To St Petersburg

I apologize for my falling in love with another. Atlanta has accepted me with arms open and gave me what I have been looking for this past year. Please forgive my indiscretions with an open hearted man.

St Pete boys took me and tore my heart apart with empty promises. Atlanta has given me new hope for possible love and a new start. Please do not take this personally. It is me, not you, my dearest, St Petersburg.

Your True Patron,

Gregarious Muse

Happy Birthday to Me

Today my mom called and yelled at me.
Some days I really wish I could disappear.
Possibly melt into my bed.
A time out.
There is a transition from childhood.
To the adult.
I used to wish things would move faster.
Now I am crying for them to stop.

Tomorrow is my 24th birthday.
Let us hope this year comes with brakes intact.

Inspired by fall

Dearest Dilettante,

Let us conspire an evening of debauchery and mayhem.

Yours Always,
Gregarious Muse

Yesterday

Thrift stores are filled with items still holding past scent and story. A tingle runs up my spine and out the hair follicles. Passed from one life to the next, with each owner giving a part of themselves. The possibility that our belongings steal our yesterday and give us a stranger's in return.

Orange

it's oils cover my hand as I penetrate the skin. liquid pouring from wrist to elbow. mouth to chin. my tongue lapping with little shame or track of time. satisfaction guarantee.

One Word

HARDLY

hardly enough time to talk about this my dear. yearning. left to my mind. give me more. my thoughts make their own conclusion. satisfy my urge. don't push the door. i will move. leaving you. drop. broke. on the floor.

Summer Kiss

When you kiss me
Call me
Momma
Baby
Star

The feeling of summer heat
Hit me
Leaving no pain
From past love

Some how now
Clean Slate
Like a little girl
Tree climbing
Sun dress
Skinned up knees

Light on you

You hated me in purple
Dear
I often hid behind my eyes
Do you see
beyond my fixed up exterior
Babe
You left me gasping
clawing for feeling
steel casket
lacking air

I wish I never knew
how to make peas
