Little Graves

my backyard is full
of little graves
grief love
and that thing I call
the past buried
already forgotten
I am now
lighter
full of lambent dawn
breaking
into a new day

She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts at Whittier College while still finding time to travel within and outside the U.S. collecting adventures. She grew up fascinated by the dark and magical, which brought her to her addiction of reading and fairy tales. When she is not creating magic on the page, you can find her playing the piano or curled up reading a new book.
