Self Portrait: Day Fifteen

 

I shut my eyes

and lock them tight

I'll waltz with phantoms

when I dream tonight

Self Portrait: Day Fourteen

my day is full of miracles,

of sun beam glances and space crystal eyes and star speckled stares--

i don't believe you'll let me

down

Self Portrait: Day Thirteen

Hey, Jude--

I wanna hold your hand

as

Blackbird's singing in the dead of night

Self Portrait: Day Twelve

Set me down and tie me up

Haunt my dreams

As ghosts fill me up

Self Portrait: Day Eleven

 

tiny seahorse corpses in the sand

find their way into my hand

filling in the cracks like nothing else can

Self Portrait: Day Ten

   

 

i turn the pages to stir my heart

(i withhold my breath as her world falls apart)

i hope the end betrays the start

Self Portrait: Day Nine

there are some things

i do not dare

but wearing flowers

in my hair

is a small rebellion

that i must bear

Self Portrait: Day Eight

how wonderful life is

with

you

in my world

Self Portrait: Day Seven

 First, admire the wonder of how your body moves

Second, find a hibiscus hideway

Third, entice a bunny to ride on your shoulder

Finally

you can be you

Self Portrait: Day Six

 

Steering wheel mustaches and listening to Florence & the Machine

are my only but my best cures

for a bad day's sting

Self Portrait: Day Five

Her heart beats so wild and so loud and so fast
I close my eyes tight
To make the ghost of her last

Self Portrait: Day Four

A meadow of snapdragons and strawflowers

Drew me in--

They filled me up and fragranced my skin

Self Portrait: Day Three

 

They told me to Speak and I didn't have the words
So I painted my heart and sold it to the birds

Self Portrait: Day Two

I sit and watch and think I am alone

but here you come singing in your baritone

voice that makes me think of unicorns

Self-Portrait A Day: Day One

Confetti Monster

with books bound about her neck

and gifts trellising her walls... 

Skull Garden

i found you a garden and gave you a name

now your heart will never be the same
