If I were to build a woman
from my dreams
she would be you
But we both know that dreams aren’t real
even when they do come true
Dreams don’t have to obey laws
like gravity or ticking time
There’s no law I wouldn’t break
when loving you becomes a crime
Love is not an empty word
an empty thought
an empty dream
Love is an unruly beast
that’s feeds on gold and gasoline
If I were to build a dream
and fill it up with
parts of you
We both know the dream will end
like you, my friend
and like me too

Named one of New York's Best Emerging Poets 2019, my poetry chapbook The New Normal was published by Analog Submission Press. My novel The Zoo was published by Cacoethes Publishing House. Other poems and short stories have appeared in Subterranean Blue Poetry, The Journal of Microfiction, and Sick Lit Magazine, among others. Other works include a staged reading of my play Digging Up John Barrymore, performed by Dreamcatcher Entertainment, and five albums of original music recorded with my band Late Model Humans.
