I love trying on eyes
like peeking through stolen glasses
some rose, most are blue
others have a drink inside
your eyes are my favourite-
-ice blue, shapeshifting green
with a gold ring trapped inside them
a taunting case display, for
all the girls who find it
No. Never fit for your sweet little
finger. But, my God! How pretty
you would look if you could break
a way inside I-
-linger in the nook of your neck
another place I don’t belong
and you keep gulping seconds
from my glass eyes, red wine
missing your mouth, wasted
stained by your white button-down
But! at least your hands are
clean.

No Plus One
It's nearly one AM and I just got back from my third wedding of the four in this last month alone, and I have always been alone. I hide behind my camera to pretend to be useful, hide behind a safety net of skill set. So I do not have to confront the loneliness that is sleeping alone when everyone else seems to have a partner to crawl into bed with. I love the time spent with those who decided I was worth the 30-plus dollars per plate they decided to spend on me, and I do not need to have a partner on these occasions, but it would be nice to have someone notice, me. See when I am in the corner because they know I need time to recharge and to kiss me on the head until the time has come to leave. Maybe that's the problem about being a professional storyteller, I dream of something that isn't meant for me.
