Hi, welcome.
In these poems, I’m trying to name the space between don’t and don’t stop — the place where wanting someone leans closer than dignity permits. These lines hold the moments when restraint is about to fail us, when memory refuses to loosen its grip. If you understand, it’s because you’re already inside these poems.
From the pull of Arrested by Your Gravity to the tender burn of That Will Leave a Mark, and the bittersweet ache of Wish I Had Never Met You, these pieces live at the intersection longing and truth.
One more thing, please read them out loud in polite company. We all know what it’s like when stepping closer to someone makes us forget how carefully we were holding ourselves.
These poems remember that for us. ❤️
