The sea rippled calm
caressed ghost ship drifting free
blinding moon's magic.

She runs away
from sunlight and warmth,
never made it
through a summer day
without getting burnt.
Her frozen toes,
shiver safely in the dark.

Sometimes the wolves
disguise themselves
as harmless pups.
Their cunning little teeth grow in fast
and meaner than they should.
They sink their sharpened fangs
deep inside your ventricles and walls,
leave you
near-immortal,
your delicate skin
forever
searing in the sun.

Falling back
receding slow as the lowest tide
climbing back into her cobbled tower
crumbling, aging, rusting…
waiting an eternity
for the only hand
that wouldn’t let go
without a valiant fight.

There were countless pieces of her
Left behind
In firm hand
And melting grin
Scattered across
What felt like a thousand years
She could still see their faces
Strangers whispering
In near forgotten fragments of the fearless hopeful thing
she once had been

I’m not the girl that wants expensive dinners
big gifts
or fancy dates
uncomfortable
in eye and form that intimidate.
But bring me out into the wilderness
and I’ll teach you how to
to breathe deep
with tree and stream.

My favorite dress
Flows just right
But its deep pockets
Are still stained
with dancing memories
Of shaken nights.
And I’m too scared to wear it.

When my hands
begin to burn and chafe
when the rope
begins to stretch and fray
when I know
the only choice
...is letting go before it breaks
...is walk away
...is save some tiny bit of strength
so that I may live
to breathe again some day.

Solitude was a river
flowing softly,
detached from sky and earth,
belonging
only to itself.

Twig by twig,
she builds her nest
a sanctuary
from sky’s unrest.

With the carefullest haste
you put out every fire
so well it starts to flood
and I
being burned so long
have forgotten how to swim
while being blinded by the sun.

Storms brewing
raging deep inside
a restlessness builds
until darkness
colors every vein,
she runs,
wilderness,
the only place to hide until it fades.

She breaks along the brittle cracks she thought had mended
falls through jagged crevasses
limbs impaled by thorns
that never learned to fly
In her mind
Even the safest nets,
Would eventually catch fire.

Changed locks
no longer fear
the jangle of keys
outside the door.
Fists reaching drywall
and nothing more.

Broken wings
on shaking limbs
hoping not to fall.

Dread
tangled up in love
the fear
of fragile hearts
in less than careful hands
the sweet of near
and the empty of gone
the panicked whimper
of uncomfortable pieces
yearning in the fog.

Sharks in the ocean
and in her head
they bite at all the kicking things
she wished were never said.
