Friends At Work (In Snippets)

my favourite snippets of my existing poems from the ongoing series “Friends At Work”. for beth, kate, sienna, jordan and flynn. the rest are coming, I promise!

we’re different fonts in the same love letter;

you are bold and inviting,

driving the pen against the paper,

scribble your art onto another post-it

i collect and carry these bits and pieces of you

no words needed but we can’t stop talking

joined at the hip so we move as one

you know me before i know myself

we are one and the same

and yet i’ve never met anyone like you

i wish i could’ve been you at your age

you were once in a blue moon and now you’re a constant,

someone i finally get to know

tucked in blind spots and a bite of mandarin.

i’ll scribble my words here

and hopefully it means half as much to you.
