i mastered the art of suffocating without drowning. i learned how to numb myself as his sweaty mammoth body straddled me in depraved delight. but i never mastered the art of forgetting. remembrance remains etched on my bones.

The poem “dear future lover” from my debut collection the Chaos of Longing.

Excerpt from heavy.

It’s okay not to be okay.

Excerpt from “fast tailed girls”, a new poem from the revised and expanded edition of The Chaos of Longing

i will slowly seep into the floorboards of your heart until they squeak and buckle. this will be your new home and you cannot afford to leave.  i won’t let you.

page 62 of the revised & expanded version of the chaos of longing

Metamorphic from the chaos of longing.

i hope you’ve found a piece of paradise that you couldn’t find standing still or chasing pavements here on earth...
