it sings!
i am helium glazed, punch-drunk head full of sugar air.
nerves like live wires, lithe and fizzy.
(you mouth things to me on the backs of my eyelids,
my hallucinating finger paces the length
of your bottom lip.)
everything feels so close now,
oppressive.
the room is holding its breath.
you have made me forget subtlety, pretense clattering;
i am sure a false move will...

my imaginary friend
We were lying side by side in the grass. It was Summer. You were trying to get to the bottom of my unhappiness.
“Are you afraid you’ll fail?
I shook my head.
“Are you afraid you’ll end up alone?”
I sat up on my elbows to look over at you, “No, that’s not it.”
“Well, what?”
I paused searching for the answer. It would be nice to...

unlearning & re-learning
She was tentative
almost to the point of sullen;
it was easier to behave abruptly than to accept
