    I’m finished with patience 

    finished telling myself 

    to wait

    wait

    wait

    for the right time 

    for the best time 

    to be new again 

    I have waited 

    for so long 

    I am hungry 

    for the future

  • Dark energy holds the universe together and tears it apart

    the way that stranger lived inside him 

    and became the one he is today 

  • Parenting

    is watching 

    so many 

    different people 

    transform 

    into one 

    hearing the echo 

    their infancy

    their childhoods 

    love that haunts you  


    I remember you. 

    I remember you. 

    I remember you. 

  • I want love

    so juicy 

    it fills my mouth

    and runs

    down my cheek 

  • betrayal hurts like this

    my ability to trust

    in a million pieces 

    at the deep center 

    of a labyrinth 


    how will anyone find me here? 

  • It’s not the same without you 

    it’s not the same at all

    we laid in bed on the morning of our children’s birthdays 

    sharing our remembering 

    the joy and sharpness of life 

    and living 

    it’s not the same 

    waking up without you 

    our daughter curled tightly against

    the space you used to be 

    it’s not the same without you 

    but I’m alive

    and still me 

  • Waiting for something good

    a thunderstorm

    a comet

    love that feels solid 

    that tangles its roots

    with mine
