nothing left now
just the cold hard truth
you didn’t come for me-
-I didn’t come for you.
a
temper
can only
mask so much
heartbreak
. . .

naked toes trace
mountain’s unique veining
natural romance

each breath
each heartbeat lost
in the universe
I’m not afraid,
go ahead and toss me
in the ocean.
I want you to see
how I can breathe
underwater.

for the daily prompt. thanks for reading xo
in the palm of your
hand, in the sound of your voice–
your one life, pulsing
Always looking up
because I left my heart
in the sky.


ardent kisses
adrift on naked air
my skin, raw
