About Me

My photo
I'm not a graceful person. I'm not a Sunday morning or a Friday sunset. I am a Tuesday 2AM, I am gunshots muffled by a few city blocks, I am a broken window during February. My bones crack on a nightly basis. I fall from elegance with a dull thud, and I apologize for my awkward sadness. I sometimes believe that I don't belong around people, that I belong to all the leap days that didn't happen. The way light and darkness mix under my skin has become a storm. You don't see the lightning, but you hear the echoes.

November Memories: Superman



"He comes and he goes. Para kaming year round Christmas lights, on and off. With him, I realized that age did matter. Especially when you were 22, and he was 17 ...  We were just on the phone a few days before his birthday. I got him a basket of blue roses, his favorite, and throwing in the last stem in his funeral. He was just 23."

This month, he would have been 39.
