let yourself go.
‘longing for bad weather’
you love the rain.
it clings to the pane
distorts your vision
reimagines perception.

for her, it’s the same cycle over and over…
‘delicates’
laundry;
she separates delicates wondering
why she’s been manhandled
all her life.

‘i watched my father suffer’
i wish a coward’s death
a last breath whispered
rather torn from the chest.

‘looking glass’
lost within normalcy
you turn to your looking glass to
appease the encapsulated weirdness without;
flow with everything that cannot define you.
rejoice in beauty found in folds
of darkness and lace.
most live life through a distorted lens
but not you.

‘little birds’
raised, nurtured, loved
held by gentle hands
then tossed to the wind
with no instruction
how to avoid power lines
upon ascension.

you know one route
one speed
stop signs are blurs
we white-knuckle
while you glide
our landscape is harsh;
yours swallowed by an open throttle.
