Literature Text
Hope is the thing with feathers
diving for dreams;
we grow accustomed to the dark
and this sleep of mine, whatever sleep it is,
adjusts itself to midnight.
Though the stars walk backward,
I have come after them and made repair.
Eternity floated a blossoming
and he unrolled his feathers
with, "Let us look at the sky."
Literature
A Poem of No One
he tells me
fix it -
i say it has a face
swamps running down in each of its eyes
weeds in its teeth
with needles for veins
it has a pulse like the tide, rolling in its ears
it snaps the necks of daisies and wonders if there’s an easier way to leave a field
it wants to know why god is everywhere but why there’s only one
angel sitting next to it in english - i say, and
it pours in a cup of its soul until the end isn't bitter
loses its heart with its keys and holds itself out in its hands
until love isn't dead-stiff anymore
it listens to clocks rattle like a box of bones
and notices that it sounds like its heart in the night.

Literature
oceans from tidepools
dreamer; you might feel
lost at sea but guidance
has always been within
you; you will find shore
soon enough.
you can look to the stars
all night but they may
never hold the answers,
you can pray to your gods
and to your earth but
they might never write back
because, dreamer, you are
your own force of nature
you are the captain, and
you have never been lost.
Literature
Aquamarine
the ocean gave you her eyes;
fixated on the moon, the tides
ebb and flow and you search for
a cliff to erode, a ship to hold,
a beach to breach and break
yourself open upon.
