That's
always
seemed
so ridiculous
to me,
that
people
want
to be
around
someone
because
they're
pretty.
It's
like
picking
your
breakfeast
cereals
based
on color
instead
of taste.
A woman
is like
a tea
bag
- you
can't
tell
how
strong
she
is until
you
put
her
in hot
water.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Dear Life,
When I asked if my day could get worse,
it was a rhetorical question
not a challenge.
When I asked if my day could get worse,
it was a rhetorical question
not a challenge.
Your arms are too tight
To loop my own through
Your eyes no longer hold the light
Which, like a beacon, my soul was called to.
Your lips splatter words across the concrete
And mine stumble for just the right, "Forgive me."
We are both of us lost to our own forms of defeat,
You which are now but my memory,
and I to the darkness I see.
But we still stand side by side,
And press in for the photograph
And we make our smiles big and wide,
And I pretend to know your laugh.
- yours 11.1.15

Imagine you
are
You're dripping like a saturated sunrise.
