when i can't sleep at 2 am
what's a girl to do?
write poetry that's really bad
so you can read it, too!

this rhymes in french, pt. 2

en mots que tu
ne peux pas lire
"je t'aime je t'aime"
je veux te dire

maintenant, quand je veux
t'embrasser
je peux le dire
en bon francais

you should know
you are tres chouette
but i can't tell you that
not yet

edgewise

when all of the words swirl around in your brain and you can't fit in anything edgewise
so you write it all down like a scribe or a slave but you can't fit in anything edgewise
and you're trying to stop just to eat or to breathe but you can't fit a word in edgewise
the writing will choke you and leave you to freeze since you can't fit a word in edgewise
i have to stop writing it's eating me whole and i can't fit a thought in edgewise
i must think for myself, not of lovers or rhythms

INSPIRATION -
I'D LIKE TO LIVE EDGEWISE.

2011

churning out the words i hear
at 12 o'clock at night
i need to see my hopes and fears
controlled in what i write

slip

i think it's funny how all of a sudden the urge to write just slips away . as if the words were someone else's flowing through me to the page . im weak and poor and stranded when the inspiration goes its way . . . so you see i'm not a writer . i just put your words on paper .

acknowledgement

you see
my heart on
face
book
paper.
