Tesseracts & Time

A girl and her chaos.

I will no longer be using tumblr for writing and have moved to a more "writer friendly" site.

It was your poetry that brought me and it's your poetry that anchors me.

The Lady Wasp And The Stinging Fate

You broke into my house (a vagrant of sorts) and terrorized me, your body as your weapon, but I captured you beneath my jar, above my slice of cardboard, and I exiled you to the porch where I could watch you forever. And yes, it's cruel. And maybe you came here in search of a soft place to die, I don't know.

But I’m sure you chuckled when I blew smoke in my eye and it stung.

Pretend Pigeon

I'll shit on the shoulders of passing strangers, extend my wings and tease the wind as I descend towards the hat hiding the kind woman's age (the one who will feed me from her mysterious shopping bag), careful of my friends already grazing from the concrete fields on Liberty, and then the pitter patter of tiny foot branches crossing the street between the white lines just to humor the saddened motorist at the site of a pigeon being human except that I'm only acting because how can I be a pigeon if I'm brown, not gray?

Lost In Greenfield

There’s a place in the city that you must have run off to. You’re never right where I left you - turned away from my palms, making small, gentle noises as you sleep.

No one in Greenfield had your mouth or your perfect hands, according to the deer that is.

The Car Crash

[loveyourchaos]

I am my mothers daughter, all the good and all the bad. We both bruise easily.

The Alley Cats

For the longest time I thought the only way to the park beneath the bridge was to jump. The day I found the road that led there, I was crushed.

Mental illness needs a warning label

I want to be a rain drop and dissolve into the pavement and feel salty and be stepped on and then get sucked back up into the sky only to come right back down again.

Maybe I’m already doing that though…fall, dissolve, fly, repeat.

It was worth the cold weather

I wondered if you could see my crooked smile in the dark the night I told you what the waves within me pushed to the shores of my mind.

Soft breathing, gentle tension, your hands fitting perfectly….

You’ll always be my favorite scoundrel.

I’ll come for you,

promise.
