tiny vessels

god cried for us that afternoon on the rocks, if I could be so selfish; you had your hands grasping at my empty vapors before I’d had the chance to whisper to you. I see you shaking. I know you’re hungry and I know the temperature of your eyes when you lie. you said you were lonely. half-truths are the essence of symbiotic relationships, your fingers trailing along my hips, glacier blue eyes holding me still. the rapids churned. god cried for me that afternoon. he was selfish, too.

no, i want the annihilating sweetness

you were right when you said i lack the nerve to drive my car into the ocean. i stay out late, the splinters of our electric city clicking against my teeth, & come home to the flash of your whispers flushing my body with nervous polyrhythms. last night i found the letter in which i named your eyes orestes and pylades: star-crossed & polished & eager to settle on a cosmic altar where we trembled as if we were glasses of water & i've been wandering, i'll confess, beyond the perimeters of your damaged skin, beyond the quiet fluster of your gleaming spine. i wandered, with vespers foaming at the brink of my eyelashes, rushing to co

Tolerance

It is often said that tolerance is necessary in a free and democratic society, but there is considerable debate about what tolerance is. One standard is that tolerance means putting up with others and respecting their basic rights. Others regard this as insufficient, and consider almost any expression of negative attitudes on the basis of factors such as race or religion to be intolerant. The focus of this essay is religious tolerance. This is the form of tolerance that was most significant to the founders of the United States. It will become clear, however, that religious tolerance is not as special a case as it may at first seem. Religious

Will you ever love me as much as I've loved you? We went through so much together. We beat the hard knocks together We laughed together We played together as kids We did so much for each other Why did you turn away? You stopped walking my way And went your own way Could this be heaven or hell I could never tell If you actually loved me Or I'm just another crash dummy.

all my friends are dead

When tension pulls my tight warcry loose and my Evergreen throat is strung up in your Dark chest where I ran the red light / I killed the girl / I put my shoes away Small things make me ache for you When you sit in the driver seat with the door open and I do not Take the space in your lap When you lean into my ocean and I Wash over you but That is all Your careful jaw and open wound mouth I could rest there I could rot you away I could wear out my comedown In the shadow of you loving me I could be born again Like any Used girl mountain passed between Any tree in Crucifix Valley could be you Any penance in tenderness Any doubt in b

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its
