Her skin, running to nowhere.
If she were but a man.

Wedding 101
Remove the plank, He said,
Then not only attended,
He gifted them wine.
Ready to Escape
Orange and black moth
Needed help to get outside,
Then fluttered towards clouds.
Love Lesson
Your heart heals her wounds
As she trusts for the first time.
Scars peeling away.
His Legacy
Called his daughter whore.
Nightmares become memory
As she wakes in sweat.
Further Conditions of Alzheimer’s
White mass on your brain
And you, brother, far away.
The pain sears my heart.
Angels’ Wings
Falling asleep wrapped
In the warmth of angels’ arms
Knowing we are loved.
Non-Independence Day
Kitchen glass fireworks
Cut the loneliness like shards
In her waiting heart.
Changes
Clearing old friendships,
Like cleaning out the closet,
Makes room for the new.
Wedding RSVP
She can’t come, she said,
And broke her sister’s heart clean
Like a knife on glass.
