on the loose

on the loose

don’t pigeonhole me
try to pin me down

ask where I’ve landed

don’t tell me pick a lane
and really don’t tell me to

stay in it once I pick it

those days are over 
I’ve been uncaged

the world is my oyster
just like Ms. Zora said

and I don’t know what 
that means exactly

but I aim to find out

Happy April! Happy National Poetry Month! I'll be sharing poems on IG all month long—from my books, new ones I've written, and some faves from other poets as well. I'd love for you to follow along!

I’ve also got a SPECIAL DEAL on my books THIS MONTH ONLY: buy jaded for $20 (U.S. shipping included), get unbelieve for $6. Let me know if you’d like a signed set for $26!
