full flower moon

full flower moon
find it along the way

im a writer,
arent i ?

i finish
sentences
i end them
all of them
when they need
to be cut off .

make them
bloom
but not too
fast

i watch it
grow and glow

cherry garnish

fruit candy
stuck to my gums
on the streets
of milwaukee
cherry slices
eaten first
cherry garnish
sitting at the bottom
of my glass
naps during
jailbirds
im flying into
a new life
hopeful and secure
hot chocolate
with milk
serendipitous
greetings from
sheldon the dog

roses for eyes

when i thought about you
my tongue turned into
ice cream

when you touched me
my skin turned into
the sun

when i saw you
my eyes turned into
roses

when i dreamt about you
my heart turned into a
marshmallow

when you kissed me
my lips turned into
gold

but with
an ice cream tongue
and sun-filled skin
with roses for eyes
and a marshmallow heart
and even with
lips of gold
it still didnt feel
right with you

bugs in my brain

bugs in my brain
buzzing behind my eyes
all i see is blurry
crawling fast
get them out
down my throat
i cant breathe
biting behind my forehead
stinging my temples
make it stop

you know what you did

right direction

relieved to be free
finally
where i should be
finding my way
but knowing im
in the
right direction
