Cry the night away,
Tears like sunken skulls
In pits of tar
Fly, you fools,
But my our wings
Are stuck in the stringy blackness
That consumes us like fruit,
From the inside out,
Expanding our bruises
Cry the night away,
Fly away,
But you can’t: you’re a failiure
At just about that too

Is the world permanently broken?
Scarred for life,
By the life that reigns over its
blue polluted waters,
the small sky taken over by planes?
Is the Earth dying,
failing to provide
for the lonely people out on the streets,
or the animals on the melting ice?
How can we hope for a better world?
Wish upon a star they say,
when we can't even see the stars?

Frozen.
I stand, immovable,
for all the wrong reasons.
Try as I might,
I write the next scene of my life,
and draw a blank.
I am frozen,
but they aren't.
Laughing, at me it seems.
I am unable to stop as the words shoot from my mouth,
my only protection against them.
Their laughs do nothing but push me further past the line from irritated to insane.
But now I stand frozen,
only aware of what will eventually happen,
...

comment est-ce que
j'ai oublié comment écrire?
comment est-ce que
la terre continue à tourner?
il y a seulement huit jours
depuis j'étais capable à mettre
mes sentiments sur papier.
maintenant, j'écris en français,
pour me souvenir comment vivre.
maintenant, j'écris en ma première langue
pour me souvenir comment j'étais.
les océans, la ciel en haut, les fleurs avec leurs belles couleurs-
ils ne me donnent pas d'inspiration.
je suis plein, seule. je ne peut pas être
sans la poésie.

This is not who I came to the dance with,
This waiting for nothing,
This arm’s length life,
These meaningless words,
That press upon my skin like brands
But fade a minute later
Hot coals in the snow.
Like metal handles
Fusing with flesh interminably,
Unlocked boxes full of gold,
These thick warm jackets,
These sweet scents on the air,
This hallucination.

How do you light a candle when it’s already burnt out?
How do you cross a bridge that collapsed?
How do you reach for an olive branch when the tree is already destroyed?
We’re lost at sea,
Drifting farther from each other every day.
Different paths.
Different friends.
Different futures.
But still I remember when the sea was only a puddle,
A puddle we jumped in together.
I jump in the sea now,
But you don’t jump in with...
