1. why write: it's like when your lungs need a full, complete breath every once in a while. and no matter how quickly you inhale, you will have you stop and pause and inhale as deep as your chest allows. and you breathe and you breathe and keep going until your chest aches a little, but your lungs are full to the brim and it feels right. not good, just right. also, like, why the fuck not?
2. aesthetic: wobbly knees. smeared lipstick. lit screens in the dead of night. licking the blood from hangnails. moving on. trains going home, both ways. scars. girls finding themselves. me finding myself.
3. the process: write the same line again and it may mean something different. write the same line again until the poem becomes a plea and the plea is all you got.
4. the moment right now: this song, that makes me want to cry and cry. I'm thinking of change and what it means and that I need to start packing and how scared I am. I'm thinking that fear hurts me in the stomach, like a twist. like a surprise and an apology all at once.
5. shortcomings: short fingers. impulsive. the opposite of forgetfulness.
6. a writer is: someone waiting.
