genahtastic commented on the post, strung 1 day, 22 hours ago
i’ve adjusted to the isolation. don’t you dare welcome me home now. i was strung along by the rope, tied to the end of your truck. you drove all day, until the sky went orange and purple and blue. i feel a little bruised, i guess. i feel a little indignant.

where’s the pride in being another unwelcome stranger? don’t take off your shoes. don’t look at me like that. i click my pen twice. i straighten the zip on my jeans to hide under the material. where’s the pride? where’s the good? i click the pen twice more. even. tidy. smooth. undetected.

dull lines and dull water drops. i sit at the bottom of the shower, waiting for the water to change me. they say ‘i miss you’. but it all folds into the story, the little flip book of all the times they were long gone. i don’t see it as i flick the pages, it flashes away too fast. i just see the emptiness.

a spot of dirt on the crisp, white sheets. you can’t stop pulling at it, so i watch you play with the threads sister. why can’t you ever notice what’s really important?

Men are creatures to be despised. They stick their little worms in your dirt and hate you for growing flowers. Run before the roses grow. I’d salt my earth, but I like making the best out of a bad situation. I like to remind myself that I am the earth, I am the source of all life. They are alive because I am here. I can create.

genahtastic commented on the post, spilled 3 weeks, 2 days ago
I just can’t forget it. I’ve seen the way I used to be and now I’m blinded by that thing in my eyes, that silly goal, that little bug. It made me rub and rub my eyes until I cried. I spilt my milk. Time to complain that I’m lonely, now. I’ll try not to, but I just can’t forget it.

There’s salt all over this soft shell of mine. Air gently flowing from the fans above. I scrub, I scrub. The tenderness of rubbing away the old and dead, and bringing forward fresh, pink skin. I feel like a raw little crab, thrown momentarily into the boiling pot. For that minute it is not torture, but a warm spa. Tender and soothing to my bones.

If I could’ve dreamt, I think my eyes would have been a little less tired when i woke today. My shoulders ached, I was warm and gentle, right up until I had to wake. Shaken by the rough slam into reality, slapped into myself. I must get out of bed.

If I knew what I wanted, then maybe I could ease up on wanting it so much. Stars seem to hold so much potential, but I gaze up and wonder how many moons will it take me to figure out who I am? Will it be too late?
My hands get cold and I stop asking.

eraser shavings are sprinkled here. your tea is cold. you feel his breath on your neck, ‘don’t spill that.’ little words that make you feel a mess.
little words that stick to the walls and are hung in hallways of your mind. he will loom forever here, a curse.

There are two bees on my fingertips. It’s summer evening, he’s cooking steak burgers in the afternoon blue-orange light. I can smell the misty burning, I can taste the tomato sauce in it. Summer is fading from our little corner of this world.

That’s not the way we do things around here. Walk slower. Taste the earth, smell the salt, move with the water. Be present wherever you are. Do what is right.
We burn slow.

‘Does the world feel itchy to you? like everything is shuffling, taking a breath?’
Hot air is heating their necks. They’re sitting at the skate bowl between their houses, hands inches apart just incase the boys from school roll around again. They’re smiling though – proximity is enough.
‘Something’s changing.’

I push my eyes in with the palms of my hands. The result is pleasing enough, my head feels more solid; I’m less squishy and fragile. I want to fix all problems like that, with a little force, a little push and shove.

I’m used to the hot bath. I’m used to walking with ice clenched in my fist. I do not believe that pain really goes away, we just grow accustomed to more. As we age, the burden on our bodies becomes too much. We weaken. Maybe we’re used to the licking flames at our ankles, but we’re used to the heat by now.
I’ll be just fine, friend.

It doesn’t mean a thing. She’ll burrow it down, nail the coffin shut. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but you’re trying to get her to look your way, trying so hard with your shuffled collar and twisted tight smile. But she won’t flinch. Believe me, she won’t move.

‘Dance with me, kiss me, or leave.’
‘Those are my choices?’
‘Absolutely. I’m being firm and intolerable now. It’s my new thing.’
‘It’s kind of nice, but I don’t like the options.’
‘Why?’
‘I just want to sit here on the edge and sing with you.’
