The hallways were different at this time of...

I need to know
I am safe...

To be honest, you
left me behind...

Find me here,
behind my words...

I've always loved you--
your hands, your eyes...

If I could write something pretty-
I imagine it would feel...

Vibrant, real
tangible...

I struggle with the button on my jeans. Jacket...

Just tell me
who you want me to be...

my lips
are dry like bones...

When water pours from you
and shatters into words...

The birds flock
in the brisk October sky...
