Noticer of things. Playing an infinite sum game. My roots are in New York City, my bloom in Cascadia.

Step aside, pizza rat. Toilet rats are invading #Seattle and this fills me with inexplicable holiday joy 🎄🚽🐹 www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Be aware of toilet rats, King County says
Rats could climb into your toilet as a result of recent flooding from atmospheric rivers, King County officials say. Enter "wet rat winter."

I hold the ladder,
As if I could stop you falling,
Like I am enough,
A weight like a full stop,
The words piling up,
Spilling over me in sentences,
Holding on tight,
Knowing you’ll crush me,
When you fall.

This year has felt like being awake during surgery but also it’s unsuccessful surgery and also also now you have an infection and none of that is covered by your insurance anymore

wishing on strange stars
for a planet we would love
into a new world
secret mapmakers
we whisper like withered reeds
naming our rivers
sometimes dream hikers
over the boulders down scree
in the cargo bay

Pull the blanket up
against night wind's claw.
I'll guard the candle flame,
back holding the door.
Not keeping count of days I'll sit awake.
To wait...
Till the scabs slough off.
You sleep, and I'll keep watch.

If you’re reading this,
The punk on the afternoon bus,
Mohawk resting on the window,
I almost reached out,
My fingers wanting,
The urge to know,
How spiky your hair was,
If it would feel,
Like shards,
Or soft like a wolf.

I think I want what we all want - peace, love, warmth, and an enchanted cottage that floats through the night, trading used books and black market rum with the wild folk of the wood.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
