I cheerio'd and cheerio'd until hips and waist lines showed through the thickest of sweaters and sweat pants
I was so proud
Like a reverse mother, I let my child drain me of weight And birthed a monster in its place Miles upon miles of track circles Counting 12, 11, 10, 9 more laps to go Counting 500, 600, 700 calories today 200 too many Four more laps for mama
I have learned to live with migraines The thrum of success pou


VindicationI am the party cocktail With thick salt around the rim Waiting to sear and burnVindication
Your flesh
To test your strength and resolve To see if you can love me Happy, angry, and all the rest

Temptress, seductress &nbs


Dear Old House I Grew Up In It was never a normal door or a normal house. I'd walk up and be met with two doors and then in and be met with two sets of stairs: one leading up, the other down. I could descend into my childhood cellar or rise above it on any given 1990s summer day. My childhood had dead lamp shades and my cousin's cut out play-boy ladies on the wall.

For YouIt is not a regretful time I write in, though it is full of half empty coffee cups and dumpsters that smell like I forgot again. I forgot again. Being lost in a crowd is nothing more than not missing you when I sleep and scratching away my first layer of skin when Im awake and never knowing which way I should take when the traffic lights turn and turn and turn, and Im at a stand still because theres something that something is supposed to be and I understand that one day fate will have eaten me fully and while it gnaws on my long brown hair I thinkFor You
