haiku #082709

the hairs on my arm
create a layer of glow
when the sun shines bright

check me out



this is my original biz card design -
inspired by libraries and dictionaries.
it all started by trying to think of a fun way
to show how to say my name.

sketches for my sweetheart...

these are from my old sketchbook.
i just graduated high school and moved to charleston...
i was writing haiku poems, chasing my first love
and discovering myself.

world's knife



I am a moth’s wing
transparent and thin
anxiously fluttering around
always seeking light
always seeking
but thin and transparent.

I have forgotten to eat soul pie
filled up on fake cake
so hungry for light.

I feel the side of the world’s knife
spreading me thin
until absorbed and unrecognizable
so thin
like a moth’s wing
seeking light.

pulp/clot

blood doesn't mean much
when it's juice you're after
sip. it. down.
pretend you're friends in laughter
in the end, if you can remember,
it will all settle down
become clear, disaster

i won't be far
but you'll get no reaction
two steps away
i'll go the opposite direction
cause blood is warm
boils to perfection
and juice will spoil
lacks the necessary traction

to keep you from falling off the edge
to keep you from falling off the edge
to keep you from falling off the edge
to keep you from falling off the edge

when you feel the slip
chew the pulp for flavor
it's all you get
the last bit to savor
before the fall
you signed your name on waiver
in juice, not blood
when you denied to save her

new song lyrics

vintage healing


my bandaids are still



dear you, fly me away



growing pains


my dear friend, walter, and i collaborated on this photoshoot.
these are a few from the collection.
they are feminine, honest and calm.
and i feel a bit lighter having shared my healing process.
