Touch me ‘til my ribs become piano keys, ‘til there is sheet music scrolled across the inside of my lungs.

If a tree fell in the forest, and you were the only one there to hear it if its fall to the ground didn’t make a sound, would you panic in fear that you didn’t exist, or would you bask in the bliss of your nothingness?

My heart is still a leather jacket I am waiting to give to someone sweet.

My mouth is a fire escape. The words coming out don’t care that they are naked. There is something burning in there.

I’ve written this poem before but always through a window, never through an open door.

I wanna know what you see when you look in the mirror on a day you’re feeling good. I wanna know what you see when you look in the mirror on a day you’re feeling bad. I wanna know the first person who taught you your beauty could ever be reflected on a lousy piece of glass.

Everything you feel is okay.

I have never met a heavy heart that wasn’t a phone booth with a red cape inside Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside Some days I know my smile looks like the gutter of a falling house But my hands are always holding tight to the ripchord of believing

Love isn't always magic. Sometimes it's just melting.

Love isn't always magic. But if I offered my body to the magician, if I told him to cut me in half so after that I could come to you whole and ask for you back would you listen for this dark alley love song? For the winter we heated our home from the steam off our own bodies?

We are all instruments pulling the bows across our own lungs. Windmills, still startling in every storm. Have you ever seen a newborn blinking at the light? I wanna do that every day. I wanna know what the kite called itself when it got away, when it escaped into the night.

For Halloween I'm gonna be emotionally stable. No one's gonna know it's me.
