Poetry 

Inherited

What about the girl

Who brought down the tower of lies

To save her family?

She walks alone.

They chose to live

Amongst the rubble

Instead.

They delivered

All the things

Love is not

In tiny

Mislabeled

Packages.

And yet,

I always knew.

Transparent

Folding Chairs

Sure, you’re sorry

Today.

But what about

Every other day?

And what about

All those other times.

You know.

I wonder how many of us there are.

I wonder how many of us

Sat next to them

In folding chairs

And waited

For apologies

That never came.

My heart is a wolf

With fur

That dances

In the cool moonlight

Unwavering.
