in August of last year I posted a Jack Spicer poem (scroll up from her reply and read it, it's good) on here and Nori replied with this a month later she was gone that's why I put this in the book
a dedication page in a book. text reads:

for Brighid. love you, bitch.

for Nori. may we all find shore

Queer Poetry Salon @dorothydownstairs

good morning
every week is fat bear week if you're not a fucking coward
love letter to a former crustpunk
I was not made for a 9-to-5
what if we kissed...?
dimples
run girl
the long
slow
season of becoming
the color of their eyes
the worst thing I've ever been called is 'strong'

c'mere 😘

let me

let me be a tear
shed by the moon
falling into the sea

let me be a song
sung quietly under your breath
on the long drive to work

let me be a photograph
found on your phone
from before everything happened

let me be a sweater
that smells of daisies
for you to bury your face in

let me bring you
some small comfort
in spite of everything

my hot take is that everyone on the outrage train this morning with nothing more complicated than “country music SUX” while we’re still mourning Dolly should a) log off for the day and b) spin some Andrew Sa and/or Olivia and the Lovers on this fine fall Sunday

#ThisFuckingGuy Cynical racist piece of shit sellout mayor who barely escaped Chicago without being indicted. As a national figure, he’s obsessed with berating Dems toward an imaginary “center.” Do yourselves a favor now: If you see him on your TV, change the channel or turn it off immediately.

thinking about this one today, given the state of the skyline
the cruel and the proud

they’re calling for death
to all the faith-breakers
and the merchants of desolation

to every petty tyrant
making their mortality
into everyone else’s problem

to every tech billionaire
and every parent who preferred
a dead kid to a queer one

to the cruel and the proud
and everyone who could’ve helped
but didn’t

but most of all
to every single
motherfucker

who told you
you were hard
to love

unsurprisingly, therapy was A Lot I think I’m overdue for a break from close connections with avoidant people. I can’t feel responsible anymore for healing someone’s wounds— whatever it costs me— only for them to abandon me once they’re feeling ok again
