I lied, yes I did I never understood How I should treat myself I swear I meant well That night when you hid You told me this was good I told you what I felt The words came out like “I will miss you, I won’t go” but they Fell through every open wound

So why did I wait? It took eleven days I guess I like this chase Or I’m complacent I said I need time You told me that was fine Well I guess you fucking lied The words came out like “You won’t miss me, you don’t care I was so scared, why weren’t you there?”

Why can’t you love yourself? Why can’t you love yourself? Why can’t you love yourself? Why can’t you love yourself?

@copiious ( for joe ! )

It's been an entire year and a half now since Mary agreed to sign the contract, to be Joe's manager on the west coast only. Her contract had to have that particular stipulation because unlike everyone else that worked solely for the company? She had another job, her main job – this?.Was quite the side hustle. Mary wasn't a fool though, she has a dummy account on most of the social media platforms to see what the fans are saying, because the only personal account she has is Instagram. The tattoo parlor had a separate account for artists to display their work, there was a site linked in the bio as well as an email to contact the management. You know — a typical business account. 

Both rosters were on the road four days a week – and since the schedule literally changed every single week ? She's a bit grateful there's times where she's not needed at all, where it's the old wiseman having to be there and she can be at work or sitting on her surfboard watching the sunset. Did it at all weigh on her subconscious? Yes, it did — because Joe lived all the way on the other coast — 4, 649 miles if anyone needed the numbers. And there were very few who knew the truth — six people to be exact, other than themselves ( Joelle, his mom, Paul, Sefa, Jon & Josh ). It sat on her ring finger the whole time she was back in Hawai'i, she slept with it on and only ever removed it to shower — but they agreed to not wear them when working.

Fans were insanely ruthless, so it was a matter of safety. 

— — —

Today was going to be a tiring travel day for Thursday  — she had to fly to Los Angeles and stay there for four hours until her flight to Portland. Which was where the show was going to be and she had rented herself a cozy little AIRBNB for the night. So she could hang up her outfits and steam iron them all again for good measure, get her nails done and just have … quiet before all the chaos. ( yes, she's flying out a day early. )

She had just left her condominium, the dark green suitcase rolling along the hallway floor of the 30+ condo building. Dressed in a mauve colored loungewear set, flip flops on her feet and a matching dark green backpack with an empty yeti in a mesh side pocket. Her keys and wristlet clutch dangled from a lanyard around her neck, her android phone was neatly tucked inside of the clutch. While in the elevator and on her way down to the lobby, Mary removed a folded yellow slip of paper from the wristlet clutch to put in her mailbox. It was one of those request to hold mail forms for the post office, she had a whole stack of them on her desk for this reason alone — a downside of living alone. No one to get the mail and let it pile up on the coffee table for you, she didn't exactly trust her neighbors … because she was recognized a little more these days due to being on television. 

With the yellow piece of paper now safely within the confines of her mailbox, Mary exited the building and began walking towards the back of it. Where the parking lot was and only briefly stopped to remove the keys from the lanyard. Unaware that in those few seconds, the rolling suitcase had been taken — not in a nefarious manner, but was she in for a surprise when she turned around and squeaked!  “ — !!!” Uncertain of what to say — because standing before her were both Joe and Paul, who had his hand wrapped around the luggage handle. “ …. I …. hello to the both of you, I'm sure you'll explain to me why you're here but I also … kind of need coffee and a breakfast sandwich before going to the airport.”

Dancing with my dear friend Maggie at the Irish Session in Blue, Portland ME. A very magical night. ✨👞👞

[Video description: two people are dancing in a bar atop a black stage. One is wearing purple trousers and a mauve (maybe?) blouse. The other, a black and gray sweater and black pants. They dance low to the ground, arms mostly at their sides, but moving, and they're making percussive sounds with their shoes. There's an Irish reel being played by a band at a table, which the camera pivots to at the end of the video. There's a candle, phone, and water bottle in the foreground. End description.]

