whatever, however, whenever comes of this-consider this show of sweets an attempt to pull the corners of your mouth up. higher than runaway balloons go. take this in, savor it completely as you would an old aged bottle of scotch. as you would a tall cold glass of your favorite drink. this, an honest feat to force a smile on your face, bigger than kool-aid and mr.smiley combined. even if...

such stuff as dreams are made on
i miss curling up
sticky, snail-like
with you close
next to me, radiating heat
like a warm mug of tea
sweetened, as if soaked in honey.
sticky, snail like
i miss your kiss,
slowly sipping on you
with the disposition of a sloth.

insecure sanctuary
theres a half of me
i don’t often bring to the surface. that i keep dumped on ocean floors
like subway cars off the coast of delaware. a side of me i used to think,
for so long, was born wrong.
defective and damaged,
spoiled like bad goods but, if you’re starving
without an ounce of food for miles
how do you double dare bring yourself to call it garbage.
in my more youthful...

agua de beber
me dicen que siento todo profundo.
alto, para romper tímpanos.
que no soy nada de fácil
no como estas otras,
que dan la victoria sin pelear.
me criaron fuerte y ademas haci,
no fue que hablamos.

(disarticulated) hip.hop
all i need is one, as
in five. collectively
counting, fifteen
in total. different from the rest,
the monotonous two-step,
in their twenties. early
on i found
sound balance in the
singular. proprietor of sole, i
lace tight. always left instead
of my right.

go-go dancing shoes
written in bloody truth i read once “love, isn’t always magic. sometimes its just, melting”, and isn’t that the truth, how ghastly it hurts, beats and blends you into a fleshy pulp topped around the brim with sea salt. leaves you surgery open, no anesthesia block. vulnerable. exposed like the freeway; security systems off. but tell me, what else is there. there is very...

I've been that girl
i breathe deep. lengthy. every time i get
too lost in my head. every time i wander down
paths unhealthy; when I’ve wondered too far
and my coordinates deviate,
stray dark off this short light trip.
i breathe deep. lengthy,
bringing myself back with every exhale.
remind myself that i stand, fighting,
living and full of blood. remind my mind that these horrors and if only’s
