I barely liked him.
But he was heat at the peak of summer,
and he kissed like I was his last meal–
And I was looking for a body to drown in.
Back then, I had a candy-coated heart,
like flowers tucked in the pages of a hymnal,
and he had the thick, calloused hands
of a working man.
He talked like a friend,
but touched like an animal
and my bubblegum chest wanted that
in ways it couldn’t understand yet.
He asked what colors I kissed in
and the poet in me cracked open and spilled over–
Exposed like an open wound,
like all the soft, pink parts of me
I didn’t know about.
He was a means to an end:
my Machiavellian loss of innocence.
I don’t regret him,
but sometimes I wish I did.”

"Dear–whoever you are:
I’ve gone looking for you, again.
I keep thinking I’ve found..."
I’ve gone looking for you, again.
I keep thinking I’ve found you–
find the prettiest mouths and call them
yours. I pin ‘someday’s
on anyone willing to kiss me.
I have a habit that looks
like beautiful girls
waiting halfway across the country, and
boys who take my breath away and then
keep going and going and going.
In my experience, love is a hitchhiker
who tags along for a few dozen miles
and then gets gone
and stays gone.
In my experience,
love is what makes fish
swim upriver.
Dear you–
dear
us,
or what we could be,
or what we will be–
this last one wasn’t you, either.
But I’m still looking.
I haven’t given up.”

hi! I want to get the signed copy of your first book but I can't pay thru paypal since I don't have a credit card. do you think I can pay using another method like money transfer? thank you!
Hey! I’m not familiar with other modes of money transfer [at least not secure ones] but if you come off anon I’d be happy to discuss it with you and see if we can’t figure something out!
[for the record, you can link a bank account directly to paypal, you don’t have to have a credit or debit card]
