Maybe magic is just love. Maybe genies are what love would be if love walked and talked and lived in a lamp. The wishes might not come true the way you think they will, not everything will be perfect, but love will come because it always does, because why else would it exist and it will make everything hurt a little less. You just have to believe in yourself. Look your demons right in the eye.

Today’s poem is “Twelve Dancing Princesses” from Francesca Lia Block. If you were a girl in the 90s, you may remember Block from Weetzie Bat, and this poem was the most Weetzie out of a collection of retellings of myths, fairy tales, and fables. From the lovely A Midsummer Night’s Press. . . #deadgirls #francescaliablock #amidsummernightspress #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth #apoemaday #twelvedancingprincesses https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kVvTvgTNF/?igshid=wps1scujkuer

Happy Halloween! Tonight I’m going to be dressed as a steam punk version of one of my favorite characters, Witch Baby🧶 from of my favorite books “dangerous angels’ by @francescaliablock / I remember being about 13 or so when I discovered the ethereal book cover featuring a fairy-angel of a midsummers dream, I remember being drawn by that and then once I began to read, I was hooked by the elements of magical realism in my hometown of Los Angeles, the 80s punk scene and a community of people exploring who they are, building a family in the canyons, and how beautiful it is to love ❤️ 🕊 it’s remarkable how books can touch our soul and inspire us to live magically 🧞‍♀️ ⁣ .⁣ ⁣ “They didn’t even realize where they were living. They didn’t care that Marilyn’s prints were practically in their backyard at Grauman’s; that you could buy tomahawks and plastic palm tree wallets at Farmer’s Market, and the wildest, cheapest cheese and bean and hot dog and pastrami burritos at Oki Dogs; that the waitresses wore skates at the Jetson-style Tiny Naylor’s; that there was a fountain that turned tropical soda-pop colors, and a canyon where Jim Morrison and Houdini used to live, and all-night potato knishes at Canter’s, and not too far away was Venice, with columns, and canals, even, like the real Venice but maybe cooler because of the surfers.” #francescaliablock #sweaterweather #bookquotes #bookflatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/B4S43P3AHzD/?igshid=1n65qoqjfe06b
