Fallen Off

Blossomtoes
Above my head,
And ponderfish
Below the surface,

Everyday
Just dropped
Like fruit too ripe
To pluck.

When a finger writes
Upon the wall,
You read the poetry
Aloud,
Awestruck.

Alone at the Museum

I explored exhibits Tracing history And present geological conditions. I realized My mind was roaming, Conjuring reactions, Thoughts,  Remarks from you All while the warmest wash Cascaded down my bones And something stirred Disturbing, comforting So deep inside my stomach. Friends are more important Than another lover. So I tell myself, But when you're close I nearly touch your skin Instinctively. I healed so greatly From my former romantic disaster. When will I Allow myself to fall again, Or has your gravity Already taken me? - 12/8/25

Full and Naked

I stagger through your room, A man too drunk On what I thought was water. You are wrapping darkness Like a robe About your body, Never speaking truth And never telling lies Exactly. The blackly cotton sky  Removes its cloudy clothing For a moment, The full and naked moon Now truth enough For everything. - 3/25/25

Elise in Beige

She wishes She could tan Beneath fluorescent Lights. The constant static Far too soft, The sterile air, The cool cocoon Bathed in beige And calm yet morbid grey, But neutral bland chromatics Never fostered Sprouting wings. That process sounds too gory, Filled with hurt. She hates this Fraudulently promising cage But isn't quite convinced A step away Would lead to green And indigo. She's finished with All pain Forever. She remains, Longing for a window. - 5/16/25
