_{i'm falling into comfort with luna,
who is looking particularly lovely tonight.

i have watched the orbit change
and the media has told me that she's closer than ever
and she's making the tides drastic
pulling further away
before rushing in and engulfing the entire coast
for hours on end.

mother told me that some people feel the orbit
in their bones
and i'm believing it for the first time

cause its not just the ocean thats leaving me stranded.
you're further away than ever
and your head is scrambled.

its just luna.
i'm sure.

she's beautiful
but mischievous.}

leave me by myself

drowning doesnt always look like drowning. its quiet. small movements. and while i sat in the apartment surrounded by half packed boxes and empty wine cans, and the muffled sounds of office reruns and chatter in the kitchen, i understood that. i understood it, and i felt it in my bones and my blood and my way too heavy heart. i looked around, and saw all the empty spaces that should have your existence touching and filling them. The lump in my throat grew, the pit in my stomach threatened to swallow the whole lower west side, and my head just thudded, quietly but steadily as my eyes stopped being able to see through the sudden tears that r

A Walk with Butterflies

September is violent. It keeps its mild weather beneath bled clouds and branches, some splitting pears on sidewalk sweet like dumpster water, a brash disillusionment turned gold then red then brown: sixteen pinpricks of ooze sliding off rubber. I am violent: compressing image into seeds and imagining laws of creation, squeaking behind the name of Jesus, or maybe it was a fly birthed from rot, but he is violent: and September leaves to come again with a color, one I can't fathom.

conspire, respire

let me tie your hair in sinews let me wash it with matrix and cleanse the pyruvates waiting to be bound to me, let me string them together like photosystems in the lamella right across the street. we're complimentary, anti-parallel, anti- social, anti-everything but let me tie your hair in something bigger than what we have; this micro-world is no better than the milli- but at least in membrane-like folds of a scrunchie you'll have several (dead) parts of you close to the macro-world inside you. yet you are still larger than the hundred-hair-you-lose-a-day and nine-litres-of-water-bam-bam-gone and half-a-million-gone-to-waste- on-a-diagn

love letters to introverts

i. To the boy who prefers spending Friday nights at home: the world does not understand how beautiful silence sounds sometimes. As you crack open that book you've been waiting to read, or plug in your computer, or listen to music, or, or, or, or maybe just stare at the night sky from your bedroom window- (please) remember what everyone else seems to forget; that being alone does not always equal lonely-- and that sometimes no company is the best company there is. ii. To the girl who does not speak up in class: I was once you. You are not deficient, I promise, despite everyone telling you otherwise.

today

bailey says: today could have gone so much better if i had woken up without a cold sore. shania says: today could have gone so much better if i had woken up and not had bedhead. zoe says: today could have gone so much better if i had woken up when my alarm went off. i say: today could have gone so much better if i hadn't woken up at all.

the aftermath

the temple of her body was torn open tonight, desecrated and lit on fire. i swear, gods have burned and felt less pain than i do as i write these words down, because she’s crying in my bathroom right now and i have to go and convince her that the handful of feathers i have left in my palms could ever equal the wings he snipped off of her tonight. she will never fly again. she will never believe so wholly in herself again. her body is no longer a temple, her body is a landmine, an open wound, a thousand foot drop off of a bridge, a stranger to her. she will never again be able to trust her body, to know her body. this is not the first p

Sands and Tide

The tide is pulling, pulling away, I have no way to make it stay; The sand is falling, falling through time, I have no way to make it mine. The gulls are flying, flying away Chanting music day by day; The waves are pounding, pounding on, And so they shall when I have gone. But here I am with a sky above, A mind of dreams and a heart of love; Forget the sand, forget the tide, The water's vast and shoreline wide. I'm scooping sea-foam, catching shells, Wading depths to feel waves swell, Building castles in the spray And laughing when they're swept away. Yes, taunt me, time, go right ahead! Strive to buffet me with dread; You know where I ma

periphrasis

when he asked me how i wanted him to build the house, i answered him truthfully. i said i wanted the pillars to be made of pages from every book ever written, curled in on themselves until they could hold a roman arch. pour words, strong and weak, into the earth instead of cement- let it be flexible to adapt to pressure. build the walls from the ground up through prose supporting the bricks layered by memories forged along the path we took to arrive at eden. tilt poems into pyramids above our heads, ceilings just high enough to be within earshot of every laugh we'll ever make. empty emotions into a template of a window and slide it i

My Glass Carcass - September '12

Each red thrust of bloody lightning wounds the dusk, to weary night hardening… Amongst the shards of this glass carcass scatter the scars, of a shattered heart, hard against numb skies that crack and die. Chewing cords of fury in a furnace of poisoned sparks, time cuts too nearly the trysts with the dark. Truths old and rusted furnish a lost lust and love leaves in cold disgust with wearied trust… Mean scabs of memory by rabid keening torn apart... She clutches Earth in plea, in shocking dearth of he... But now a crusted miser clad in cynical sighs, the priestess whispers grey verses, then curses the light from her eyes.

You Can Keep September, As Long As I Can Keep You

September is a death row Sentence given to every Set of June lovers. September is an unneeded reminder That your best is not wanted- Perfection And conformity Are required of you. September is the smothering Of the last of May’s flowers- The one’s that fought for life Through July’s droughts And August’s heat waves. September is the first chill, The first sign that the Earth must hibernate Or else it will die during December’s frost. September is an end. September is when I met you And September is when You reached your much-too feminine Finger nails into my chest, Misleading me with the gentl

_{theres a supermoon tomorrow night.
and i'm sure its messing with people.
i hope its just luna.
and that when the tides calm
you return.
