divorce court haiku

all the sad chicks
circling divorce court
kinky haired toddlers
paperwork

gimme my wings back haiku

benevolent wing clipper,
the persistence
of ordinary life

Just knowing without understanding
the parts of me that cannot
be colonized

Clothed sex, are you really worth it?
I am learning
to braid my own hair.

“I used to live in a glass house,
all I ever did was wave.”

how many tattoos
lay congealed at the bottom
the Glassell Park pool

She is very proud
of being unreachable by phone;
mason jars.
