celestial bodies high up above
are partially hidden in this
light-polluted city where
we hear screams from

smell pulsing humanity,
seeping thru the walls
of our studio apartments –

Clawing at my Insides (a poem)
there’s a world inside my body
begging to break free

wanting to show me

without the pain of

The Internet (a poem)
The internet is a dangerous place
you can’t see my face
just a still photo

we fall down rabbit holes

we always want more
time in front of these screens –
we screamed when the internet
was unleashed into this world

The Eve of the Funeral (a poem)
On the eve of the funeral, there was a knot in my stomach –
his death was so sudden
a Friday night phone call + he’s gone forever
I felt panic, a wave of grief that threatened to demolish me
my sister stepped into the summer night + screamed
a primal shout that began long years of healing.
