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

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.

as the sun settles into the earth
I think of you
the contour of your lips
the sweetness
the way its caress lingers

hours, days, weeks, months

years

lifetimes
