New Year, Almost
It has been a while, yes indeed. I'm not sure if anyone even checks my journal to see if I post anymore. How curious to think that nobody might. How interminable are words if they reach nothing ( Read more... ) -
Throw Your Harms Around Me
Wasted like
paint that can't be unpainted only painted over
trumped by a neutral colour
invisible in its similarity to what surrounds it
yes perfect that pattern that wallpaper
matches up perfectly thank you
spend the rest of my life trying to sync up with what is behind me
cornered in the sparseness
of it

Goodbye Fool
Walking by what used to be empty graves
Want to lay face down and wriggle until I sink
Dizzy rocks falling in ringlets around my throat
To kick a toe into an anthill is preemptive

Y'know, around this time every single semester, I vow to myself never again.
Five essays due this week (4 of them on Wednesday). Then three exams next week. Then I'm off to CIS dealer meetings. Whee. -
Easter Poem- warning: religious imagery
The Body
Bread slices are soft bodies that could crawl into your eyes and die there and they do.
While leaving the grocery store on Good Friday,
the automatic door is half a second too slow, and I pause for a moment before going through it.
I stare at my reflection, and I can see the bread rising in my eyes.
It doesn’t look like me.
I have to remind ( Read more... )
