Literature

unstoppable, unsaid

we are honeyed with the rays of our summer. i have never been so green with love. our hours wean with the passing of the heat but there is time yet. so still we twine together, your hands heavy on my hips mine splaying the small of your back. ours is an unstoppable, unsaid promise as wide as the solstice is long. our summer is endless forests soaking in the sun, warmed bodies tucked together on beds of moss.

Literature

Sink or swim

He stood on the dock One foot reluctantly planted The other standing at the ready Like that fleeting moment Suspended in mid-air Gleefully anticipating the water on your skin Yet apprehensive of those undiscovered depths Which have yet to be kissed by sunlight She dove in head-fist Through the reeds and the icy darkness And watched from below As the light fragmented Along the rippled surface How stunning it was Even in the deepest and feared unknown Especially there. In the light and in the dark There was only him He watched as she held her breath Shackled by his own mind Wanting for that planted foot To be freed from its hesitations

Literature

deluge

you swept over me like a sudden summer rain, your thunder echoed in my ears as your whispered words of endearment settled into the dimples of my cheeks, warming them with the dying rays of a hazy summer sun; and like lightning dancing in the heat your calloused hands danced across sunburnt shoulders until the skies turned an inky grey— and I was drenched.

The Long Road

I said I love you more than anything Then I woke up in the back of my car. But that's ok because the cold can't compare to the chill that's crept into my heart. I couldn't end your bad habits, However much I would protest. Every time I caught you shooting up, It sent a needle through my chest. There was just no way That i could stay When the factories closed down. But it kills me that your daughter needs my help Then she wonders why I'm not around. So i dream of the day When i drive so far away, That we never cross each others mind again. When suffering would fade into the distance, And the most broken of hearts would mend.

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

stormchaser

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
