  • There are many layers
    to the human soul...

  • So just hate me
    for my slobbery tongue...

  • My hands are two tiny ants
    crawling over meadows...

  • I could feel my heart folding itself
    like one of those kirigami stars...

  • The further I run,
    the deeper I'm in...

  • I can tell by the slump of my words
    that they're tired of standing in this imagery...

  • I often wonder why
    that homeless woman...

  • Like all the men
    I've ever adored...

  • I love you like a star, dear
    with auspicious eyes and falling lines...

  • Sometimes I feel I might choke on love,
    it can seem so heartless and cold...

  • The air smells of honeysuckle,
    it's almost too sweet to breathe...

  • I could bask along the shorelines
    of a man's aquatic soul...
