“Follow my tracks, see all the times I should've turned back”

[shotofgin]

Relying on the kindness of strangers that you will be forgiven How many times, how many times will you shit on what you're given? How many times, how many times 'til you shut up and listen?

Hands and hearts that ain't got scars, they ain't worth holding Songs sound better on rusty strings Worn-in leather feels good to me

[...] I hate it I hate the way you're always right I hate it when you lie I hate it when you make me laugh Even worse when you make me cry I hate it when you're not around And the fact that you didn't call But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you Not even close Not even a little bit Not even at all

❝WINTER FEAR Is it just winter or is this worse. Is this the year when outer damp obscures a deeper curse that spring can't fix, when gears that turn the earth won't shift the view, when cloud won't lift though all the skies go blue.

Kay Ryan, 1999

❝THE DAUGHTER (...) I unfurl the ribbon of her life, and it's a smooth long hallway, doors flung open. Her surface is a deflection is why. Harm on her, harm on us all. Inside her, my grit and timbre, my reckless.

Carmen Giménez, 2013

❝THE FINAL GIRL (...) call him my killer, our killer. To distinguish him from the killers other (...) have faced, ostensibly. But there's a peculiar sort of ownership there—my killer. The killer who sought to kill me and failed. The killer who killed me, and no one seems to realize I'm dead. My killer.

Shira Lipkin

❝KIN for Bailey, Shielding meaning from the big ears   Of overcurious adults. (...) I hear again the laughter    Of children and see fireflies   Bursting tiny explosions in    An Arkansas twilight.

Maya Angelou, 1994

❝WE MANAGE MOST WHEN WE MANAGE SMALL Managing as thin light on water. Managing only greetings and farewells. We love a little, as the mice huddle, as the goat leans against my hand. As the lovers quickening, riding time. Making safety in the moment. 

Linda Gregg, 2008

[shotofgin]

❝WIDOW That is the fear she has —the fear his soul may beat and be beating at her dull sense Like blue Mary's angel, dovelike against a pane Blinded to all but the grey, spiritless room It looks in on, and must go on looking in on

Sylvia Plath, 1962
