i caught a lightning bug last night,
watched it walk tentatively along
the edges of my fingers,
its phosphorescence blinked on my palm–
a spotlight on destiny

All Along
it was you, all along, it was you
Things that Reflect
mercury glass and mirrors,
puddles of water, windows,
books, movies and songs,
ice chips and diamonds,
silver spoons, steady minds,
sometimes children and sometimes parents
Knowing
it’s taken me so long
to know so little
Evening
we sat up high and watched the sun set,
the boats dock, and the impending darkness creep upon us
Things that Pierce
nails and pins,
thumbtacks and sharp glass,
love, hate and pointed words,
needles, nettles and stingers,
truths and lies
Silence
sometimes silence feels like a warm embrace
Words on my Mind
absinthe
rainstorm
snapdragons
sun tea
barcelona
bóta
graphite
ancestor
amber
arsenic
Miles Away
on a misty morning, i was missing you–
but you were miles and miles away
Things with Wings
birds, butterflies and ladybugs,
cicadas, moths, bees, wasps and bats,
ideas and airplanes,
dragons, dragonflies and dreams
