I saw Jupiterfrom my window last nightthe only way to live foreveris for the world to stop turningremain still, frozen in timemid-cycle, suds still bubblingeternally motionless but eventuallyno matter what we dono matter what we trywe all still melt
I have been sorting through a whole trunk of mementos and photographs deciding what to keep and what to let go off. I’m trying to organize everything so I a finally complete scrapbooking it all like I’ve been promising myself for years. In the process, I’ve stumbled upon some of my high school poetry. I had completely forgotten writing most of it! I wrote this one with two friends while we were running wild with my magnetic poetry set. I have a Zoom call with them and the rest of our high school friends later this month, it will be fun to share this with them.
My worst nightmares Don’t end when I wake They cling to me Like an oil slick Until I wash them away with scalding water Until my skin is pink Like rays from A new sun
I packed the champagne flutes carefully
November sunsets are under appreciated
they say we’re all snowflakes
last week I was stuck
I planted them
I slip through the trees while the light turns slowly from indigo to a pale yellow the houses still glow amber spilling their secrets
the ten swords
