THOUGHTS LIKE HAWKS

"My thoughts are such hawks.
But my words? Baby birds."

THOUGHTS LIKE HAWKS is all my very own writing (unless noted otherwise). Don't worry, I don't think I'm hot shit. This is just a way for me to practice writing every, every day. Either way, I'm sending my voice off to float in this giant expanse of internet. So thanks for listening, if you're there.

Ode to the Working

I have discovered

That my soul’s been hiding in

The knot in my back.

The Deep Blues: A Whale Song

Scrape at the barnacles

On my skin

And feel the vibrations

Of my call

This is all

I am and have 

To offer when 

Home is everywhere

And I am a vagabond

And feeling so small.


Fizzle out

Your heart like a spout

Don’t wish for an echo

In the basin just let go

and find what you’re really 

about.

are nothing but specks

Sympathy finds me

In my room with Self-pity-

And leaves with disgust.

Every Single Night

at a loss for words at the moment.

There are wood chips in my bed,

And that stretching, prickling thread,

That reaches deep in swift pursuit,

Tangles ribs, and bones, and root,

Is making me a weed with feet-

It can’t be pulled,

It runs too deep.

(MAJOR Work in Progress)

By the end of this summer,

My hands will be raw-
