I Got Up this Morning

I have too many hobbies... I love art, words, and am highly intrigued by human experience. Life is to be lived, and I strive to do just that. Here is a montage. Enjoy.

I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists: one where my heart is full, my body is loved, and my soul is understood.

HOW TO LIE WHEN SOMEONE ASKS IF YOU STILL LOVE HIM

Tonight I can smell her on you like a talisman,

a nametag, a grave marker. I wonder if she kissed

your birthmark, the dark red splotch hidden on

your inner thigh like a sunrise that jumped forty feet

from an apartment building just to splatter

into nothingness on the pavement below. I wonder

if she had to look hard to find it, and if you had to guide

her, until she touched it with her tongue.

When my mother’s now-ex-boyfriend left her in college,

she drank three cups of coffee every day-

morning, noon, and night, for every day that he left her

until the day he came back to her again.

For her, caffeine was a coping mechanism.

A rubber band snapped against a wrist,

a late night car drive at 100 miles per hour

just to feel something akin to losing control.

But tonight I remember the newspaper story I read

two years ago, about the young girl whose parents

thought she was pregnant, until they found out

a tiny octopus was growing inside her stomach.

And I realize that no matter how hard I love you,

like a pile driver shoved into my ribs at full throttle,

strength lies in burying certain feelings deep inside,

so deep no one can find them for years,

just like the octopus that made headlines.
