“When he puts his mouth against her shoulder she is uncertain whether her shoulder had given or received the kiss. All her flesh is like a mouth.”

Hey everyone. If you'd like to buy my first poetry collection Clean Afternoon Love then you may do so on Amazon. And if you have any questions or comments about poetry then feel free to message me.

Thank you all so much,

Blurb I had to write about this collection:

These poems are funny little things. They don’t take themselves too seriously. They shave and shower and brush their teeth but totally disregard the anxieties that seem to plague their cousins. Somehow they fell immune. Sure they might not get straight A’s. And they sleep well beyond their alarm clocks, but they walk without shame or guilt or worry and go through this life happily, like the glad idiot who unwittingly makes the world envious of him; these poems shed light inside his life. They fall asleep when their heads hit the pillow and prefer the simile to metaphor.

"Vulnerable Again" from this collection:

THINGS TO TAKE:

Your time

A nap

A walk

The compliment

Your energy where it’s valued

Deep breaths

Your power back

Your inner child by the hand

Nothing personally

A chance on yourself

It one day at a time

Up space
