October 2023 – The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic

Poem inspired by Breanne Randall’s The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic

In the sunlight like little promises
you've never been one for change.

There was simply no way around it,
the dark things–they become too real.

A fucking menace to gravity,
love was everything.

Her hazel eyes
keep counsel with their own secrets.

Do something  in spite of fear
there's no plumb line for being ordinary.