Natural Talent

Behold how black skimmers fish for their finny food. As the tide falls and the moon rises, a squadron of skimmers shimmers over the glassy cove, shallow-plowing the shallows with their razor-thin lower mandibles, scooping up minnows by the many from the mini furrows. It’s a little like seeing with a string, and you have to wonder if they don’t come up with a lot of flotsam and jetsam. Isn’t there an easier way to make a living? Not if you’re a black skimmer. (1)

These are the words of Charley Harper, an American modernist whose imaginative wildlife illustrations in The Golden Book of Biology (1961) captivated a generation of young readers. His artwork, which was sometimes accompanied by snippets of his own humorous prose, has remained so perpetually relevant that designer Todd Oldham initiated a revival of his imagery in 2001, six years before the artist’s death. New glassware, fiberglass trays, and home textiles featuring Harper’s work are still sold at specialty retailers such as Fishs Eddy in New York.

Having been raised on his family’s farm in West Virginia, Harper went on to spend a lifetime working on subjects drawn from nature and wildlife. His projects ranged from illustrations for the now-defunct Ford Times magazine to posters for the U.S. National Park Service.

But first, in 1953, he created a single textile design for Associated American Artists called On the Hook. It is clear that he already had an eye for distilling nature to its essential components: a wavy horizon line suggests a pale gray sky above a mauve-colored sea, where slate-gray fish have been caught on white lines. The sun, a simple yellow dot, is reflected in the centers of small white flowers.

Harper’s love of nature spurred him to activism. In the last year of his life, he discussed his studio practice with Oldham in a WXVY interview: “Right now I’m working on global warming. My latest effort is a cardinal sitting on the head of a polar bear.” (2)

It was quiet Every sound was corrupted by some hollowed thought And the vibrancy was shot You were reminded Of the version of hell every winter had brought All the lifeless thrills you’d caught

And you say you will But you don’t And I still believe you won’t Break until You explode But I’ve seen the preview you Say you will But you don’t You never do So what was that you?

And you waited For a voice you had drowned not that long ago And it came with something else And you hated All the feelings attached to its back on a note That reminded you what broke

And you say you will But you don’t And I still believe you won’t Break until You explode But I’ve seen the preview you Say you will But you don’t I know it’s not that hard Just break apart Maybe we’ll start again and be Better this time

It’s not my fault It’s not yours either Please know that My only hope Is that you see what I have left

It’s not my fault It’s not yours either Please know that My only hope Is that you see what I have left

Will I? (What you said to me, did to me, was it all true? What did you do? What did you do?) Will I? (You were everything, why is it all about you? Why is it you? Who’re you?)

Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

And it came with something else

Woolgathering

August 5th 2018

Themes: LGBTQ+ Dreams 

A/N: I don’t feel like this piece conveys the emotion I wanted to put into it, but in a way I think that’s the point of the story in the first place. I wrote this because of a dream, and then it took on a shape of its own. 

It wasn’t a bad idea at the time. Something about the red ink on a price tag seduced her into picking up the last box on the shelf. The sense of urgency and excitement quickly faded shortly after during the car ride home. Afterward, the box was left alone to the farther end of her kitchens fake granite countertop.

Once during a usual Friday night, Ophella decided to remove the device from the box. Sometimes the best distractions from perceived noise and heightened senses were anything that would remove her eyes from the screen. The episode of The Twilight Zone that night hadn’t convinced her that aliens would invade the one bedroom apartment, but it did leave her mind tickled by the possibility.

A button and a pair of headgear that resembled a scuba mask are what she paid a steep price of eighty dollars with money she could have used on something more useful like milk or tennis shoes. The machine and all its warning pamphlets were haphazardly tucked back into their box and left untouched for another three months.

“We can try it but I’m not really all that tired right now-” Shelani said. She bowed her head making her brown eyes appear larger and quieter than they actually were. Ophella flips her phone over to check the time and nods. Neither women really went to sleep till the youngest hours of the next day. On weekends like this, they would sit quietly in the living room browsing the internet or watching their individual shows until sleep begged for them. Tonight would have been no different if it wasn’t for the undeposited paycheck in her purse leaving all subscriptions on hold for the time being. Tonight they would have to entertain themselves.

“I’m not tired either. We have melatonin though.”  The tablets were bought a full year ago to help with adjusting to the time difference between Seattle and Portland. After the hasty move, the apartments empty spaces and purring boiler room next door would leave her eyes constantly shifting. It almost amused her how living alone birthed a  feeling of constant company.

