Myself --

a fleeting thing

My life is one of anticipation

and ecstasy

Oh, the things I see

the things I be

my fleeting dreams

Untitled

It’s 55 and it’s raining

spent the evening complaining

black screen on my story

everyone thinks I’m boring

but I thought I’d just say it

Lately I’ve been complacent

And I know you’re in Mexico

I know you blocked, I still text you though

Pace around my apartment

Spill some wine on rhe carpet

You’re always in my dreams

Preminitions in my dreams

Then I wake up, I’m empty

like the texts that you sent me

if I was wise, I’d let it go

spent the year tryna let you know

WESTBOUND

I was westbound

with the sun in my eyes

cotton candy

were the clouds in the sky

and by my side

an angel in disguise

but I’d

never seen anything beautiful

until I saw him sleep next to me

under my tufted duvet

wrapped in satin sheets

I could hear him breathe

his chest moved with the beat

and it moved me,

compelled me to think

Is love sweet like cotton candy

and fleeting like the clouds

if it rising in the east, is it westbound?

like me?

A SLUTTY VEGAN

You’re wrong and I’m complacent

good, bad, indifferent

every way you place it,

I’m just not a girl’s girl.

But, shit, it’s a cold world

ain’t it

I’m on a side of the plot I’ve never been -

a loss or a win? I’m not sure.

you like to keep secrets

and I like to keep score

Then you smile.

Said it’d been a while

Green Velvet

There was a war in my mind

and he was a casualty

when I did it, I did it casually

I was shooting from the hip

but he still fell

I knew his anatomy all to well

I knew he’d be mad at me

I returned alone to the bed

and the balcony

Green velvet in my head

but I chose myself instead

MOTHER

K.J.W.

There’s purity in repetition

that dedication, like monogamy,

oh, what a sweet ambition.

And I’m ambitious.

You think monogamy is ammunition

I only want to set you free

Love turns to war quickly

when you’re in love with me

California King

We were in my Hyundai

and I was dreaming

about my california king

You’re your height and im mine

But that didnt stop a thing

One day l’ll trade my 404

For the 405

Then make it perfect

Give my 6/15 for your 619
