  • Angst

    I know you’re upset

    But here

    I carved a space

    In my heart

    Meet me there 

    We’ll have tea

    Not too strong 

    So we can still 

    go to bed early

    We’ll talk about the 

    meaning of 

    Our matching fingerprints

    You scribble tears on your face

    With blue crayon

    They fall, rain from your cheeks

    Splash into your cup

    Allow me to drink it for you

    It’s been long enough

    You don’t have to do this alone

    “Wolf turn”

  • early afternoon

    12:34 

    while my daughter screams

    “I’M SO LUCKY”

    she found a quarter on the porch

    I think about 

    rollerblading because

    I don’t remember ever

    deciding to stop

    my son wants to eat a whole

    pizza for lunch

    the porch door is open

    I lay on the couch

    as that’s what I usually do

    I’ve bought so many 

    books and courses

    hoping to learn how to do things

    placing my trust

    in anyone’s hands but

    my own
