I rush to get my work done Less thought takes less energy Which sends me off to bed early I could spend the day contemplating The balance between Plato’s and Nietzsche’s opinions of “the good life” But the amount of energy it takes to develop that opinion is far too great It’d be smushed betweenContinue reading “A Precious Thing”

Electric Girl
My body travels at unknown speeds It tries to go everywhere all at once I want to wrap myself tight To squeeze myself between my mattress and my box spring Or get rolled out like a homemade pasta noodle So I snuggle as close as I can to try and tame my electric skin -Saschia
Let Me Love You
Take my hand and tell me it all The good days the misfortunes Some silly jokes the times you fought so hard not to cry Show me your belly laughs Please share these things because I want to love you All of you I want to know everything that made you You -Saschia
The End of the Day

Sticky damp sheets Wet streets And a soggy mind Thoughts Slowly round the bend I Slowly slip away Is this all part of the dance Or is the end coming near “Not til I’m dead!” The sun will rise. It will. And I’ll keep returning I’ll keep returning -Saschia
Just an Ordinary Day
The cafe had steady business. It just got all new furniture dark wooden tables and chairs. Every seat was taken besides a few that were in the middle of it all. Coffee scent stained my sweater and the scarf I wore in but realized it was too warm. I tossed it beside my leg onContinue reading “Just an Ordinary Day”
The Weight of His Kiss
He smiled then pressed his lips against hers and in that moment she knew she’d be stuck trying to understand the weight of his kiss for years to come. -Saschia
