Today I write to you from that oft-mentioned space, between anywhere and nowhere. It’s that liminal territory that exists somewhere on a fly’s wing. Lucky us, that fly just landed on Atlas’s bicep. We have plenty of space to camp out! We hope the night will visit us with mundane “normal dreams.” The love ofContinue reading “Faux Dairy: A Poem of Sorts”

Confessions of a Fire Sign
As a Leo, I’m told I’m a fire sign. Most of the time that feels like a miscalculation, at best. At worst, it’s an inside joke I’m not a part of. I can be particularly timid and likely wouldn’t speak up if you chopped off my arms. I often read confidence as arrogance and self-prioritizationContinue reading “Confessions of a Fire Sign”
Citrus (A Poem)
The line went dead a long time ago. Disassociation central, and it shouldn’t scare you anymore. God knows I’m passed the point of worry. As I’ve always said, there is something beautiful in death, it’s poetic or sublime. Somewhere along the way his soul froze, buried in piles of snow. But look how it glistensContinue reading “Citrus (A Poem)”
A Sneaking Rage
I lay on the splintering wood. Weezer’s “California Kids” rattles through the back of my mind like a muddled memory. The smell of freshly-cut grass fills the air…Remember your breathing!… No need to be angry. Nothing is wrong. Still, the rage pools in the center of my brow, its acid dripping down to my lipsContinue reading “A Sneaking Rage”
Help Me Settle a Debate… (VIDEO)
I don’t know how to describe it. There is just something about being constantly told I should talk about my disability that makes me uncomfortable. I recognize, and am often reminded, that many people with cerebral palsy have difficulties communicating. I’m repeatedly told that I should use my ability to speak as an asset toContinue reading “Help Me Settle a Debate… (VIDEO)”
Glass Heart
A secret not so closely guarded. A heart of glass shattered most days, in small ways. A passing comment or random choke in the throat? Chip, chip, chip away. Take it all! I don’t want it anymore. Get up, glue it together, rudimentary. Set yourself back. On your heels, better than on your toes, right?Continue reading “Glass Heart”
The Dragon that Swallows Fire
I breathe in hot embers,It’s like a firework has explodedIn my chest,But instead of beauty,I find destruction there.The sudden burst of warmthFades to a chillI can’t quite describe,It’s as if something wasThere,And will never be,There again.The unease of emptiness,The apprehension toward change,I want to be the DragonThat swallows fire!Absorbs its harrowing nature,And reforms it,Makes itContinue reading “The Dragon that Swallows Fire”
Time Flies
Here’s a poem dedicated to the moments you wish could last forever…
On the Tip of My Tongue
Let’s talk about that feeling when you can’t quite describe what you want to say. New poem!
Sweat and Forget
Working out can be a great outlet but sometimes the emotions still come through…

My Tentacle Monster
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the days I’m really down, I can visualize what is wrong without necessarily having the words for it. Today, I’m going to try to describe it. It’s like these long, shadowy tentacles breaking through my chest. It feels like they’re breaking the bones in my chestContinue reading “My Tentacle Monster”
