fly away my friend

fly away my friend

strawberries every day
outside dinners and glasses of wine
summer rain, again and again
long evening walks, admiring lush gardens
the sweetest little ice cream truck

the impending night kisses everything in a violent rush

sometimes it’s not so much what is lost,
as what can be found

Indifference can make you feel small, it can render you invisible, as you question the tender essence of yourself and the preservation of what used to be your young and wild spirit.

shadows are like morning webs,
tangled in our downcast lashes and hushed lips,
at once beautiful and terrifying

camera accidents


we search the world over,
never realizing the answers
are within

She was like a woman of Leonardo da Vinci’s, whom we love not so much for herself as for the things that she will not tell us.
from A Room with a View by E.M. Forster, 1908

his memory
crawls into
her mind,
winding and binding
and finding a way
into her stilled
and hollow heart
