Two Poems About Walking Uphill I think about how often I knew something was ending before I admitted it. Not because of a fight — because of a walk. Because of how someone held their body while they moved through a place with me. The world was doing what it always does — wind, heat, incline, distance. While something between us quietly shifted its weight. I often write relationships through the environment because it lets emotion show itself without being named. A gaze that won’t turn toward the ocean. A back that stays a few steps ahead.

The shoreline keeps receipts: salt, wind, and what we didn’t say.

Desire has an afterlife.

I wrote a poem about intimacy that lingers—long after the room goes quiet.
