the girl with no country

the only thing that matters is the understanding that everyone matters.

but i, being poor, have only my dreams; i have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams. - w. b. yeats

if i write for you, do you think you could read it? savor the words carefully chosen just for your eyes, your ears. for i am personal and i am illegible, in all manners and parts i am how you choose to see me.
These might be dandy
I follow these kids

What kind of mother tells

her children stories of

a man killing his own son?

(my ears closed hands

tugging the book from the 

shelf hands tearing pages

cleanly out hands flipping

the broken binding into a 

dark space it will join the

peels and old paper)

I won’t tell my children

of such things.
