Dream Train

I was on a train
barreling down a tunnel

in a city I have
always lived in 

and the flashes of fluorescence
that permeated the black, dense

memory, sank into an ocean
of last bubbles.

The Gambler

You risk as if you have nothing
To lose
And so will you, when I do not
Return.

voyeur

bending the rules feels...
like an option, for you,
the journey itself in the reprieve
of a boundary, decent
once open, the pretense
of a curtain constantly pulled
between your legs.

Cup

We act like there are
no monsters or dragons in our lives,
no imminent dangers or emergencies,
And in this belief,
We feel safe. 
When the monsters and the demons
are in the lies that we tell ourselves,
that we are not strong enough
to defeat them,
And against this fire and claw,
We must fight.

on wings

In the forest between this life and the next
life, we are journeywomen
marking the distance and the place,
and from the galaxy to the right,
where our loved ones wait patiently
to return to us,
the butterflies dance on certain wings.
