...The pickled feeling.
Of joy and scratches.
Marked and haunted.
Having enough pens in your bag.

A Fly Taught Me to Fly
...It came like a whisper
on wings too dirty for angels,
a fly with no gospel—
just bloodlust and fire.
I don’t remember the bite—

For fear of drowning
Existing in a world where I don't belong
Except for the saving power of love

sturdy eyes and heavy leaden shoes
line up by the doorframe like splinters.
The wood is peeling, and the

I'm jealous of the devotion, and the motion of his hands,
much surprised at the green-eyed dragon that lurks within my mind,
