Morning Dreams
I will lie awake And lie for fun And fake the way I hold you Let you fall for every empty word I say — Brand New I had a dream that you were cheating on me, she tells him. She opens the cabinet and finds a box of Irish breakfast tea. She knows she […]
Through The Walls
Sometimes she can hear her sister crying through walls She doesn’t know why she’s crying She doesn’t know why she’s so loud. It’s 3 am. When morning comes, they do not confront; Too afraid to know if she hears her Too afraid to let her know that she does. They let it go, Unspoken. The […]

The Triumph Of Memory

Maine summers require them. I’m contemplating whether or not I should ask Franny, Chris, and Justin over. Just to catch up, maybe […]
