I’ll kiss you for all your troubles

moleskine, moon, caravaggio

Moleskine: What's your writing/art process?

gosh i haven’t written in forever but usually it’s something like this: i always know the first line, i always know the last line. I just have to find what lies in between.

Moon: Do you often spend time alone?

I’ve spent more time alone this year than ever- I each lunch by myself and i hardly go out. I’m well like and I have lots of friends but i’m very finicky about who i spend time with. for me, connecting with other people has to be brief and intense. talk to me about your shame, your favorite childhood memories, what items you keep tucked in the back of your closet. everything else feels shallow.

Caravaggio: Who is your favorite artist?

I’m lame and i know nothing about art so I’m going to go with my gal Tracey Emin. As a poet, the juxtaposition of text and visual art has always intrigued me. I love her confessional stuff, and Everyone I Have Ever Slept With still does things to my chest.

top five places you spent time in 2014

1. Theres this drainage tunnel that runs under a street in my neighborhood. Its all hidden by willows and I go there when I need to escape. We all need places that belong only to ourselves, places that need no censors.

2. A park in colorado, sitting on a bench swing with my girlfriend. Milkshakes, rain, a lone deer, and more tenderness then I could touch 

3. The art room of my high school. Finding someplace where I can feel safe without having to feel alone. My art teacher, bless her soul.

4. A fire escape in New York City, the top of a building looking out at the city. The dust and cigarette butts and bare skin beneath my fingers. That roof with crazy temperature problems, the girl on my lap.

5. Collectively, all the art museums I've been to this year. Here's to expanding myself, unfolding my soul.

top five songs you'll connect to 2014

1. The Trapeze Swinger, Iron & Wine I spent countless nights this summer crying to this song. Theres just something so tender, so gentle about loss. Different parts of this song apply to different parts of me- I'm a dreamer, alight with misery and want and uphill clawing. There's something terrifying about the trapeze act, those moments when you're in the air with nothing to hold onto and all that space to fall. I just want to be remembered.

2. Biting Your Tail, Iron & WineSomeday we all want nothing / and all forget that we'll get whats coming / someday i'll say the world was something / that we just couldnt change 

3. The Motion ft. Sampha, Drake Everything I write is either for or about herDriving through Colorado, falling in love in the passenger seat. 

4. Reckoner, RadioheadBecause we separate like ripples on a lake shore / in rainbows In in love with that one line. The sound somehow captures the light that i've been feeling inside me and it spills it all across the floor. so much light.

5. Birch Trees and Broken Barns, Caroline Smith and the Goodnight SleepsThis song could've been written about my childhood. He was the King of the Aspen Trees, I was the Queen of the Creek. I listened to this song as I drove to my old house last october, revisiting old haunts. I still mourn the children we used to be, knowing they'll never exist again.
