i cracked you open
- wanted to know what made you
move.
you howled and i would have plugged my ears
but my hands were needed
to rummage.
i wrote my name on the
crooks of your elbows,
tucked locks of hair
beneath your ribs.
i wanted to hear a thank you
but you just curled at my feet
and became still.

hung(over)

dsdwriting:

two fingers in my glass,
scotch with rocks, because 
i break rules

ceiling fan, passing train, meowing
cat, audio book and the
moon

always the moon

constant change, friends
passing through in
the middle of another
night like this.

if i am a little lost,
don’t worry.
i can slip on my best shoes
pull my hair back up and away.
i can take their hands and
teach them to love me
as much as you love them.
when you come to me with flowers,
i am sorry if my 
forehead crinkles
and i blink too much.
when i don’t know how 
people hold hands,
or if i forget 
how to kiss your face,
and i always pretend it’s sunday,
don’t worry. don’t worry.
i’ll be fine, tomorrow, i’m sure.

say hey
and help
and say goodbye
and stay.
don’t take footsteps as a
promise,
don’t kiss my lips and
call me holy.
i can clean my messes
and i can make them bigger.
but when you say
that i am 
larger than life can hold
i am afraid of what that means

i will do lots of these.

said the lover, like a cat,
i was born to follow you
and i can remember
broken bits of yesterdays
but i can’t remember
how to live without.
she never said she’d stay,
you never said you’d go.
