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. I love the attention and the physical proof that I am good at something. I walk away, shaking. Every cell in myContinue reading “Poetry Series – Performative”
Poetry Series – Gifted Flames
Sometimes I think I’ve got to ignore my feelings so that I can prove to them that they have no hold on me. Truth? It almost never works. But pen and paper, blessed with intention and permission for flowing? It works. Like, every time. People don’t hold power over you simply because they illicit aContinue reading “Poetry Series – Gifted Flames”
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..

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 – Collapse
I’m not sure this is what I pictured when they said “London Bridge is falling down”. Something told me bridges didn’t truly collapse. That they are strong enough, sturdy enough, always well maintained points of connection. I didn’t think we’d drop out of touch, just like that – falling arms. Maybe I didn’t think aheadContinue reading “Poetry Series – Collapse”
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”
