Last New Year’s I talked about big things happening, and being excited to see how things would unfold. I was right. In 2011 I fell in love, I turned 18, I graduated high school, I moved to New York. It’s hard knowing that I can think back to a lot of days and remember exactly what I was doing one year ago, and who I was with, but that just means that 2011 was a beautiful year filled...

The beauty of what u love.The audacity of why u love. The fragility of when u love. The glory of how u love. The singularity of who u love.

A Little Rain
I thought I came out here
to pray for a breath,
but my hands are Harding’s
errant swans and they tripped
over my edges
like young lovers
casing loose landscapes of flesh,
seeking the slopes to establish
that unique caress;
careless in ritual, ten spindles
lit me a cigarette.
The sky’d gone full of clouds
that went...
Fuck the Roses
and the nights with stars in them, the winds
and trees fucked and that was last
night. I think
Mondays are the holiest day because
we suffer through them
because
we are dug up
out of sleep like ugly turnips, with white
and purple faces, our
dreams wiped away like the sticky soil
because on Mondays
I hang all days on a clothesline
I stop and fuck the roses
I stop and feel the...
In our mother’s womb
I stretched a place for you.
There, on the living walls,
I scratched you secrets,
left them behind
in the muffled roundness
where I watched my own belly become
flooded with rose light.
But I am the only witness
to the beautiful taut skin
of our mother’s snug inside,
the place still stretched and waiting.

In order to seize
the light from the curtain cracks
sprawled across your desk,
peel it from the top
without letting your shadow touch
and wrap it around your eyes like a blindfold.

Tell Allison I’m sorry.
Last night I watched a girl of five years cut ants in half with a little yellow knife. She told me I looked like a lion and when the strangers came asking after her, she told them she was keeping guard over the little sweltering blade; she said I would have cut more ants that she was cutting this time. She has nothing to do with this, you see, I just thought it so lovely...
The light sifts through the clouds, which are cosmic puddles,
splashing under the boot of a giant, who I think must be dancing.
The thought tickles me deep, so dormant laughter boils over –
not unlike the kettle, I sing shrilly, but with gusto.
I can’t remember who told me, “it’s easy not to believe in god when you are surrounded
by manmade things.” The world has too few stones to make
a ripple...

I wish I had brought my book of poems by Jeanann Verlee home with me. She has this one poem called “Holy” that embodies a special sort of friendship perfectly; it’s the kind where time doesn’t matter - time in individual instances as well as time in general. When you can go months without talking and feel like no time went by and learn a million knew things about a...

So proud. So, so proud.
As I landed I saw indigo and orange and magenta and the ocean and beautiful mountains and green and traffic. Oh, the traffic. LA, how I’ve missed you
Standing in front of the Yale Vanderbilt Club in NYC - what an interesting crowd of people.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

In exactly 24 hours I will be headed back home<3
What a glorious feeling to be done with all my work, and with that I can properly tumbl about the new objects of my affection - Sarah Lawrence’s very own Vocal Minority. I literally died and went to heaven listening to those boys sing.
Tonight: latkes, packing, and a blues show.
Tomorrow: LA.
The world is mine.
rage run rampant through my tresses
rage cling like dirt wedged snug behind my ear
rage hum a delicate crescendo violent
second,
third,
fourth jab of violet knuckles
dancing sharp under the soft of my skin
oh, what a lovely dance it is
knees bent like broken branches
