8:05 a.m. (10-3-16)

I'll remember that look.

I could feel it
burning through my eyelids.
I could hear my breathing
and imagine it in sync
with your blinking.

I didn't dare open my eyes
for fear of you
closing yours
and losing this moment
in the flutter
of our lashes.

I was drowning
but I'm in the ocean
and everything
is peaceful

the waves
the stars
the sand

it's a spell.

February 2016

I’m running,
I’m running to something
that’s always too far out of my reach.
I’m chasing,
I’m chasing the clock 
and everything it holds.
it rolls
it rolls on,
laughing in my face.
taunting me.

I am fluid and in control
and everything in between.
I pick at the grass below
to buy me some time
but it’s all backward
and it’s all swirling
out of control
out of control
out of control
out
