crow
It’s a sad bird. Nobody likes him, because they think it’s a bad bird. He doesn’t sing because of his sadness.

startled
his eyes widened like a rabbits, or a deer, or a child caught in the act, and he knew he was this close to being caught, this close. his breath staggered in his throat, shuddered to a halt and then jerked alive again. he shook his head, he needed to keep going, he had a goal, he had to get rid of the bag. no one would catch him, no one could now.

civilize
i think this is something my family is not. If you see them out in the street you’ll think it’s a walking zoo. I think i got the definition of the word wrong but whatever. okay yes i got it correct. My favil

backspace
going in the direction we wish we could, the one that’s against the laws of nature, we could return oh can’t we return. can’t we burn from the core outward, can’t we grow young again of course we want to when we’re old enough to know better. and of course undo our past mistakes, regrow the tendons, rewrite the words we said. rephrase delicate and proper.

bookshelf
Bookshelf. It’s the thing sitting above my desk. It keeps letting my books fall over sideways, though – possibly it isn’t full enough? But how much should you have to put on your shelf in life, anyway? Some things need to be taken down and read once in a while; it can’t always be full. After all, what’s the point of collecting memories and books and experiences if you’re not going to do anything with them?

alumni
Alumni – the plural for what my darling fiancé is. He graduated two years ago and I shall graduate this year – how bittersweet it’s been! I love college but am ready to be an alumna, and to be with him for days on end without worrying about classes or when we’re both free for a phone call. <3 Love you, Colin!

tables
Tables, tables The maze, a labyrinth The man with the shirt that says; Beans not war. stands up. The swarm begins for the tables, tables, emptying. The cup-carrying, waiting for tables, tables. He takes his cups placed precariously one on top of the other, the others, swarming he’s left his table and they jump put their things down as if to claim the tables, tables, to rest their wary caffeine-soaked tired and, exhausted to the core bones. from the days and days of waiting, for tables.

possibility
There are tons of possibilities out there for me. I for one have so many choices it’s pratically unreal. I am so excited to be alive in the world at this timer. I am so lucky I know my mom didn’t these kinds of possibilities that I have. I have the chance to be anything I want and I will as long as I can make a living I could do anything… It makes me giddy. I CAN DO ANYTHING!! :) I love that feeling. I just can’t explain it in words. Lots of people don’t have the same possibilities that I do.

created
I created something beautiful today a monster (in a way) lipstick smeared across my cheek (I was scared- of myself) Mascara thick and black something like a beauty queen wrecked and tossed around thrown out the door. I created something beautiful today can’t find my makeup remover. Can’t seem to get rid of it.

near
Your nearness to me is the most important thing in my life. I spend half the time away from you trying ti get closer, and all my time with you so happy that you’re near. I love you.

common
It seems to me that the things that are most common are some of the things that are the hardest to appreciate. The sunrise (I just can’t get up) or the stars (I’m just so tired) and… mm the air, the flowers, and some days I just have to remind myself how god awfully small I am.

spike
he reached through his hair slicked back with gel plucking each strand as he went (spike, spike, spike) jake, the boy with the hair. the things that make you fall in love when you’re a little kid.

velvet
when I was little I used to carry around a ribbon with me slipping it between my fingers rubbing it back and forth (security blanket) every month going to the fabric store eying the bundles and bundles of velvet, running my fingers across the fabric being able to choose something that would without a doubt comfort me, and (life was simpler)

beach
my finger tips like to slide in between the sand and wonder, deliriously, on the edge of of the heat, the bones – people- things sweat- crabs- fish- trees all matters of the world that have wound themselves up grated themselves down and found themselves under my finger tips.

tide
when I was little we went to the beach and lost in the wind, the grass swayed and I was gone, somewhere beyond the bushes tossing and turning in the grains a man grabbed my hand and he looked down at me and said let’s find where you belong.

bleach
bleach wash it all away in a sea of white and burning my eyes, stinging, tearing up cleaning it all away. I reach towards the bottle and motion “Don’t drink” and “Not for children” and these other things you don’t find out until you’re too old to care.

waltz
wedding whites and pearls pinks and peaches she swings around hung limply on your arm a waltz, a waltz, to a song she’s been singing in her head a sigh escapes her lips as a sign it’s never what she imaged.

revolt
fist pumping in the air flags lining the cement dripping, snow cone, ice shaved of my freedoms as they shout faggot. slut. whore. lies wearing the rainbow and wondering where to stand how to sit what I’m doing wrong today, this moment fist pumping in the air I’m still here (not going anywhere)

without
without you I feel something emptiness cleanliness the sort that you want to scrub off and find what is underneath. all this discovery with you amazed and everyday without you I feel nothingness

mantle
Mantle-piece. Mantle. Is a cloak, a covering. Some animals have a mantle. Don’t really know what that means. I like the sound of the word, but have not much use for it in my everyday life. Perhaps good in poetry

level
Level-headed. Level playing field. On the level. A palindrome. Levelly – a funny looking word. I can’t think of much else. I have a level, I use it quite regularly to see if my washing machine needs to be adjusted. Bad floors. Levels are great to