Shelani’s lips stretched into a puffy mauve line. Ophella waited for her suggestion to shake hands with gently put rejection or a well-placed silence. Perhaps it had been too perverse an idea. Ophella curls herself into an apology.

“OK, but me first. On you I mean-” Shelani clarified. Her arm is thrown around Ophella’s wide shoulders. Their cheeks rub against each other and their mixing hair crunched in both their ears. The sensation brings up memories of brown butter hissing in a hot pan.

Two plastic blue cups are taken down from the cabinets with a bit of effort. Luckily some sweet tea remained from their pizza delivery earlier. Two purple tablets are scratched out of their foil wrappings and popped into Ophella’s mouth. She swallowed them dry before remembering to take a sip of her drink.  

From where she stood she watched as Shelani worked her short sable hair into a hairband found on the floor. The box is flicked open and the headgear pulled out and over the woman’s oblong head. Blindly her long fingers paw at the air.  They laughed together.

“Aren’t you afraid of seeing something weird? Like we can’t come back from this kind of weird. Dreams can be really fucked up you know-” Not that Shelani had any particular concerns in mind. Most nights were dreamless. For a few moments or so she would simply fall out of existence and back into it again. Occasionally the odd dream or so would occur, but they weren’t much to remember or enjoy. In most, she was doing painfully unfantastic things like texting or going to work. She had come to envy those who could live again through dreaming.

“I’m not afraid. It’s not like we have to talk about what we see if we see anything,” Ophella answered. Agreeing to not speak about it seemed like the safest option when concerning things as sensitive as dreams and the sort. Her offer caused Shelani to smile the type of smile she makes when she’s getting ready to make a joke. Ophella is already offended before she speaks.

“Shut up and drink your tea.” The cup is pressed to Shelani’s lips and she drinks down the sweet liquid eagerly. Then Ophella is pulled down so that her stocky legs straddled Shelani’s. The cream color of the carpet created perfect outlines of both their brown skin but burned their thighs and knees. Neither moved much as Shelani emptied her cup and rolls it away till it clinks against the balcony door. As the silence sets in between them again, Ophella feels Shelani’s forearms come to rest against her hips. With the headgear still on its hard to tell if any type of eye-contact could be established between the two.  Ophella put her hands somewhere friendly and willed herself to fight the need to announce that she wasn’t yet sleepy. Things happened in silence even if it’s more itchy than tense.

Shelani’s fingers walked themselves up her sides, rest once at her waist, tap dance on her shoulders, and come to rest on the sharpest point of her cheeks. Feeling the need to recuperate Ophella toys with  Shelani’s feathery hair. Moments like this between them were rare yet fleeting. Whenever they ended Ophella always felt like she had inhaled too soon and drowned.  

Months prior the two held hands and linked their foreheads together as they talked about the stranger sides of life-the unwanted memories and missed connections. They talked till they cried and smiled so often their jaws turned to elderly rubber bands. That night something between them intertwined along with their legs. Shelani did something out of ordinary then. She called Ophella something that left the taste of honey on her tongue and a sense of importance in her throat. ‘You’re my favorite’ she had said before pressing their noses together till their cupid bows met. Something about the word favorite did something. More platonic than ‘darling’, yet more regal than ‘ closest friend’. That encounter left a fluttering butterfly in Ophella’s chest.

“Are you tired yet?” Shelani cut in. She then yawned and removes the headset finally so that she could lay back against the floor and stretch her arms and crack her knuckles.

“No, but it looks like you better let me take your turn if you’re just going to fall asleep before I do,” Ophella laughed. Her weight comes down more comfortably until she feels the hard bones of Shelani’s hips press into her bottom. Several seconds later both shift so that they were lying side by side. The anticipation for Shelani to say or do anything unlike herself slowly starts to overwhelm her favorite friend. Anything. Anything.

“Take your turn first then. I’ll get mine in after a nap if you don’t mind too much.” The woman stretched again till her body clicks like a pen. She rolled onto her back, crossed her legs so that the hems of her pink socks lined up, and closed her eyes.

