“be the driver and i’ll hold your hand
through lost towns and broken cities
while we chase sunsets.
let your eyes wander
as the open window breeze
blows through our thoughts.
i want to be
the human embodiment of our
sunset; fleeting under the horizon,
unsure of its return.”

“I tried making my house prettier
for when I sink again.
I tacked starry lights in the darkest
corners of my room because maybe
they could light up the black
edges of my mind.
I rearranged every bit and piece
of furniture hoping I could
regain control of my thoughts
if they were in different places.
I dusted each surface and underneath
each knick-knack, vacuumed each
square foot four times to make sure
I got it, figuring that the gestures
would exhume my happiness--
maybe my old self--
but my mind hasn’t changed
and even my room is a stranger now.”

“I am so full of

“as dirty laundry stales
the air and paint melts down the walls
i sit.
as memories collect dust
and roam the halls with muddied boots
i sit.
as the bitter smell of burning
dinner suffocates the angry fire alarm
i sit.
as the dark form in the corner of my mind
begins to hauntingly wander and take over
i sit.
as my life comes and goes
and goes farther
i sit.”
