there's a mess and fuss to me. i am trailing padfoot, forest, bramble spineβ€” something that leaves your hands cut and cold in time. try as i might to be anything else, i am cedar ash and the translucent veins of a leaf left out in the rainβ€” untouched for so long that she's lovely again. #poetry

I laugh like I'm laid backβ€” but I can lean forward real quickβ€” quick to say "what did you sayβ€” say that again for meβ€” what did you mean by it"

I found a tiny emerald insect that looks like a leaflet. It survives on sunlight and blackberry brambles and little dew drops. Maybe this will be me in my next life, if i repent enough. Maybe i don't need love, thorn is enough.

Fun fact: after a prison break led by crows that were trained by inmates to bring them knives, crows became illegal in the US to keep as pets

Grow poppy petal wings and fly away with the fairies. Come back with their secrets to share and stare at your dialating pupils

Flowing linen and silks and grass skinned knees and spinning in the light coming through the window, you crack it open because, "good music needs air" and i stare openly as the golden sun hits your hair. you feel like a cup of tea with a smooch of whiskey and running through a field of red peonies.

If I could I’d dress myself in clouds
I think I look softest in white
In the golden light I glow,
you’d never believe my soul is night
Parts of myself I hide
They don’t look so beautiful in the light

"theres a sigh for restless
a sigh for longing
a sigh for "you're still not home"

three sighs that leave me emptyβ€”
i'm full of you
even when you're gone."

does she keep my name between tongue and teeth or is it something heavy she carries tucked under big white wings. it feels like summer heat should be wrapped around me but it's shades of gray, the feathers are soddenβ€” wet. this is where black and white intersect.

There's "i'd give you up to save the world" hero energy and then there is the superior "i would burn the entire world to ash just to keep you warm" morally gray energy
