

Walk Your Own Plank

spirits shake my ghost awake
they say “who are you?”
“who am i?” my stunned reply
“this head’s not built for two”
this ship is vast, my head’s the mast
deep breaths in my sails
no open flames, no second names
waves erase the trails
