: Raving

"Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—"

Take me down, ebony-backed, 

throw my shadow to the floor. Twist my soul

from its rest and I, complacent Nevermore.
"That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour."

I doubt— If there were such a word, I'd shout

my tongue forced to your core.

I shake the ground you thought so firm, 
irk the future from its form, 
Thrust my selfish expression 

toward moments stolen from before.

You safely travel out the door, say,

’Tis the wind and nothing more!”

-The Raven, E.A.P

: ode to Csikszentmihalyi

Your wildest dreams are your best ideas. 

Trust them.

: lofty

I discovered how to act like an adult

this morning. I paid a small bill

I discovered how to dream like a child

last night. I lived in Fever

Become your discomfort
as you inflame yourself.

Oh, my mother was right again.

We're all just growing wild to freeze what's already been frozen.

: matte

if he had worn a coat, no
a jacket. what's the difference?
fuck it, i sing when i'm sad.

thumbing at sore fingers,
thumbing at winter, i sing
through cracked lips and heels, through
a static mess, warm chocolate.

it hurts to be heard
laughing from across the ocean, i know
i know. those big belly laughs,
unearthing our abs beneath layers

of coats and jackets.
your blue wavy eyes, i crouch upon
your brown brow and
just barely wet

my feet
preferring pools.

: with an "i"

A story seems purposeful, predictable.
A story can shake a cycle

when read, especially when recited. So recite.

I love to learn
I know nothing.

Every day it comes down,
more and more it comes down, until

no matter what, it all comes down
to exposure.

This is the part where language breaks and chance

takes off it's clothing for an eager audience.

All we want is to be noticed

but all we can control is what we notice and how

we take more notice of what we've already noticed

and re-notice, and re-notice.

: visceral

the hardest is neither
your space in the bed, nor your things
on the things chair, neither your socks nor stray hairs
it's the impression you left

in all of it. as if you're returning
later today, but today will last

a season. so i wonder, will we see more days
that last seasons in our years?

then, and only then
i may learn to lend
your impression to the space

between time.

: mesofacts

it must be hard to choose

a faucet from a room full of them

without a sink to set it apart

as it turns on

and so its hard to choose

a lover from a room full of them

without a sign to set her apart

as she turns on

but it isn't hard to choose

a light from a room full of them

without a sky to set it apart

as night turns on

: elicit illicitness

i'll buy something very quickly, run
my purchase right down the middle of a second
to bury its permanence
sometimes i'll wear a shirt right out the door
by law, pulling its tags for the thrill only
to present them at the register
like a good girl

licking envelopes slowly
has become a corporate thrill, not
because of it's suggestion, but
because it's 2015
and no one fucks
with a wide rule or bids
on the postal service to carry their meaning

it is by custom we sit
in the den with our shoes off and
think almost nothing of the senseless itching at our soles





meditation on il•lic•it, for•bid•den

: diamonds of the dustheap*

you look so good in everything
you do

everything you do looks so good
On purpose

you handle, carry, look out
for objects as you 
handle, carry, look out 
for selves

tell me if I take care 
On purpose
will my objects and selves last longer in your hands?





*V. Woolf

: cacao

Of course there are instructions
for  How to load
                                   a dishwasher
and How to cook       quinoa
and How to expedite the ripening of an avocado
But what is currently out there on 
       How to mean better?

What I mean is,
       How to be less mean when meaning 
       How to learn if even I mean my meanness at all?

Resolve to mean with intention, 
touch with attention, 
reclaim energy lost to retention

And finally, to never suggest
        You know what I mean,
As if You should already be Versed in 
        How to load, fluff, ripen
                                                   without my instructions.
