… I know that as time passes, my biggest fears grow in their chances of becoming reality. I set myself up for failure if I do not prepare myself now. I know that I tried to love someone and I tried to make them feel special, and I know that I need to accept what […]

Is there a statute of limitations on “time and space” and “wait until I text you”? Is that like a cop-out code word for “you’ll never ever hear from me again, I’m just scared to tell you that to your face?” Meanwhile, I just wait forever. I went kayaking today. It was windy and the […]

I have nothing to say. Going to spend my evening marathoning The Purge movies. The weather was nice today, and I created a book study guide for my book reading group that I’m particularly proud of but who cares. Who. Cares. I’m done with caring for now.

Teenage Wasteland

I am on this sea of sand Where the universe expands and on this spaceship yacht hours are not besought Tangled in my golden strands wildflowers from the meadowlands and protruding from my chest is a branch with an old crow’s nest Sitting on the creaky aerie is a small yet prodigious cemetery and my […]

You Were

Tan skin glistening in the hot sun, tasting like the salty water from which you sway upon your board. Messy wet thick hair, dark as bitter chocolate, frozen in a melted splay. Eyes the color of an old copper penny, in thought, lost, neither here nor there. Your old green car, I don’t even know […]
