Mother am I no longer Daughter am I just
a half-breed breath caught behind wet pursed lips that somehow
clawed its way out? a soul full of teeth and chipping thoughts
a body-not-quite-in-body transfigured transmuted transubstantiated
with an unholy yellow-and-white casing roaming barefoot
through a dense dark wood leaving what-creature-is-this? tracks:
they speculate about a woman with branches for hair
strands stretching thick into deep tarry sky a Strange Cold Woman
with haunches that bristle like Wolf who shrieks like Raven
look into her misshapen eyes and feel ice gather up your walls like vines
Mother please tell me what You are so I can name myself

hold yourself together
there is a fire in this heart
i am dying from the
inside
out
i fall in and out of love with you every day
because i never know what
love
actually is
i am a mess
i am not yours
i am no one's
hereby i have been declared nothing
i am not in love with you
my feelings are mixing in the depth of this
shallow mind, i
can only dream about loving you
and face the reality that
my name will never be uttered by your lips
i care too deeply
for this to be okay.
i spend much of my night
dreaming about the way
your day
must feel
better than mine
better that me
a delicate state is
no excuse
it's
my excuse
i would prefer not to ex

Just the two of Us.
Sitting here cuddling your shirt
wishing you were in it,
sitting here with me
your arms around my shoulders
comforting me, keeping me safe.
My lips long for yours,
for your soft kiss, your sweet caress,
your fingers through my hair,
your eyes discovering mine
every time you look my way.
I need you here, next to me
just curled up, talking,
hoping, dreaming,
doing all the things we do
Together, just us.
Just the two of us.
Always.
Literature
us,
us,
sprawled under the midmorning sun,
breathing the dew-vapor of freshly mown grass,
books sprawled on our chests.
we fade in and fade out
with the sticky exhaustion of doing nothing.
