apostasy

before he led me like a lamb to the altar, he got me drunk. take this and eat, he said, hands on my hipbones, soft thighs, soft sigh for this is my body - but he gave me no bread, only bruises, and he gave me new thorns for my head and i bled till sunday morning. tell me: who speaks of resurrection? are you there, mary magdalene? mary, when will easter come?

Literature

not a poem

my depression is not a fucking poem it is not just the grayest of grays or the darkest of nights or the boy who didn't love me its not worth any of those titles and i'm not going to make cigarettes look like medicine between my teeth just because i am sad i don't need to be told that the sky is beautiful or that the ocean is beautiful or that i am beautiful i do not want to hear about the millions of different colors that the sky makes at a certain hour, and i do not want to hear there is a tiny world trapped inside of my rib cage i don't need to be told that the universe cares and loves me deeper than my own mother i know all of these

broken fever

the first time a boy smoked too many cigarettes because of me, he became a man. he coughed my blood into his palms, tasted my iron & grit, his tongue finally learned the inside of my body. he clutched his chest and felt only my heart- beat. the pulse of a moving car is one akin to racing cattle or maybe just a fever the moment before its break. i do not know what it means to break; only to burn out like a brilliant star, or just another addict’s mistake.

things I never told you.

some poems feel like water. this one is more like sand, and I'm suffocating in the maw of a desert that was better left rusting its clairvoyance. it started one night when I remembered that I've kept everything you've ever given me: roses, faces, promises. I never really understood how to let things go, and when the thought of turning the things you'd touched away from my doorstep choked the poetry from my throat, I realized why. I keep reminding myself that I should probably be nicer to you, but I think you already know that I'm only capable of being nice when I'm cornered and out of ideas. and despite what you claim, you've never been

Literature

Unfathomable

I have been told that my eyes are like someone bottled you up and poured your color into my irises. Sure, it’s a lovely compliment, but I am not you. You are a child playing dress-up with your sister’s coats and frocks because you want to be something bigger; and she’s sweltering with jealousy that you can wear those grays and blues better than she ever could. You are an angst-ridden teen who dyed and spiked her hair to hear her mother scream, and no matter how many times she tells you that your boyfriend is a washed up good-for-nothing, you keep coming back to kiss the shoreline because you think that his love feels right

Something to love her back

I saw Gwen for the first time in God knows how long today. She looked different. She had two new tattoos and a new piercing and her face wasn't freckly anymore. She said she couldn't live without her foundation. Couldn't show her face in public without it. Talk about fucking paranoid. What happened to the tomboy Gwen I used to know? She asked me if I wanted to go with her to vote and I said sure, even though I wasn't registered and didn't give a damn about politics. On the way there, when she and I were in her car, she told me she'd been fucking a new guy lately. I said cool and asked if it was any good. Then she looked at me with this big g

Rest

Your brain might tell you You should be doing more! But more can sometimes result in less For quantity is no substitute for quality. Remember, clearly, that rest is never a thing of laxity. So long as you wake with a fresh sense of passion For what you wish to achieve. - Word of Chen

Literature

Bonding with the Spirits

To bind a spirit, one must know To see and write the æthers flow. To lure and croon them, ere they show, And thou canst bind them with a vow. The cleft of worlds might cause thee grieve, Yet overcome the æther’s cleave And pull a spirit from the weave. But sooth their fury, lest they leave! Nurse them, tend them, do them just. Obey; Revere them, if you must! Labor hard to gain their trust, Lest they shun or turn to dust. Once the spirits’ mistrust died, It freely will come to thy side, Its favor full in thee confide, Will grant thy touch upon its hide, Then guide thy quill, but show no fright! Fear they sense when

The Fifth Horseman

“I'm not saying they're not killing each other,” I explain. “I can see from the figures in front of me that they're killing each other. What I'm saying is that unless you can broaden your demographic, we're never going to meet our targets for this quarter. This is supposed to be a world war, Belgium and the Netherlands isn't going to cut it.” War squawks at me down the phone. It's hard to hear him over all the screaming in the background, but frankly I'm not interested in his excuses, I need to see results. “What do I expect you to do? Do your job! Think outside the box! Look, Famine is in Europe right now, why

cobweb.

i. i am writing myself into rooms, four walls, four loves, four atria pulsing in my chest. i am writing myself into other people’s arms as if it makes a damn difference, i don’t know when my own hands stopped being enough. ii. i am a girl made of oceans, i am a girl made of glass, i am a body made of wax with a tongue of fire. i have watched saturn drop through its ring, plummeting into glacial seas and frost-bitten remnants of constellations, i have seen silence take shape and sit heavy on my chest like a mourner splayed on an empty coffin. iii. i have written my obituary in a moment spent diving into concrete tee

When you feel you have lost everything

there are still books you haven’t read and clothes you’ve never worn hanging lonely in your closet. When you feel you have lost everything, there are flowers sleeping under the frost. When you feel you have lost everything, there is a place around the corner you’ve never seen from the other side of the door and a stranger waiting to welcome you in. When you feel you have lost everything, there is a corner of your house filled with dust. When you feel you have lost everything, there are stamps you haven’t used and windows that have never seen pure sunlight. When you feel you have lost everything, there are pennies wast

I love this. It hits hard.

I favorited this after those first two lines. I knew it was going to be great, and I wasn't disappointed.
