Things I wrote when you weren't paying attention, dated Sept. 26, 2019

Things I Wrote When You Weren’t Paying Attention is a collection of poetry I began writing in 2016, often while in the company of men who liked my presence more than my depth. The words in these poems weave flits of fantasy, fragments of attention, moments of longing, and the quiet reckonings of a woman refusing to be unseen. They live in the spaces between conversation and observation, desire and reflection, capturing what I noticed, what I felt, and what I held when no one else was watching.

you caught my eyes and I watched as your gaze shifted to my left collarbone
you lifted your hand and began to outline its presence
while I just stood there, coming
undone
