how to abandon ship

clasp your hands together
renounce cowardice
decide it isn't giving up
believe it and jump
the water's colder
than anything you've ever felt
but your heart 
your heart beats so fast
you think 
you might come alive again
you think 
you might even swim

Poem for Monday 🍂 Keeping Things Whole ~ Mark Strand —This is always the case. Wherever I am, I am what is missing —
In a field
I am the absence of field.
This is always the case.
Wherever I am
I am what is missing.
When I walk
I part the air and always
the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body's been.
We all have reasons for moving.
I move
to keep things whole.

The versions of me that have populated the year thus far all weep different. I weep for who I lost. Sorrow in sunken sunken-sins shadowed so slow and smooth. An unstable ego echoes resentment. I am not ok. Homeostasis eludes me. Acknowledgments. #PoetrySky #MicroPoetry #MentalHealthSky #vss #Dark

Quarrels



The muse has left me,
tired of my whys and my hows.
The muse has left me
for I wouldn't let it use my eyes. 

The muse has left me,
layers hurled, calling each other dead.
The muse has left me;
its absence crushes as it spreads. 

The muse has left me
with its scent of minor key and migraine.
The muse has left me,
imprint of fingers meant to restrain. 

The muse has left me
but won’t drift too far from home.
Nothing creates itself from nothing,
nothing destroys itself alone.

Ampelopsis brevipedunculata

I can't 
help it

but will
I must

someone shove him
on my behalf, I'm busy
so busy it's exhausting
I'd rather be such in
other ways, by you

bite
me

you
know
I know
you know
you want
to so do
it— no

Phylica pubescens #poetry
Phylica pubescens

Some poems don't ask to be written
but demand through shaking hands
and teardrops disappearing down
into the pillow case overdue for washing
and the lines don't look nice
nor split into stanzas because
the body keeps the score

And as I write it
in hopes of educating
survivors or people who never had to
I realize it's ineffable

Remind myself I'm safe now
covered in your blanket
and 
put the poem down

Falling asleep but awakened
upon realizing, then forgetting

Then another tear and thinking "fuck it"
recalling the terror scraping at my heart
at the verge of climax, then release
blissful for a fucking moment then followed
by tears of shame for fucking decades
because of men who sexualized me as a kid
and that idea of stolen purity turned into
a raging reminder of what we're fighting for
