From ‘Correct Animal’ (2011) —Rebecca Farivar #poetry #poem #booksky
On Finding A Bird Skull

If she wants
To say bird
Not finch
Not starling
Not snipe

Let her

They all have
Rough tongues
Hollow bones
Heads
Made mostly

Of eye

A lil something new by me 🖤 #poetry #poems #poem
there will be no more
there will only be more,

of a bowl
of beetles & stars:
we dream

only when our bellies are full

MOUNTAINS

I TURN my back upon the mountains,
The lazy mountains
Sleeping in the sun.
They bring me peace,
A profound satisfaction with self,
A desire to rest always In the shadow of their beauty.
But life is short,
So I turn my back upon the mountains
And set my face to the sea;
The sea, whose restlessness
Spurs me to new tasks,
To vast undertakings!
Verily life is short,
And I would work,
Not sleep!

Reposting a stronger cut for #DVpit 🖤 just in case! TRUE DETECTIVE X KLARA AND THE SUN After a brain injury, Linda knows this: her wife is dead, her daughter’s safe, and the memory she relived during experimental treatment at a biotech facility isn’t hers. #LGBT #SF It belongs to the dead girl.

While undergoing an experimental treatment at a biotech facility, a queer, brain-injured former PI is drawn into investigating the murder of a biological AI child... and every so-called 'moral' choice? Might just be a trap.. #DVpit #LF #SF #OWN #LGBT
