I’ve basically been adulting on hard mode for six months.Where’s my medal?Or my cupcake?”But instead of […]
Convergence
Inspired while biking downtown with my niece—watching salsa lessons at the outdoor theatre, yoga classes on the lawn, djembe rhythms echoing nearby, skateboarders rolling, and lovers strolling the sidewalks as sunset melted into dusk. I biked home under moonlight, thought about these things, and wrote them down. Some poems come as quickly as the sun […]

The Music Box
I searched in earnest, at last,
I found the box—
but not her, my beautiful ballerina.
I longed to see her dance again.
Music rose, velvet glowed,
my heart lifted…
but only my reflection gazed back.
And then—
