self discovery isn’t always
about the most convenient ways
so far i have burned, learned, and yearned
the unexpected, the unusual, the unknown
when i said i had a thing for chefs
i never knew i meant
alphabetize your spice cabinet
pour lemon drops on my lips
watch them
burn between your teeth
are leaving marks on my skin
lovers i carry summer storms in my heart
i know the type of water that is
utterly, completely, an satisfyingly
perfect about the way i live
this completely unpredictable life
the way my nails are accented with dirt and action
nothing about me is clean
everything in me is pure
