Separating is silent. A quiet exit
hardly felt
but present and suffocating like
air in a humid room.
The door creeks opens,sudden draft,
cold whoosh of something closing.
And suddenly
you’re alone.

Mars Is In Venus, I’m Over The Moon, And You’re Always Too Far Away
No respite in highway lines,
only long and lonely roads.
Weals burn frostbit hearts cold,
when love is warm,
and yet the stars
do not align.
Sweetheart, Be A Sweet Heart And Cut The Strings To This Sweet-Heart
This disaster town can hardly hold us,
wild kids ingenuine as our frozen margaritas
and glass brooms. Keep the dust and repercussions,
we’re only looking for a good time. Radio on
repeat so we don’t lose our edge.
Weekend full of #hashtags on Instagram
and postcards reminding me
of how you left us.
My Love Is Not A Pivot Table (aka Baiser Lamourette)
Weigh what men that love me
the way analyst add up pros and cons
on Excel spreadsheets. Fiscal year
ending, lost my notes in budget meetings,
but,
I’ll be damned if it isn’t fun
to put the smallest gestures
against the guillotine
of my affection. Cut the head
and see how far
the river runs.
Your Mother Survived Food Poisoning So I Know What That Mouth Do (aka Punch Death In The Face)

when I delude myself to

I am guilty of being terrible
