on this walk i watch the blue pine trees bend under the weight of snow, & i think, god is in that, & i think, you are in that too. in the sharpness of the sunset, in the tenderness of the robin’s footprints, in the sweetness of the river wending through the forest, i can feel your soul tugging at me as it prepares to rise. look up! you ask me, so i do, grinning in spite of griefs wanting to claim me. for yes, my hands are chapped & healing is a process built on inches, but you understood better than anyone the way winter means keep moving forward one step at a time. understood how endings are the same violet color as ink on a page drying. & how love will shatter the skylines of our hearts like a flock of dark geese lifting into flight, filling us with music. you sing in me now, as you always have. later when i crouch in front of the fireplace, blowing on tinder, i’ll imagine you, bright-eyed, rinsing a colander of fresh blackberries while your lover presses her lips to your temple & you mull over a poem half-composed. for now, it is enough to know that soon you will be nestled in the heat- shell of a brilliant star: running your fingers over the boughs of heaven’s lilac trees, laughing with your lover as you catch each other up on everything you’ve both missed, gifting odes to wayward angels who flicker past.

“The poem gets written. I have wrestled with the angel and I am stained with light and I have no shame.”

Relationships fail when people take their own insecurities and project them as their partner’s flaws.

I’m not used to being loved. I wouldn’t know what to do.

I need to escape from my body and my mind and my stupid, rebellious heart. I need my soul to distend from my body and float away and be free, To fly and drown and burn And feel everything and nothing at the same time.
