clenching fists and chocolate fish
and firing questions from the hip
and cheeks are bright like happiness
so scratched into the outer plastic
it says "girl you are fantastic"
kisses don't even need chapstick
i can love til my heart aches but
why can't i share in what's sacred
you found god in my self hatred
we just look so laughable and tiny
like we’re spiders climbing
underneath the cupboards
in between your clothes
the oven’s on
kids are calling out
to ask about your day at work
your husband says
“today i sold my car for a space hopper!”
sliced in half by automatic doors
my guts are spilling on the floor
my darling
meet in parentheses
can’t you tell that i am nothing more than
commas hanging off your words
buttons hanging off your shirt
i’m flying in reverse
i’m shimmering
i’m kites
i’m hummingbirds

Boundless My Heart
02:54

fear takes over me
when love takes my feet
and pulls me beneath
something big is coming my way
been standing in the
supermarket line all day
the children cry and
slammed fingers amass
in doors but alas
the hand stays attached
boundless my heart breaks into bone
tuna sandwiches
stacked up on the bench and the stove
needs some cleaning and
i think we need a
new vacuum cleaner
boundless my heart beats uncontrolled
opawa roads and the
notes saved on my phone turn to stone
it’s not as if any song
can make the lounge window close
it’s getting cold
but the crack in my head lets out my soul
in time to tell you that
i am the deeper
fall-into-sleeper

and if you think it feels like work
i'm willing to put the work in
and if you need a reminder
i'm willing to remind you
that i'm willing to put the work in

A Deep Breath
02:59
|

baby i've been breaking breaths
my heart is a step
to the door of regret
comfort is not defeat
i'm working all week
my hands and my feet
my tongue in my cheek
watching season 3
of recess alone
in a house made of stone
power cut to my TV
but in 1080p
my reflection is sitting there
just staring at me
last year i was 23
when you spoke to me
and my broken body
in my broken sleep
planet declares defeat
the missile ascends
we take a deep breath
and we hold it to the end
