Amateur

Everything seems                switched                upside-down                backward                twisted. I am     an amateur. I am     new at this. I am     the beginner. It’s probably      not as big a deal           as it is in … Continue Reading

Translate

(I think) I am           too      in my head           today. Regardless of the medium                     or method      I can’t figure out how to                translate                     anything. I lie back      in   the       blur           … Continue Reading

Jumped

Experience      is not           on my side. I question      whether           I’m in the right spot      whether           I’m the right person                     for this. I’m excited     anxious     worried     freaked out     eager     … Continue Reading

The memories resonate                    play in my head again                                     and again. And they replay,      as the emotions                    force      their way                                       to the surface.      They … Continue Reading

Gears

Sometimes it seems like you are spaghetti-ing                                            swirling                                            talking in circles                                            reaching for a point. But I have come to … Continue Reading
