Do you ever wonder what trees think about when they die?

Poem by Halle Preneta — 8/10/23 Sometimes my body feels like a useless hunk of metal clanging around in your garage Sometimes my words feel like mini tornados wrecking through your neighborhood Sometimes my life feels like sand crumbling in your hands Sometimes the world feels like a huge ball of fire no fire extinguisher can put out Sometimes I feel like hollowed out bones laying in the street Sometimes living feels like clinging onto ropes that burn your hands

My love for you is bare branches on shaking trees

Maybe there is hope living somewhere in this world

Poem by Halle Preneta — 6/20/23 In your laugh In my laugh In the glitter in your eyes In the kiss I receive on the top of my head In love, the one thing people are trying to get rid of in this world But you can’t have a humanity without love Because without love, we are only bare branches on shaking trees Ready to collapse onto the floor below And if no one is around to hear it, Did it ever really fall in the first place?

They say depression is a monster

Poem by Halle Preneta — 5/28/23 This huge, overbearing, dark, fuzzy creature to constantly fear. But it isn’t. My depression is static electricity. It is the hairs rising on the back of your neck, the shaking of your hands, the prickling fear on your skin. It buzzes like a bee…

I know some queer people may hold a resentment towards straight people

Empty Vessels Make The Greatest Sounds

Poem by Halle Preneta — 4/15/23 Why do you keep knives to cut out our throats? The scars you gave us lay inscripted in our arms, inside our souls. They are the script we use around people like you. “Yea, she’s just my … friend. Good, good friend … “ …
