“they wear fake faces plastered upon faces of pristine skin and spill hypocrisy out of their mouths through the cracks of their strong teeth
the way I think about it is that if everyone knew the truth of what was really going on
the ugly truth of what they are a part of
of what they are condemning
they would not understand”
— Philo excerpt, from Philo and Other Poems
“unveiling the view of the night sky
the stars glittering
where city lights do not pollute
the cold
end of the night
air”
— Starlight excerpt, from Philo and Other Poems
“I am still silently hoping that time is not cruel
that time has not played a game between us
and has already reserved an eternity for us
to love each other”

“You are like the snow
blanketing me in your beautiful white
I have said you smell like the rain
now the season has frosted you
you smell like the trees, the burning fires”
— Strawberry Lodge, from Philo and Other Poems
