to seven-year-old me
i hope that there can come a time
where you can forgive me
for all i have done
to leave you behind
because
you weren't stupid, you know?
and people might have hated you -
leave me alone
i keep the door closed
to discourage visitors, see,
i'm not lonely
i just like being alone
and people aren't all
they're said to be
so listen, maybe; -
growing-up; or, the funeral thereof
it might be nice to turn back time
undo what i have
wronged
and just the chance
for a second chance
is all i've ever dreamed of
since i looked at photos
of the girl i used to be -
our birthright
this is your birthright:
scientists are predicting the end of glaciers;
a flood, like the kind the church pastor says,
only there's no noah to provide deliverance
no God to assure you of a redemption. -
atlas's lament
i think i am ready to set down this
sky, because my shoulders are
creaking like gears splitting and
i have grown up in a box and a
box-shaped skeleton is not the
right shape for my heart to take. -
hometown
you haven't come back home for a long time. not since your father disappeared.
