Winter's death rattle shakes out its indecency, / and I am eager for the scandal of light / to constellate my body where hurt once puckered and dimpled.

We're always more wrong than we think. We always forget / how history never really roosts once it's buried in a page // and shoved on a shelf. That bodies remember what souls
forget.

i love how you have to whisper in a library. there should be more whisper-only spaces. speak softly if you must speak at all

It's not peace I want—it's bruised knees at the altar of your freckles.

Therapy is just realizing, "Oh, I can do that?"

Background image a view upward beneath a tree with a dark brown trunk and branches and orange and amber leaves. A white box in the center of the photo contains qupted text that reads: "September has mellowed whatever there was of roughness in her heat: the days are more perfect, but less vigorous. The summer in fact is on the wane; peacefully fading like some brilliant spot of light. The colours of the sunset are everywhere." Quote is attributed to Virginia Woolf, A Passionate Apprentice: The Early Journals 1987-1909.

The thing about me is I have been a wax melt in too many balmy hands; sought protection from bodies that only saw me as prey. #poetry

First spooky season read (from August): "The Invocations" by Krystal Sutherland. 10-word snapshot:

Queer. Witchcraft. Curses. Helpful(?) demons. Murder. Girl power. Necromancy. Ancestral lineage.

Highly recommend as a witchy read this fall 🔮

One of the best poems I’ve read all year.

by Jeremy Radin

What a beautiful piece! I wanted to linger in this world awhile 😌

A Day! Help! Help! Another Day!

—Emily Dickinson

Not me quoting "Interview with a Vampire" to my therapist during an EMDR session. (In which adult me tells teenage me, "I'm going to give you the choice I never had.") 🧛🏻‍♀️

Half a dosage down in reducing my meds and feeling all the feelings. Suffering...but happy about it. 😅😭🥹

I think of heartbreak like sticking a pinkie into the spindle
hole to wind the pulled-loose tape taut and expecting it to play
the same as it did before.

Most of your writing will never see the light of day. But neither do diamonds until someone digs them up. Keep going, little goblin.

I am not as honest as fresh snow, and you'll never forgive me.

Rewatching the Harry Potter movies. Honestly, I'm surprised the Dursleys even let him have glasses. Also, I have so many questions about the house in the middle of a stormy ocean.

I pour my coffee slowly in the post-apocalypse glow and dream about the moon. 🌙

But what if every time I visit a city, we don't meet up for coffee - we meet up and get tattoos?
