Heavenly

like a whisper, 
I'll show you the world
beneath the world when your
memory of it feels cold to the touch.

I Once...

I once thought that romance was reserved for 

cis het monogamous intimate relationships.

I once confused love as being finite and fickle

and all together intangible and inaccessible. 

I once, child, I once even confused love with

harm. 

thank god I know differently now, 

know that caresses and accountability and

friendship and consent and shared giggles and 

held hands, amongst friends and lovers and

strangers and the like, 

is romance, is love, is once I learned it was 

infinite, it was galaxies, it was the universe, it

was ever expanding

I became star dust, once again.

I Believe That We Will Win / In Anger and In Hope

be braver than you 
think you are until
you find your courage

let the anger fuel

your momentum and 

gift hope the space

in your bones.

Back Line

I want to apologize for

being broken, for 

breaking, for

how I can't tell you

what's wrong because

I know and I don't know

and the heaviness of

that knowledge is not 

for sharing, it's toxic.

It's toxic, like the way

life destroys everything

in its path, like did you

know we're all just 

slowly dying? Because

I do, and I did, and 

sometimes the pace

turns into a drumbeat

march step and I'm 

walking with my bike

but they can't keep up

and they fall farther

and farther

and farther

and farther 

behind and it kills me,

before destroying them, 

before lifting my burden

of knowledge, and weight.

Ignorance

Sometimes, sometimes,

I daydream about not 

being awake at all.
