You found faith but you chose to doubt it. You found love but you left without it. Now you don't want to talk about it.

I’m sorry that I would have willingly ruined you and him and her and I for just one kiss, separated by an ocean, impossible in its magnitude – pointless in its timing

This is what it is to be complete. It is horrible.

INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE who are simultaneously GIANT DORKS are my ULTIMATE WEAKNESS

Recently I’ve been rereading poems I wrote in high school when I was SUPER deep in the closet living with my homophobic mother. I was so in denial that I had even managed to convince myself I was straight. Reading these poems my response is mostly “How the FUCK did I not know?”

Example:

“I don’t want you. You’re a woman.

With smooth hair as long as mine

and a neck joined to a concave spine with flawless china.

I don’t need you to keep me alive, don’t need

your lips on my skin to revive

this threading pulse, don’t need

to imagine touching the line

from your shoulder to your hip that has no flaws

to divine what I desire from existence.”

So what have we learned today? 

Artistic expression is great.

Were it only that simple to reach up into the heavens and draw down a phrase of perfect clarity, beaming luminously sharp like burning magnesium from between one’s fingers: this is this is all this is what this is true

Women in suits are my kryptonite

Genius, I dreamt that you kissed me; we stood in a dim kitchen, it was snowing. There has never been a silence more silent than that unreal moment, the hum of the refrigerator, your dog’s nails clacking on the hardwood, the clocks of cold white earth subdued.
