being as i am an idiot, and having been one my whole life, i just wanna say that i find it very easy to do nothing, and go nowhere. i eat chocolate late at night in the dark. i stand in the garden also. and i’m often waiting for something to happen. and i’m stupid.

Dust by Dorianne Laux

Someone spoke to me last night, told me the truth. Just a few words, but I recognized it. I knew I should make myself get up, write it down, but it was late, and I was exhausted from working all day in the garden, moving rocks. Now, I remember only the flavor — not like food, sweet or sharp. More like a fine powder, like dust. And I wasn’t elated or frightened, but simply rapt, aware. That’s how it is sometimes — God comes to your window, all bright light and black wings, and you’re just too tired to open it.

I’d die on the hill that “stranger danger” is a deeply unhelpful mentality to have. “Ooooh everyone is out to get me they’re all gonna perpetrate harm that’s actually more likely to come from someone I already know. I better never talk to anyone in my community who I don’t already know, just to be safe. I’m sure there are no other biases interwoven with this mentality” like oh my god human traffickers do not just randomly spawn in every parking lot. You don’t have to go solo hitchhiking across the country but you also don’t have to live in fear that every guy on the street is the knife man who’s gonna get you. Like have situational awareness, yeah. But most of the time the guy on the street is not knife man he’s actually just a guy on the street and he’s probably pretty chill, and you’re driving yourself crazy by living in a constant state of unnecessary fear.

Eliza Griswold, Wideawake Field

[violettesiren]

All day from the grove a chorus of cicadas. In the distance, a thunderstorm flashes

over the city through evening clouds, and one by one lightning bugs

signal their luminous abdomens to the opposite sex. A hot wind

pumping humidity across the low hills, into the trembling leaves of cottonwood.

July: crabgrass setting plump seedheads, tomatoes bending under green loads,

a plains toad staking its cool claim under the dog's water dish.

Somewhere in this composed suburb a couple will switch off their reading lamps

and turn in the gathering dark to face each other. Out in a farmer's cornfield

heated leaves will gradually unfold, admitting their heavenly gifts.
