Thresholds
Holding You at Arm’s Length
The distance between the sun and my shadow is less than the distance between us.
Icebreaker
We laugh. Only one of us knows who’s lying.
The Piano
You touch the keys more than you touch me.
A Misunderstanding
I soften my words, yet you hear aggression.
Mortality
A fish floating in saltwater. This will also be me.
Separate Rooms
Cool air upon my neck. A remembrance of your grip.
Repetition
Memory can be replaced. Again. And. Again.
Saying What You Didn’t Mean
Words enter from the ears to the heart. Here, they remain forever.
Contradiction
To forgive and revive the wound when convenient.
Liminal
The anatomy of a breath while unconscious.
