I want to cuddle with the good girls
and misbehave with the bad girls.

Angstxiety

I am work weak on Wednesday in a heap of hangover and hesitation with fingers on a phone haptically actively anticipating feedback— I need that why do I need that. My angst and anxiety is constant and courses and throbs with a pulse that demands concern of a baby boomer crooning poetic in the distance to call me antisocial, or you know, you could just call me. If being this busy in an age of constant communication feels like having slept but not feeling rested, I'd rather cancel my plans like a responsible millennial and go to bed.

playing my emphases like harp strings your voice smokes thru the oaken bramble pour a carbonated apology, a sun-stained mile marked envelope, two ill-fitted birds, hands small holes right before a rush of river what it feels like being swallowed from the outside crushing rings into truth serum, pretend to be out of tune with that deception I have been unable to parse my own persona a pink cotton voice I remember thru the phone I remember because it formed me into a granary one crop after another of patriarchal idioms whisper my secrets so softly into a glint of red hair a saucer-eyed lace pattern cut into pine paper I practice radical self lo

Apocalypta

Dawn breaks soft, You are sun glare in the rearview; and I, the heavy mist ahead on a road that forgets to end.

the ghost

I don't know what I'm waiting for, because I am a ghost and yet I sit on my hands and wonder where you've been - I walk the forest in circles, the methodical crunch of leaves beneath my feet and I remember that you made me feel small, and alone. here I am, facing this brilliant hue that is me and myself and I am the ghost but somehow you are haunting me.

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave
