misdirected anger

I grab the clouds and 
Pull them down
My knife rips
Through the grey
Where are you
I will find you
Tear though I may
The sky refuses to
Give up its secrets 

Are you hiding from me or
Am I trapped or
How do I get out
How do I 
How 

It begins to rain.

green with jealousy

On my left a 
Red 
Sunset
On my right a 
Red
Stoplight 
It turns green 
I turn my head
To see if the sunset will 
Play my game 
But no
The sun is not jealous 
Of the 
Bulb 

i’m not your superhero, baby

If I were invisible 
I’d go walking at night. 
No crime fighting
for this girl
I just want 
To be safe
And look at the stars.

escape plan

Punch me
In the face with the 
Starshine
Just knock
Me out for 
A couple 
Of days 
I just need to get 
Away

why can’t i steal the sky

Evenings 
Warm and slow
Honey in my hair 
Sleep on my skin 
Soft in my mouth 
All I do is drive
The sky is 
Making me sad

you can see through me when it’s warm out

Purple nine o’clock 
Shimmering 
Translucent hanging in
The air 
Barely there 
Black and warm it’s nine
Thirty now 
And we are in the drive thru
Much later 
All depth and all 
Unable to hold on to any of it
For more than a 
Translucent shimmering
Purple moment 
And somewhere there
Is sadness 

I close my eyes and let it overwhelm me.

listen, i just can’t, ok...

In another life
we would be together 
(I’m so sorry for subtweeting you)

(I know I said I wouldn’t but
You said you wouldn’t look 
“This will be our secret” 
But the world’s an open book
They can read my face
I’m sure
They’ll see it in my gaze 
And I’m
A little off today 
Because 
I miss you.)

Sorry for being so
Dramatic... (send tweet)
