With the sweetness of June still on my lips
Begging and pleading, is that all there is?
July came and left like a fever dream
I can’t even recognize the version that is currently me
The salt runs down my cheeks
Instead of the ocean that used to cleanse me &
I have never felt so landlocked while being lost at sea.

It’s the last days of August
I’ve been given thunderstorms
To soothe this Florida soul of mine
Two full moons to harvest intentions
That I have slept on
For far too long
A train trestle that crosses
The Savannah river
Beckoning me to follow
A suffocating heat
That takes my breath away
Whilst begging me to stay
As I step into September
Shaking off the ghosts.

October
I am ready
Fuck this
Complacency
The gnawing
Doubts
That rob me
I have left ashes
In my wake
Burning
What no longer
Serves me
To become
The woman
I desire to be
Honing myself
For this reality.

Walking the moonlit street
I said to you
Coming home
Doesn’t hurt like it used to
Confessions in the
Red room of The Saint
How we learned to swallow
Our ghosts
Before they devoured us whole
Knowing we wouldn’t change
A second
Because it brought us here
And isn’t that
The beauty in the pain
That we now know
Living
Is so much more than just
Surviving.❤️
