Always looking up
because I left my heart
in the sky.

Always looking up
because I left my heart
in the sky.


love isn’t far away
it’s not hiding anywhere
you didn’t need to
cry over losing it
you can’t lose what
you’re made of
I posted this to my instagram a few days ago and thought I ought to post it here, too.
here we go, another round in the
boxing ring. you against me this time
goody for you, I think you may have won.
how dull, hum drum, just another woman
who loves you. set the doll aside, its
weeping eyes can put out a fire before
it combusts. I heard energy cannot be
destroyed, only transformed, and this
woman, too, like the fruit flies who pop
persistently in and out of existence from
nowhere. off to find another painful body
to experience, hopefully one a bit better
suited this time, or at least with some very fine
armour. one with white white teeth and some
plump, pink lips that you’d happily bleed
to be swallowed by.
after all you’re that kind of a guy.
I think that last punch wasn’t
even thrown by your good side.
save the worst for last, like someone
else I used to know. strike low blow
after low blow. hey, here’s some space
for you. I have miles of it, you couldn’t
find me with the Hubble telescope.
how’s this? can you feel me again?
can you taste this waning love on your
tongue like yesterday’s leftovers?
pack it up and don’t forget to toss
it in the trash after the fact cause
you never meant to bring it home in
the first place.
how exhausting
to be the leaky tap
drip,
drip,
drip,
from morning to night.
can’t find where to turn the water off.
ardent kisses
adrift on naked air
my skin, raw
Before
the letters fell
in pieces between
the lines, I thought
maybe I’d glimpsed
that one word:
love.
I rolled over
to catch my breath
sometime after
that.
Winter has been showing Toronto how tenacious it can be by giving us a couple blizzards so far this spring. Or maybe Spring is just being lazy and Winter is being a great friend and covering for it.
April blizzards,
the most bashful
of snowflakes
finally work up
the courage
to fall.

I don’t mind, really. I love snow.
Happy hump day 😉
I can smell the
universe on your skin
like a sweet chaos
ravishing me, waging
war on my senses
and
I’m falling like a
petal grooming the wind,
crashing gently into you,
your embrace hot on
every inch of me
and
lying here,
head on your shoulder,
fingers tracing your chest,
matching your heart
beat for aching beat,
I think
I’m really going to miss this someday.
letters strewn about like
tumbleweeds across the
bedroom floor. words I forgot
to say scooped up and hidden;
sealed in your back pocket.
my anxiety roaring up,
mouth wide and ready
to devour but suddenly
giving out just before
laundry time. wasn’t it
always tricky to coordinate
our timing?
you see the words didn’t
fall away, you only just
saw the ink bleeding
out when it was already
too late to make out
the meaning.
