Strawberry banana pancakes
Tres Leche
Butter pecan syrup
Splitting a combo
I'm telling you about my middle school boyfriends
Under the bright lights of a pancake house
I'd never been to
You look at me with such wonder
And grown man charm
I feel as incredibly beautiful as a rare
Art piece in A gallery
God's finest masterpiece
You ask me to read another book with you
And I wonder how of all the
hours I spent
Hellbent on understanding men
By reading romantic literature
And here you sit across from me
A romantic character
Who admires me for all that I am and was,
And may still be
Safety and spontaneity combine
You text me when I get home:You are so incredibly beautiful 😍�

Veil of Subconscious Awakening
Images slide behind my eyelids like film cadres, bursting with meanings. In one moment, I’m speeding down the highway, making the speedometer swing wildly like a frantic pendulum. The next moment, I’m plunging from a falling plane, slowly crashing earthward. At home, I meet black cat’s green, googly eyes staring at me from the cavernous hollowness of the kitchen. When I turn for a moment, it disappears, and all I can see is a pair of blue suede shoes set up against the wall. I pick them up and put them on. When I glimpse at them again, they’ve become black as night, making me blink and flinch.
