our energy burning hot
guarded close to the heart
we talked until our tears
dried. the monsters by candlelight
walking the walls pushed
round by the wind
in a hopeless place we
made a pact sincere and fought
like hell #katyamills

423am
run on 4 hours sleep
ice cream for breakfast wash
it down with house coffee they
dont paint a great face they wont
talk too much smack they aint
buttoned up in the finest fabrics
they just work hard a long day
ahead and they mean it
sincerely #katyamills
fiasco
its serious
she been seeing things again
someone got roped into a fiasco
someone needs saving
she tells him but he dont believe
hes looking for an angle
a tenderness to attack he
wants to start a fight
playfully

bastille
i stir the dregs
with boiled water and write
simple lines expressin
how it feels to be
alive

mile 10
they found the old locomotive stuck
ina dreary railyard
ten miles from country meadows
arranged some flowers in
her smoke stack rang her passenger
bell a couple times on a prayer
she might live again

deseo
breaks away like a tormented soul
within the heart of a wild horse i
talk to it carefully like a child
honestly. you cannot have we
cannot afford it. here. come with me
let’s go outside and run. maybe
make friends. we cannot
have and better without

mi gatos
hiding under blankets
listen to momma liquefy
oats ice bananas
green and brown eyes with
coffee spaced out super
perdidos obsessed by
birds #katyamills
they (don’t) care
they don’t care
what you may think or say or
feel. find something you love
put your heart in it and
never give up
#katyamills
cat and bird
blondy and the black cat
brothers contemplative for hours
on this high balcony
only a mouthful of feathers
will end the procession
of cans
#katyamills
trans kids
like frozen planets they
lived long in darkness with space
they fell into orbit waiting
for the sun to inhabit
they potential. centuries
away long since learned the art of solitude
to free up they water
and colors
