Is there a word in German for the feeling when Facebook reminds you it’s someone’s birthday but you have literally zero idea who the person even is so you want to unfriend them but you can’t because then you’d be the jerk who unfriends people on their birthday?

oh,my darling

we have practiced
this quiet love
for far too long
not to perform aloud
at every opportunity

Dear One,

You constantly rise above the necessary and do the extraordinary.

You don’t give yourself enough credit for that.

oh, love
be broken
if your soul
wills it so

bask
in the
bright
remnants

the flint
and the glint
of your scattering
of every light

my heart
is an intersection
of bright boundaries
but the crosswalk lines
have all faded
to grey

oh, my darling

you ache to bloom
but today’s light
is so very harsh

it’s okay to wait
for the rays of
a gentler sun

oh, love
I don’t know
how to belong
to you like this
you want
to hold me
but I am a
s c a t t e r i n g
in embryo and
your hands are
ever so small
and the sky
is ever so
vast

I have given myself over
to the wind, the tide, the moon
I have not sought your lust
or any other boon

away with you, away
you hopeful little gnat
I’m quite content with all I am
and everywhere I’m at

A poem inspired by some of the strange men in my DM’s:

you came to me
on bended knee
supplicating to a throne
but I have never towered there
nor claimed you as my own

mine is not a kingdom
of peasants, toil, and strife
I have only ever wanted
to live a quiet life

sometimes
my grief is
a loud thing
h o w l i n g
outside of
myself

more often
it is a forlorn creature
pressing its furrowed forehead
against the aching cage
of my rib bones
bereft
