I'm proud of myself

for not biting back

for refusing to use

words as swords

I Write For You

I write for the woman who swallows the small blue pill
who smiles outwardly, yet inside wars a battle that no one can see ..

You will stand at attention and you will hear
With every decibel
A resonant echo
That casts out
Fear.

He Promises Tomorrow

I try to show him

what it means to touch me

He promises tomorrow,

but tomorrow never comes.

Imagination's Gift

The zigzag on the Rorschach test

Looked like a zebra --

It was black and white

And sprouted coltish legs.

To Love A Mermaid

To love a mermaid means to find algae on your shoes. To forgive the smell of seaweed, become averse to sushi, and stop calling your period “shark week”.

Step into the unknown, exploration of Deering Mangroves

Surges of energy rush through my body and captivate my mind

Time stands still as I walk into this other world

The morning sun peeks through the brilliant green canopy

I escape to Yorkshire

try to fathom endearing terms

meant with genuine compassion

sonnet love affair

I first fell out of love in seventh grade:

130, read out loud, line by line.

This poet could demean and bitch and whine

then call it love.

For My Rapist | What He Taught Me

He taught me how to fear. I’d rather live with my eyes shut than be blinded by the light.

One Night You Grew Silent

You said you wanted me

when you turned to face the lamppost.

The snowflakes caught your eyelashes

on the last languid Christmas.

I am not sure when or how it all happened,

But lately, my vagina has seemed like a beautiful chalice.

I left your body with the same

bitten to the quick

Grape Soda

…I was chipping my new manicure. I was eating all of the grapes with

coffee ice cream. I was a little chubby, but nice.

I was writing poems by the side of the pool,

the blue curtains…

How a Filipino Mother Says I Love You

She marinates my petaling skin,

with Vicks Vaporub. The cracks stop

at my stomach, to reveal a slick

oasis made by her calloused fingertips.

What We Fell Into

This is what we fell into.

That’s why we take the stairs two at a time, we destroy the surveillance cameras, confiscate all the guns aimed at us, shut off all your alarms, and we speak.

No word to name it. She knows

her mother gives,

how crying is the purest alarm
