a letter to all the half-girls:
you hurt and i hurt.
you wonder and i wonder what all the aches and pains and sorrow is for and whether, in the end, if it will count for anything.
you know and i know that while physical pain can do without the emotional, the emotional pain brings the physical with it so your stomach hurts [...]

passing by
there were wild times among the family where we spun and laughed and cried and broke apart and mended.
strong moments that speak in flashes of sensation, not stories with beginnings middles and ends.
we were invincible in our eyes.
sleep didn’t touch us.
the world opened up for us and we walked to california without stopping, just singing [...]

temporary
in the prime tanning time (10-2 according to my mother) i was laying outside in the field for doing such things. beneath: two towels, the greenest grass, tiny curious spiders. above: stretching upandupandup sky, the shadows of growing leafy things, my eyes. relaxed, they watched for the moutains, the bluegreen mysterymountains that came instead of [...]

a bit of blather

No baby. No problem. (Rantvegas)
Since when did everyone get so judgmental when it comes to the decision to NOT have kids?
I remember high school when girls would get pregnant and all the whispers in the hall would turn towards her belly, her relationship with the father or supposed father, her due date, her promiscuity, whether or not she would [...]

alone
The way I planned it, rain only touches my fingertips.
The complicated smell of earth and wet wood infiltrates.
The gray sky is sponge painted in careful swirls.
The growing things are too green with hope.
The rain (pain) is patiently quiet,
background noise,
but growing louder.

Where am I?
The tears crash familiar to make salty tide pools between my breasts,
in the curve of my collarbone,
down my arms,
into my mouth where the memories swim,
unable to breathe the strangeness of the air.
The cracked whiteness of the ceiling lets the uncertainty in,
marring would-be smoothness with black rivers,
gray mountain ranges,
erratic and thirsty veins departed from my certain [...]

out in it
the indifferent stillness of summers in their heated dark times draws me out of the man-made coolness into the naturaleza:
yellow lights staring calmly out from stranger houses where i
imagine broad-faced glasses filled with strawberry wine
someone told me I ought to picnic with it, kiss
you with it that made my mouth sticky sweet,
nectar in a seductively [...]

the stupid in-between time ~ tales from the fuckfunk

let’s cry a little
I was driving home from seeing The Other Boleyn Girl and eating large amounts of breakfast food at IHOP with Kayla last night. I had called Andrew twice and nothing -probably playing videogames I decided; he hadn’t gotten much of a chance to do that when I visited last week. Or is it now the [...]
