a sigh made wisps in the evening breeze
this is my time to shed. skin tight
against bones ground to dust. a
weary kind of molt so new scales
may form, iridescent.

summer nights with you
we’re in the pool, watching the
sky bleed all its color into an
impenetrable midnight. you hold
me in a reflection of starlight. we
are ice cream and ripples and
open mouths pressed together
like a waiting heat.

~K.T.

last night, i had a dream
giant eye watching through the
window. slitted pupils. not god.
something else. voiceless. rumbling
through unfamiliar atmosphere. i
speak plead. wake with bated breath
and fear of the unknown.

wrists bound by ink
smile as i hold them out to inspect.
the words writhe against my pulse.
seek a sweet mercy. a mouth. a
reason to spill like rivers have
always lived in my veins.

~K.T.

rest feels unfamiliar
i’m a creature of habit. a seat is
a beckoning finger. whispering to
take a breather. waste away. i
don’t want to melt. might need it.
shy away from each sigh that’ll
release this jar of bees i call
my anxious thoughts.

moths in my chest
gagging on ashen wings. stuck
in my throat. only moondust
comes up. coats my tongue.
i go out the way night intended.
gasping for breath. owl eyes on
my skin. a cocoon of twilight
bursting into midnight.

exhaustion settles between my collarbones
perches like a bird. wings
made stained glass. pretty.
fragile. one rock from shatter.
each flutter of feeling etched
in my throat. hold feathers tight
in this [safe] place.

the joy of noticing
my room has grown. walls adorned
with bits and bobs. all i've come to
love. It’s like home. like skateboards
ready to ride. like posters. captured
memories. we stand shoulder to shoulder,
this child and i (of mine).

porch light, low
your silhouette in a swinging chair.
i, all naked afterglow wrapped in
warm quilt. we sit together. talk to
the moon. cuddle and curl into a
dreamy sleep.

falling asleep, palm to the swell
of my stomach. here is where i
lie dormant. eyes closed to a sky
that melts to a blue deeper than
my dreamless sleep.

~K.T.

the young girl in me refuses to leave
her voice, gravel attempting to be
concrete. i’m teaching her to paint
her limbs pretty. not gritty as sidewalk
chalk. something she can create. she
holds my hand too tight. i let her ruin
my fingers.

~K.T.

what if i said that you didn’t have to stay?
know i’m lonely in my love.
wouldn’t ask more of you. will
wave goodbye as you leave.
there’s no point in convincing
when so many leave. just hope
you choose to stay instead.

there is a cathedral stuck in my throat
stained glass. depictions of a love i’ve
never known. no organ’s echo. no
whispered prayers. a longing that
transcends this mortal realm. trapped.
sinner seeking emotions not meant for
dirtied hands.

~K.T.

skinny dipping in summer’s warmth
big toe first. birthmark drowning
beneath the blue. hip dips
submerged. lapping waves.
not quite home, but something
i can sink into. breasts bare. a
sigh before the smothering scorch.

~K.T.

getting ready for work, again
which means my teeth are brushed
but i’m lying down. begging the clock
for more time. missing a bed i haven’t
yet left empty.
