    So, it’s morning. Or maybe afternoon.
    There’s light pouring through the window
    and it’s got you looking the kind of
    haloed and soft you only see in movies.
    I’m only half awake but I’m already
    writing poetry about your eyelashes,
    can you believe that?

    In the mirror, I pretend to watch myself
    watching myself brushing my teeth.
    Instead, I watch you run your hands
    through your hair: again and again and again
    and again. More than once, I’ve seen the way
    you try to rearrange your body into negative space.
    Like one of those optical illusions—
    the vase with the two faces.
    You forgot you could be both of them. You forgot
    that when you lean too close to a work of art
    the whole picture blurs and disappears.

    A new painting: one with no negative space.
    You as steady hands and solid ground. You
    with a ukulele and a dog. Coffee and cayenne.
    Cheap wine and expensive whiskey.
    All that blue in your closet. You
    as the perfect first date and
    something soft to come home to.
    Bad jokes and good intentions and all that—
    light.

    Yes, light. Listen,
    so, it’s late. Or the time of night
    some people call morning.
    It’s dark in the car, but you laugh—
    I mean, really laugh. The kind that
    catches you by surprise and crinkles up
    the corners of your eyes—and it’s like
    a camera flash in a windowless room.
    It’s the best thing I’ve seen, all day.

    Every morning, the sun has to relearn
    how to outshine you. Sometimes
    even she is not bright enough.

    self care is also being honest with yourself about your negative habits and mistakes. it’s also taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. self care is diverting from a negative space to a positive one. creating light and balance. blooming. watering your own flowers. being gentle but honest with yourself.

    so take care.

    I tell myself, 
    that you are only
    a moment. How
    in this universe
    full of moments, 
    we’re just two stars
    that found the same orbit.
    I tell myself that 
    it doesn’t matter.
    if we fall out of love,
    fall out of orbit,
    stop chasing our heels, 
    stop touching each other,
    like sunflowers 
    are growing from 
    our skins. I tell myself
    that you are not the sun
    and I am not the greedy Earth.
    A mantra or a prayer,
    I tell myself,
    that it doesn’t matter
    if someday, 
    I cannot hold 
    the soft mass of you
    in my arms. 
    That I will 
    love you properly
    here and now. 
    What I mean is, 
    if we are a moment, 
    I want us to track through
    forever with our dirty shoes,
    and our suitcases. If we are
    a moment, let it be 
    now and now and now.

    Forgive me my grief
    that spans out acres.
    I have love the size of
    a church, & no one to
    give it to.
    Do I cut my hair?
    Do I harvest all of my beginnings?
    I touch my teeth with my tongue
    to remember the sharp can fade.
    Someone learns my name.
    I fall asleep.

    don’t let anyone tell you that it’s a bad thing to feel things deeply. a full heart is a strong heart and being soft doesn’t make you weak. being soft and loving makes you radiant. you deserve all of the love in the world and so many good things.

    I want to tell you I miss
    you with no subtext. No guilt,
    no anger, no expectation
    that you’ll fix it. I don’t want
    you to feel bad or to tell
    me it will get better. This
    is where we are meant to be
    right now – me apart from you,
    my hands a little empty and
    my heart a little sad.
    I just miss you.
    I wanted you to know.
