to my mom,
for hiding poetry where I’d find it
to my ancestors,
for nothing grows without the roots
to my sister,
for being everything right with the world
to those who inspired it
and will never read it
and to the one
who taught me unconditional love
(you know who you are)
contents
dedication
a note from the author
to the things that make you
dear self,
dying art
soul ties
life’s choices
words i wish i heard
vow to self
wo(men)
a confession you’ll never receive
returning to love
stranger love
still
brown-skinned girl
mirror reflections
may tomorrow
timeless acts
day two blues
welcome your healing
eclipsed existence
honest progress
half & half
soul quest
one-sided love
i forgot to tell you
the prayer
mirror confessions
worth the wait
a note for your rising
clarity comes in the morning
seasonal souls
people aren’t homes
i named us grief
survivor’s guilt
self monologue
i’ve learned
damaged expectations
epitome
what a time
take it or leave it
turtleneck summers
flow without force
signed, the phoenix
acknowledgments

for every breath i take,
