1.
Every Time

Every time you walk in the rain, I can feel the drops on my skin.

Every time you gaze at the stars, I dream specks of light.
...

2.
Just Another Girl

Welding me to him with amorous glances.
I am just another shadow following my Casanova.
...

3.
The Stoic

What does your heart digest in your most private hour?
What does your mind disgorge in your most contemplative moments?

Catatonic

Catatonic, I gaze out the window. The curtains dance but I feel no breeze.

Words never to be said, written or seen again.

It feels as though the person who wrote it is dead.

Resistance of pleasure is my body’s privation.

Five pairs of earrings,

Bobby pins fallen,
scattered on the carpet below.
...

9.
Solitutde

Dancing and twirling like the leaves in autumn,
The wind carries me.
Running fast, one with the current,
Like water I will slip through your fingers.
...

10.
Polly

Coiling up onto a foreign couch, wrapped in
another man’s sheets of sweat and passion fueled filth.
The softness of the cushions, the caress of material
that’s unfamiliar and not my own.
