"I am not yet immune to the dark currents that rage within
but I know at least
that If I come running to you,
drenched and weeping,
you will see me separate from my storm."

"grass like bedsheets
soft
over
under
my thighs my knees
and calves and shin
rolling like waves
the tide like kisses
and fire like wisps
grass like bedsheets"

"I'm sprouting flowers on my shoulders
as you tug me."

"run through the grass with your military feet
til your metal snags.
then run barefoot in the same pursuit
but the faster grass has changed your weapon,
and your feet smell sweet."

"I wish a sparrow,
an open field,
a window to sit in,
a weight to read, to write,
alone with tea
for two,
an invisible breeze and softness over, under, and within."

"you lifted me into your tired pockets
and I wore through you
from the inside out,
and you forgot you were meant to keep things
not lose them,
once."
