“Empty Grave”
An empty grave
For one gone too soon –
A Poem On Lacking Heart
O to shield oneself with the visage of the sunset;
To shroud away from the rake of nail and bruise of touch
4-liners and (thoughts on you)
You rarely get your pictures taken
So I memorized your shy smile,
There Were Signs
Looking back there were signs
I know there were signs
Ace Of Heart excerpts (II)
And will you vow to stay
If I let you plant a kiss
empty calories
I lay on his lap in the dark
pale faces cotton freckled with time
q-u-e-e-r
I’m queer but not queer enough for queer poetry slams
Car Ride
On the car ride home with you
Me in the passenger seat
You, one hand on the wheel
The other in my hand.
Untitled
the ugliest euphemism for sex
is pleasures of the flesh
Confession from a Black Hole
My sun, my radiance
How cruel of me to crave you
The Talk
Mom always said she’d support us
if any of us were gay,
no questions asked.
Literalism
Bodies are meant to hold other bodies,
I’ve heard,
purely to terrify
but when it’s time I can never
let myself begin / what’s the meaning
of acceptance if everything collapses
Asexual Comfort
Go tell a tree
It’s beautiful and watch it
Lean a little more
Towards the road.
Silent Conflict
You never wanted to be the girl who cried wolf.
Lover's monologue / There is something
Lover’s monologue
I love you so much
My Heart at the Center
I haven’t made this easy. You may unbutton
my blouse, but you cannot unlace my ribcage.
