I like summer receding /
the birds fleeing /
the warmth letting go /
​the sun taking refuge

I was born on the day of the dead /
on a bed laid with coal /
not a saint nor a soul /
can remember a word that was said

home /
is where /
my heart /
is broken

the /
best things /
in life /
are not /
gluten-free

a journey /
of a thousand miles /
begins /
with a single /
misstep

love conquers /
​fuck all
