She/her
I cling to sheets
To refuge
Silent, still
Light and dreams
Robbed
Of valid assignations
Bile spilt over edges
Not yet defined
But deeply held
Fighting an enemy
Violent as a butterfly
Silent as the moon
Dominoes
Undulate
Unseen
Falling clicking
Ticking into place
Brittle, alone
I weep
I cling to sheets
To refuge
Silent, still
Light and dreams
Robbed
Of valid assignations
Bile spilt over edges
Not yet defined
But deeply held
Fighting an enemy
Violent as a butterfly
Silent as the moon
Dominoes
Undulate
Unseen
Falling clicking
Ticking into place
Brittle, alone
I weep
into the dark matter…

"If I had to make a #wild guess, I'd say 42."
"Haha. Not even close."
"Give me an #estimate what decade then?"
"Fifth."
"Fifth? You're fifty? No way. Okay 51?"
"Exact opposite on the decade."
"Oh my god. You're the same age my grandma was!"
"Happens to us all."

The #autumnal
Pattern settles
By #design
I find tears
Easier
To hide
In the dark
Of the year
When everyone
Accepts
Hibernation
And memories
To collide
With St. Nick
Jolly left at the door
I sit and pet the dog
Pretend to play
The piano badly
So no one asks
And I can
Weep
In peace

And you seek warmth in my arms
I will clear your path

I didn't write this
"Second chances taste
Like cinnamon"
But, I mean,
They're not wrong

Don't let anyone fall through the cracks...yourself included.
Much love 💕

That first date
At your place
Salmon and asparagus
Crispy potatoes
A fine chardonnay
Was like dinner
With that friend
From primary school
That would climb
On the roof
Of the neighbor's shed
And offer a hand
Without thought
Our #learning curve
Was almost negligible
Our love
Almost instant
But I feel like I'm the lucky one to witness such unadulterated love.
