won’t you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life?

– excerpt from Lucille Clifton’s “won’t you celebrate with me” from Book of Light, 1993.

yogi’s haiku

in savasana
thinking of all the things
that I forgot to do

on intelligent women

“What fun it is to talk to an intelligent woman, wearing stockings as she crosses her legs, making little static-y sounds.”

– from White Noise

My hands on the wall
making finger print hearts;
headphones,
a vibrator.

you haven’t lived
until you’ve googled
“how to remove your IUD”

pain that only a
window should hold
— a poem I wrote in Junior high