Ophella reached for the stiff instructions manual and decided that the best time to give it a look through would be now as Shelani edged closer to sleep. At first, she found herself squinting at the translated side of the instructions as if doing so would suddenly bring back three years of high school French. In English the manual reads ‘Woolgatherer: Visual REM Sleep Aid.’ It went on to use words like ‘miraculous’ and ‘simply’ and all other words that would have made her believe her purchase was nothing more than a scam if she hadn’t seen it work before.

On a whim last Christmas she and some friends traveled several thousand miles west to the coast of California. Along the sand caked docks she alone had come across a small booth offering tarot card reading and dream interpretation. She, of course, chose the latter. A pruned Asian woman dressed in emerald sat her down and offered her hot water to help calm her nerves. She found it strange then, but perhaps she was nervous to hear what her dreams would reveal about her to the stranger.

The session only lasted ten or so minutes if you don’t count the extra six it took for Ophella to relax enough to allow the woman access to her thoughts. They exchanged a few words on why Ophella daydreamed herself as a spider or a rat before the results were made clear. She said-‘You are senselessly fearful. You long for nothing short of everything’. How she got that from Ophella’s eight-eyed persona is beyond her still.

She was not fearful. In fact, she could be quite brave when she decided to be. She could dance in public if the music was good, she could hold her own against strangers if it came down to it. In college, she could walk past three men on the street with her head upturned and not feel her stomach sink to her pelvic floor. In January the power had gone out in the middle of the night, yet she braved the darkness till dawn gave enough light for her to find the fuse box.

A short-lived snore then erupted from Shelani’s long frame. She always snored but never too loudly and never for too long. When they would spend their nights together like this Ophella would sometimes wait for the snoring of her friend before browsing the internet for trashy stories to read. When the snoring came along there was no sudden noise or microwave loud enough to wake Shelani up.

The button is lovingly placed on her forehead and sticks to the warm skin. It flashes blue as it silently connects itself to the woman’s innermost thoughts. Her thin lashes danced when Shelani’s eyes began to move behind the lid. Ophella wondered then if dreaming is more like looking at something behind your lids that no one else could see. The buttons light flashes green to indicate that now was the best time to peek into her friends subconscious.

At first, nothing could be seen but static and floating black and red specs and it looks like she’s dunked her head in a seasoned soup of some kind. Then the specs stretched and grabbed hold of one another until images start to tear through the nothingness and form a single picture. The dream itself was a small and somewhat distant thing at first. Gradually it expanded forcing shapes and bodies to come into focus. From where she sat she could now see what appeared to be Shelani brushing her hair in the mirror.

The image looked like Shelani enough, though some parts of her body were smeared outside the lines like a child’s drawing. Occasionally her face would transcend comprehension and blur into something else entirely. Her movements were fluid and lacked any real thought or effort it seemed. Shelani turned after a few more passes through her hair.

Ophella watched as the vanity in Shelani’s old room stirs itself into the walls around them. If she wasn’t gripping the short wool of the carpet she would easily mistake the world around her as unstable and changing. Now Shelani stood outside her workplace speaking to seemingly no one. Unfortunately, dreams could only be seen and not heard. Her lips moved like a mannequin’s in straight chattering motions. The dream faded into nothing again.

This repeated itself throughout the night. From the couch, Ophella watched Shelani dream herself out of her twenties and into the arms of pruned old women who looked like the dried figs they’d eat together during the summer. Sometimes the settings would change with every flick of Shelani’s pink tongue. One second they would be in the stockroom of a retail store, and in the next behind a pizzeria sharing oily pepperoni with ugly pigeons.

An hour or so later Ophella could feel the pressure of the headset start to pain her temples. Her fingers slipped beneath the elastic bands to rub comfort into her skin and eyes-it didn’t help much. She rocked herself on her heels hoping to keep awake long enough to see another dream. Four in the morning turned her eyelids to weighted windows. Time slipped from her minutes at a time.

A subtle champagne graced her eyes the next time they willed themselves open. This will be the last one before she sleeps she decided. In view, bare shoulders covered in golden dew rolled themselves in slow restricted circles. The world took on a satin finish filled with a grain and noise. One pair of shoulders became two. Ophella pinched each of her fingers.

