i wish i could go back in time
and see my younger self
and warn him
that it would only get worse

On your darkest night
you won't ever be alone
I'll be by your side
let it out, let it go
It's okay
to cry
you can let the river flow

I've traveled around a bit
I like the Pacific Northwest
San Francisco Bay
Qualyxian Quest

This library is quiet
Math for my son
Tired. Exoplanets!
Maybe Trappist 1

      un pequito fun

You strike that flint
With a mineral ball
You tinder fire
It's not special at all.

Someone once said
when you're happy
you enjoy the music
when you're sad
you understand the lyrics
and that just
makes
sense
because when you're happy you don't worry about anything
but the sweet melody breezing into your ears
and when you're sad
you focus on the deeper things
the real meanings
the connection you missed before
the words

I don't burst into tears
I fall into tears
silently
gracefully
like a practiced maneuver
like a missing piece falling back into place
I fall into tears
like they can somehow protect me
