“haul boogie”

i saw all the beauties of love were glorious, unnerving, painful that nothing was done slowly without caution.

that it had to undergo a thousand losses & a thousand goodbyes.

——a thousand bubble baths accompanied by smooth jazz and cigarettes

—— a thousand slow waltzes, naked with the blinds open

—— a thousand lines of poetry, sitting in the sunshine at the park

haul boogie, no brakes.

i cared for you endlessly. meeting in a time of pandemic and uncertainty. seemed like a lifetime when it was only a wink of an eye.

it went on forever & forever was incomplete — far from perfect, refined, or smooth.

haul boogie

haul boogie

haul boogie

i always cared for you

i hope you find what you’re looking for

& get there fast enough.

Why is it so easy to tell a stranger about a personal and traumatic event that’s happened to you? My little sister just carefully read my newly printed zine and I must say I am thoroughly embarrassed!!

Blowing Coat

When I first met you you told me "I want either a dog or a girlfriend."

4 years of half-assed puppy love and barking up the wrong trees, you never told me you loved me.

Momma said the only way to keep a man is to put him in a cage, but I kept you on a shoelace.

You bark your head off and wish to be let inside because of the snowstorm you ran out into.

You scratch on the side of your dog igloo:

"I am my own dog"

I Dream of July

It’s winter— 5:32pm. I don’t turn on my headlights because I wish it was still daytime.

I go to your show and see them waltzing away with you to the car.

You turned the headlights on.

How much do zines go for these days??

a warm bath

it’s time to take back our bodies

to a special house

there’s a warm bath running

we can rinse off the dirt from the night 

scrub away the unlawful touches

and lather in self-love and contentment 

shave our legs for the dresses that weren’t too short

smooth lotion over our backs that wont turn again

we can gaze at the night in which drains through the basin: grease, makeup, wrong-turns, and no’s

we can rise like steam from the tub and be clean like never before

we were never dirty but

there’s a warm bath running

Wordpress is so different now since I’ve been in college SenD heLP

I’m trying to recreate my portfolio and Wordpress is incredibly complicated now. I’m using the free version and I just want to make separate pages to organize my work but I’m not even sure how to do that now! 

I just want to kick-start my career and I’m feeling tremendously discouraged with everything at the moment.

I am such a huge fan of kindness. Everyone be kind. Be crazy kind. Be kind even when you don’t feel like it. Be kind in the morning, be kind late at night, be kind like it is the only thing you were put on earth to do. You will be amazed at how beautiful kindness makes you.

Writer’s Block

I’ve been having the worst writer’s block and I don’t know what to do. I dream of writing as a career but it is so so so very hard. How do I get published? How do I get out of this rut? I haven’t posted anything in months and I have nothing to say...

Пыльцы

Yellow ashes fall from the trees.

Budding flowers, but you wont look at me.

Pollen haze and swollen eyes from pulled weeds.

Disregarding me is like a bee sting.

Dandelions bloom in the April sun.

Pleasing you is easier said than done.

Plucking wildflowers one-by-one.

They’re all for you, yet I receive none.

Overgrown lawn and grass stains on knees.

I’m forever yours, but you never truly loved me.

Cliché ??

Yesterday my boyfriend told me that the title of one of my pieces was cliché . 

This was a title that my past professor (highly looked up to author) named for me! She told me to publish that shit too because she loved it so much.

Anyway, my boyfriend got mad at me, because I couldn’t take constructive criticism. NOTE: He didn’t even give me more feedback to make it constructive all he said was that is cliché. 

This being said... how do you go about someone thinking your writing is cliché, especially when it comes from someone you hold nearest and dearest to your heart plus coming from the same person that you want to be your biggest fan???

It’s so!! Important to remember that many of us turned to this website to write because we can’t find the support for our dreams outside of it. Kindness cost nothing: support fellow writers and guide them if you feel they made a mistake. it’s really as simple as showing awareness of another as a writer and a human being
