“You aren’t depressed just because people aren’t responding to your texts. You aren’t bipolar because a movie is making you happy and sad at the same time. You don’t have an anxiety disorder because you have stage fright.”


I’m a rose-cheeked heiress

Pale and exalted as a cloud

Sagging with rain

I pour onto the shoulders

Of a farmhand whose back

Is bronzed and bent

Hands calloused 

Hair slick and shining

Threadbare shirt and dusty sandals

Romantically works the fields

She swipes her brow

And I sigh into the earth
