 
      
      rosary pleads
papa prays for me and my mind 
      
      playing dead
it was paralyzing to be freely alive yet still camouflaged in surrender 
      
      *your standard steps
dad and me and you, your standard steps were all i knew, it was a small world in which i lived 
      
      dear mama…
you smile at my smile as if i am gold and plated ready to be served 
      
      an open letter to you and your mind
the days when your bed is quicksand and you are sinking will go away and the sun will rise againenraptured oasis
crowded skies make way for king-sized lies 
      
      trivial pursuit
cottonmouth carpeted with sticky stutters 
      
      naked and afraid
but if you are there if you are listening i want to know why i why i need to do the things that i doi come in threes
it is not superstition, it is much more than thatmy 100 word love
But, it was that smile I couldn’t contain that spread across my lips 
      
      turning nothings into somethings
the hidden exquisiteness of our world that too often we take for granted
