beach bunny

by Rachel Lynch


the unbearable simplicity of loving something you have yet to encounter. we are two figments in each other’s phones, it’s easy to love what you have not met.

i turn the heat up, and you burn out. our ships pass in the night. i don’t often serve my intensity, because it beckons this result.

i am on fire, and i shouldn’t have to burn out to make your bed. if my passion is unsettling, then our hearts are not meant to be.

you cannot contend with a woman like me.

siren song

by Rachel Lynch


song of the siren as she dives back into the sea. in taoism, they say everything returns. our life is a motion of returning. so too does the siren return to her depths, she is never gone for long from her spirit and her strength.
