Look… I saw this adorable video of Meg Falley & Andrea Gibson and they’re talking about how writing a love poem can be as simple as offering someone all of the things they never got in their childhood. Pair that with learning to love beyond my hurt and a strong sense of pattern recognition andContinue reading “Poetry Series – All I Could Give”

Cancer There’s an ache in my bones, calling me back to my roots. This human need for structure and stability are killingContinue reading “Poetry Series – Cancer”
Poetry Series – Love (hurts?)
I’ve been thinking a lot about “pain tolerance” lately and the things we accept as “enough” when we really are looking for love. Let this serve as resolution that I am officially unable to water-down my wants for anyone. Whether I have been asked, expected, or volunteered… this is my immediate notice that I amContinue reading “Poetry Series – Love (hurts?)”
Poetry Series – Abstinence
The world is (unhinged) right now. I am taking deep breaths, trying to ground myself in a reality worthy of staying in. I am mindful of what is crossing the threshold of my boundaries. Listening within the quiet, I recognize – I’ve been hiding. As I re-emerge and reenter my own body, I settle onContinue reading “Poetry Series – Abstinence”
Poetry Series – Performative
Do you want to know the shameful truth? Of course you do, we love knowing we’re not alone in our monstrous beliefs and habits! The truth is, I feel most alive on stage.

Poetry Series – Two, Coexist
I’ve been having a hard time accepting that I can have let myself down in the past AND show up for myself in the future. For someone who so desperately believes that people can change.. I haven’t done great at offering myself the grace and space to do so. So cheers to coexisting – causeContinue reading “Poetry Series – Two, Coexist”
Poetry Series – Bridges
Y’all. I’m salty. There’s an aching in my bones longing for the water below. This bridge is nice and all but.. I wonder if it’s time to go. Bridges I imagine –When a bridge breaks.It doesn’t happen all at once.Seasons weather at the foundation with no bother of tending.Support crumbles under the weight of aContinue reading “Poetry Series – Bridges”
Poetry Series – New Moon
I hate to break it to you – I know you’ve been off thinking I’m special or something but… I am just like other girls. They, we, are fucking magical. I, simply, made the mistake of letting you see rather than looking in the mirror and revealing myself to me. In my era of correction,Continue reading “Poetry Series – New Moon”
Poetry Series – Butt Dial
I’m revisiting everything. Asking if the anger I’m holding still has a home here or if we’re ready to let it go. I’ve been shedding a lot lately. Banking on changing seasons, a whole new me. Hate is the enemy of grief. Keeping the toxicity alive within our body. I wonder why you’re calling butContinue reading “Poetry Series – Butt Dial”
