And Her Unborn Child
I remember only in pieces, montage of slow moving images, many of them confined within a 10-inch vintage screen. I preferred them constrained that way. A part of me–the part of me that should have been more shaken but was still underdeveloped, still too self-centered and afraid to feel anything too real–shut down. My awareness of what was […]

Celestial Symphony
excerpt from a textbook let it be like a supernova scattering its stones of fire into Your hydrogen heart let me watch new stars like babes take their first breath, my death in their life I don’t mind much, they’re worth this enormous explosion, they’re worth this being reckless in my love let me watch, […]

The Giving Tree
You carry our love stories on your trunk, your branches hearts names tears sighs laughter kisses carved into your flesh bark stripped away to reveal the smooth softness underneath – that place too we’ve carved with our names. Beautiful tree, holding the universe, limbs outstretched, your heart exposed as you stretch to the heavens, yet […]
