We Called Her a Brd

All this talk of cages.
She’s a bird,
she’s trapped,
let her fly,
make her sing.

It’s funny
that we only notice
the pretty metal bars
and
how lovely she is,
perched there
for us. 

We made her think
that a cage
is beautiful.

Find Me

Of course
I want to explode.
I want my stars
my tears
my pain
to reach every corner
of this damned earth.
And maybe
just maybe
someone will pick them up
and won’t feel
so alone.

Why and a Warning

I write about the sea
to find this great beauty
you all speak of.
But as I dive
I find only terror
beneath her pretty mask.
If I am to drown,
know this—
the sea has fooled
us all.

Ablaze

She’s got seas of fire.
Raging, lovely, sun-drizzled fire. 
But still you give her
those little wooden boats
to sail upon 
her flaming waves.

Opaque Sky

Did you fly
too close to the sun?
Did your wings
     ignite
     combust
     breathe air
     breathe ash?
Did you circle the sea
     with feathers
     with flames
     with smoke?
How free is it, to fly
beneath the opaque sky?

Alone

They say “You are not Alone”.
Alone, Alone, Alone I taste.
I ponder.
Alone pricks my tongue.
Look left, look right, look up, look IN.
What do you mean, I am not Alone?
I see no one there, I see no one anywhere.
No one racing through my veins.
No one pounding on my heart.
No one helping, no one hurting, no one there.
Not even me.