One pair of shoulders became a twisting torso with raindrops bouncing off the breasts but not wetting the canopy bed they recline on. That hopeful feeling came back. Lightning flashed behind the headboard. One head dipped back leaving the bumps of a neck exposed. Lips parted. Two mix-matched hips ground into each other as if between them were grain to make flour. Wide shoulders push back displacing rain-soaked coiled hair. Ophella gorged herself on the similarities. Knees coaxed themselves apart as a hand slipped down her shorts.

It is noted how Shelani smiled when she liked something and how her eyes closed when the other woman sucked water off her thighs. It is noted how she whispered love with bent toes and blood milked fingers. It is noted that when the other woman lifted her head her face was nothing like Ophella’s. Not hers.

Disgusted by her entrancement, but already lost to the motions of her own actions, Ophella’s body curled into itself.

Holly Luyah Displays Her Voluptuous Figure In A Black Bikini, Urges Fans To Stay Indoors

American plus-size model and celebrity makeup artist Holly Luyah recently took to her Instagram page and treated her 3.1 million fans to a sexy picture.

In the snapshot, which was uploaded on Thursday, April 2, the model posed in a black bikini, one that allowed her to put her ample assets, thick thighs and taut stomach on full display.

Staying true to form, Holly sported a full face of makeup but chose subtle shades to keep it natural. The application featured an ivory foundation that gave her face a perfect matte finish. She wore a mauve shade of lipstick, dusted her cheeks with a pink blush, and wore bronze eyeshadow, a thick coat of mascara, and well-defined, dark eyebrows. She finished off her application by applying highlighter on her T-zone.

Holly wore her raven-colored tresses in a high ponytail and allowed them to cascade over her shoulders. In terms of accessories, she kept it very simple by only opting for an assortment of rings.

According to the geotag, the picture was captured in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. For the snap, Holly sat on a wooden bench while seemingly inside a cabin. She sat straight, gazed into the camera, and tugged at her bikini bottoms to strike a pose.

In the caption, Holly urged her fans to stay indoors and practice social distancing so that the spread of coronavirus can be contained. She shared her future plans, stating that she can’t wait for summer to arrive so that she could wear short clothes, sit in the grass, and eat mangoes. She wrapped up by informing her fans that her bikini was from the online clothing retailer Fashion Nova.

Within less than an hour of posting, the snap amassed more than 24,000 likes and about 600 comments where the Portland native’s followers praised her for her amazing figure and sense of style.

“I can’t resist loving your pics! You’re such a naughty girl,” one of her fans commented on the snap.

“Wow, you are so beautiful, natural, and sexy. This is the best pic I have seen today,” another user chimed in.

“Why are you so hot? I love everything about you, Holly,” a third admirer wrote.

“You made my day less sh*tty with this gorgeous picture,” a fourth follower stated.

Others used words and phrases like “goddess,” “perfect,” and “I love your thick legs,” to express their admiration for the hottie.

Apart from Holly‘s regular followers, many other models also liked the update, including Pandora Blue, Savanna Sievers, and Ruby Red.

TWO POEMS (From Pinhole Poem) / Zosia Rose Wiatr

season, no seas in the midst of this cimmerian morning I lay my face against the dirt and call to Persephone through the thick of pitch-dark, call on her endurance, every year a complete extinguishment of day hardens her backbone of calcified spirits & liquefied sunlight picking up the receiver she says, Zosia, you're in it, you're doing okay, watch out for what's mutable what knots and what brays without cause and for what glows orange-mauve in the dark ok, thank you, I say, meaning, don't hang up, or, which is more clouded with the violence of dream: the moment before night, or night during day? phases heart blood clotting ocean plastic clotting I blot the pooling fountain pen ink run through your name on this envelope with this already-black-stained handkerchief I blot up the oceans all the fish flopping all the humans flopping I ask you about the world today on your way to work what did the headline say about evasion, about patterning, about shrouding, about decay thus in response will you wring out the saturated cloth or stare into the sun and say, day is done so is god ⁂ Zosia Rose Wiatr is a poet and translator based in Portland, OR. She authored the chapbook, Atlas of Negotiable Trajectories (Couch Press, 2015). She is the recipient of the 2017 Airstream Poetry Festival Fellowship.
