tell them that you fell down the stairs
they'll look the other way
and when the tears choke up your throat
insist that you're okay.

--depressed? oh, no! that was a phase
it all was just a joke
you were upset but now you're fine
you won't fix what ain't broke--

must smile when you want to cry
got to keep pretending
tell no one 'til the day you die
you've got to keep pretending.

i would like to learn to write poetry, but

to be able to do anything, that's what i want. as if i could do anything when everything's possible. i schedule my time in calendars, list tasks to pass my days before they can pass me. goals. fitness trackers. tick marks to take me there last night i got drunk again; my legs take me wherever, i don't know. and that's what makes it fun. i giggle a lot because it's weird to be out of your body, and things don't hurt as much when they hit, as if you were in a car that was driving you. i think of messaging my friends to ask, don't you think it's interesting that each person is infinite? and a strange infinity, so that all the infinite pe

Accept your Candle, Weep for the Stars

A light I see, far off in the distance. It's a star, I told myself. No other thought surpassed it, I want to reach it. I struggle in the darkness, slowly heading for it, not knowing, not thinking. I know this is what I want. I want the star. It gets brighter, I can feel its warm touch, though I'm far from it. Joy overwhelms my soul, I'm so close, so close to my star. It's my star and nothing else matters. I reach with my fingers, to touch it. A candle. A lowly candle, my thoughts shattered. This is not what I wanted. It's not my star. I blink, and blink again, I see clearly. Up above. There are hundreds, no millions of stars. Why

poetry i should not be writing at four a.m.

i will love you until it hurts and even past that, until my chest aches with the thought of your eyelashes and every bit of your life has been written on my skin. i will be your pillar of strength. i will love you after it hurts and after i grow numb and grow apart and we find ourselves on opposite sides of the country, like branches on a tree that grew bigger than we could ever imagine. i will keep your city circled on every map i place on the walls of my room, like a reminder and a to do list and a promise all in one. you have etched yourself into every corner of my brain and i have stopped trying to catch myself thinking about you because

eulogy (six months after the fact)

last night, i kissed away the memory of you, woke up this morning with someone else’s hands tangled in my hair, someone else’s sweat stuck to my skin, just so that the next time the grocery clerk asks me how i’m doing, i can say that i am recovering. recovering. like you are a drug, and i was an addict. like you are a drug, and i have gone half a year since my last hit. last night, i let a stranger press his bruises into my neck and all i thought about was whether or not you’d call me by my name if we met each other again. to be honest, i’m not sure i could get it all the way out—it’s been too long a

these bitter kids have sharper hips

oh, i am aching to pry apart this skull & meet the ghosts thumping at its insides. i'm just pining for a rib cage like a funeral pyre or a staircase; i want to bloom from these bitter bones & waste - (until i'm the corpse sleeping in the casket)

because i'm like a relapse (of you or youth)

baby blues cannot cure suicide agendas. all these poets do is wither, wither, waste - decomposing bones just enough to trade them in for words & kill them cell by cell & conversations bloom between my tongue & teeth or two choice vertebrae; thoughts burst like blood vessels, like self disgust (i am more catatonic than i am catastrophic).

it was a broken sense of beautiful

his smile was like dust caught in sunlight; more like a dreamy state of being than reality, like the half- remembered yesterday that still haunts your memories because you didn't want to forget how it was just so beautiful -- we'd lie on the floor with slats of light shot across the ceiling, drinking in the atmosphere with windows propped open by books and yellowed pages, and by the time we wandered into sleep, we were drunk instead on the smell of roses -- he was a broken kind of beautiful, a beautiful kind of flawed; love-letters, anonymous and never sent littered the dusty floorboards beneath his bed, memoirs of what we were bef

Tolerance

It is often said that tolerance is necessary in a free and democratic society, but there is considerable debate about what tolerance is. One standard is that tolerance means putting up with others and respecting their basic rights. Others regard this as insufficient, and consider almost any expression of negative attitudes on the basis of factors such as race or religion to be intolerant. The focus of this essay is religious tolerance. This is the form of tolerance that was most significant to the founders of the United States. It will become clear, however, that religious tolerance is not as special a case as it may at first seem. Religious

Will you ever love me as much as I've loved you? We went through so much together. We beat the hard knocks together We laughed together We played together as kids We did so much for each other Why did you turn away? You stopped walking my way And went your own way Could this be heaven or hell I could never tell If you actually loved me Or I'm just another crash dummy.

all my friends are dead

When tension pulls my tight warcry loose and my Evergreen throat is strung up in your Dark chest where I ran the red light / I killed the girl / I put my shoes away Small things make me ache for you When you sit in the driver seat with the door open and I do not Take the space in your lap When you lean into my ocean and I Wash over you but That is all Your careful jaw and open wound mouth I could rest there I could rot you away I could wear out my comedown In the shadow of you loving me I could be born again Like any Used girl mountain passed between Any tree in Crucifix Valley could be you Any penance in tenderness Any doubt in b

Slate Blue

Slate blue clouds cloak the dawn, crepuscular rays creeping round the blockade to wake songbirds and squirrels. The mill house wheel clacks and tumbles; yeast rises like a whisper. Only the blueberry thicket knows that the taste of sunlight keeps the bread warm.

but where is the blue

You know how to be just skin. You know how to remove every molecule of air. Every molecule of the unknown. You can nail yourself to the juniper trees. You think you will. Stab through every callus with peels of that ragged bark. Your back to the gnarls. They catch fire so easily, you know.

Gnossienne

You never told me that you play the bass. Some stories I hear over and over again - Xerox computers, meeting well-known authors - but others I learn haphazardly, stumbling into tidbits and details like a newborn fawn - a junior year spent living on pancakes; a car accident; animating projects in the early days of Flash. You never told me you play bass, piano, guitar. And I worry - what other talents and footnotes are buried too far in the past to light up on my radar? What will I learn about you only after it's too late?

So this was waaayy overdue, mostly because I was trying out stuff with meter and rhyme. I didn't even do it that well

I'm still not happy with the number of stanzas but I really need to be done with this.
