Im writing poems again
I love yet
I loathe yet 
And speak with her yet of beautiful things 
of justice, of branding honor on the tongue, 
of burning cowardice in its own hell 
of brandishing words like a butcher’s cleaver meeting blood, and bone, and sinew
of holding it tenderly yet at my own skin, 
at my own breast as she holds them, 
the fisherman, the moon, the dove
I love yet. I loathe. 
I cry yet, tears at her feet and hold her dearer still than ever 
Oh she, who has been there, in aeternum 
Oh she, whose silent covenants provide, on borrowed breath, the veins of hope, the strings of life. Oh, blessed protectress. 
I love yet. I loathe. 
and I beseech yet your mercy

just a poem because I am just a poet:
We don’t want to die. We cry. We love. 
We want.

FREEDOM

We cry—people are dying.
cry—we love each other.
cry—there is a better world, free from tyranny, oppression, and neighbors slaughtered, and taken, and minds, and hearts turned stone to the tune of tv screens, podcast bros, and owned by the almighty dollar news.

The cries of the bravest ring loud past their last breath. We do not want death. We want to cry, to live, to love. We want.

FREEDOM

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

“Disturbing” “I couldn’t eat after reading it” “Truly horrific” “Crawls beneath your skin” “The cabin scene…” “I’m going to throw up” Hinterland, my debut horror novel, is making people sick to their stomachs. As intended 😏 #book #novel #horror #author

Also wanted to say, the success of and general reception of films like Sinners and Nosferatu is truly giving me hope for art and humanity. Vampire movies truly always save us but also and still and always #teamvampire (now, invite me in) 💀🪦🥀

Pop stars go to space in fancy rockets for 5 minutes, call it perspective, kiss the dirt when they return. And in their streets, their tombs, the poets roll over, laughing, crying, loving, holding the weight of all the heavens on the tip of their tongue.

Apparently (allegedly) the algo can’t handle a little fictional mythology laden scrotum ink by the sea to poetically express the possessive sentiment of “MINE” (giving Goddesses in male fields x The Scarlet Letter) so you should read about it in my book.

My account on insta almost got suspended because the algo (allegedly) apparently can’t handle fictional ramblings about a fly losing its mind while becoming a mad scientist’s (Dr. Frankenstein by Black Widow) perfect monster/man creation so you should read about it in my book.

I think age makes the poet unbearable because everything either becomes poetry or becomes something that is at war with it.
