We are from a time
neither of us can remember
ageless glory, unspoken
delicate steeples folding within
Your fingertips write fragments
of poetry on my palm
a language I have learned
over the many days speaking it to you
We are echoes of each other’s bodies
your drumbeat voice in my throat
we are two halves of ripe fruit
that splits as it hits the ground
The same radio frequency
vibrating between our fragile little heads
I could not fly before I met you
now I never leave the sky.

Recent accomplishments include a Brooklyn Poets 2021 Fellowship. They have previously been published in Sixfold and Sapphic Writers Collective, and have work forthcoming in Anti-Heroin Chic.
