My bestie

Always got my back

Always there for me

Never stays on track

My bestie

I’m myself when I’m with her

We’ll sing so loud to see

Who can sing better

My bestie

Who won’t put on a dress

Who’ll text me something funny

And make her lunch tray a mess

My bestie

Getting Starbucks is a staple

We’ll go get some and with glee

Head to Staples

My bestie

We never fight

Those sleepovers you see

Always there for me

No matter what

Sacrifices her happiness

To ensure mine

Doesn’t care if her heart gets broken

As long as mine is whole

Kind and sweet

Funny and snarky

I put lilies in every room and then I lit the house on fire. Trix would've wanted it that way.

As the floral blaze licked its way across the cedar walls, I sniffed and checked my watch. 3:48 am. Plenty of time.

I wandered around the neglected front yard, with one eye still on the fire, my mind's eye scanning for a plan. Once the fire had been properly fed, I would need to find Marcus. Tell him ...

The differences between us

They’re black and white,

they’re brutally gray,

and here to stay

Me and you

The things you’ve faced

You found jewels laced with poison

You found love that came broken

Your heart became frozen

Nothing went as planned

And then you withdrew

I don’t know anything about the

poisoned,

broken,

frozen,

pieces of you

I don’t know anything about you

It’s so differe...

For a while

Humans were rude

Based on your look.

Dogs

Were never that way

Poodles didn’t bully dachshunds.

Now

Humans have learned

To be like dogs

And

My grandmother, Setsuko, has lived many lives and made many fresh starts. I’ll start at the beginning. She was born in 1930 in Osaka. Growing up in Japan and as a girl in the Kumami family, Setsuko’s childhood felt like a dark time she’d never escape.
