My favorites were Pulse and La Llorona Comes Over for Dinner.
“What does a mouth hold but secrets”
“I traced shapes in the fogged car window while he ordered drive thru two carne asada burritos and an extra large Coke I loved him that much I loved him all the way up that fucking slope & drop”
“I lay in a bathtub of goldfish unlearning the way the world loved me too tight or too narrow bright as the orange spirals peeling belly button kneecaps earlobes I never learned to love back properly”
“The trade off of losing anyone is love on either side”
“boy with bright pink parasol boy across the street who comes over to play with my daughter’s dolls I keep him safe while the neighborhood thrums”
“the boy across the street has found a dress that fits my closet hums he is humming in my closet his voice is sweet”
“Once I fell into a river but wouldn’t drown If limbs are made of splintered oars & hearts of apple blossoms this world’s for me”
“She wants you to remember those hills are volcanoes that they are sleeping & sleeping things wake up”
