I used to change clothes in Heathrow airport. I don't cry in airports, I wait until the movie begins. Sterile white floors with no history of movement scraped into their surfaces. I easily forget where I am who I am when I look down. The lights ... Read more >

Do you feel lighter?
Heavy in a different sense.
Heavy because I have seen too much.
I’ve seen her pregnant on the roadside and not wanting to
bear her own weight.
I didn’t guess, she told me.
And I’ve heard of how she had ... Read more >

My hands held the smell of mint
The aloe looked like the weeds around it were choking it
Some had half rotted, unseen by sunshine
Caught in the wet shade of protection taking over
I wanted to free them.
Aloe, I want to ... Read more >

Ode to

To be here, again, in a place I belong and
