• fold a single paper crane, snap a rainshower of polaroids, press them into the palms of strangers; give away wishes to those who just may need one, explaining ‘here – it’s worth a thousand.’

• eclipse.

  

   
  
  in hindsight,
  almost none of the words i wrote during him were beautiful.
  i think of him as an eclipse 
  as some suspension of time where
       (arrogant in his impenetrability,
        preoccupied by his victory,
        basking in the surety of my retention even as i flared from every edge)
  he forgot:
       even stifled, warmth can be sensed.
       light seeks light. 
  
  impermanent by definition,
  his incredulousness was delicious as his last sliver slipped back into the blackness -
  as he began to wane 
  as i broke
  
  
  as i rose

• ATLONGLAST

  all of the resentment is gone.
  trickled out the holes in my heart
  shaped
  colander,
  the one sitting silent now in my mothers sink,
  leaving only air-dried, starchy, sticky love
  the kind that
  stands up on it’s own
  has a bit of back
  bone,
  the kind that’s
  known
  around town, eyes that meet, hat tips;
  the kind that
  brims.

• fruit by our supporters but soil from the soilers, dirt from those who try to dirty us;  sink them into our roots, mineralized and hard and necessary for growth – everything but the poison they set out to be.
