The clouds are so close by today

Summer plums, half baked already

on their boughs

are begging to drip into our mouths

but the wind has lost its chime

today

All my teeth are trying to scream

I’m the dusty plastic plant

that you’re tired of watering

Look

Look at me like I can still breathe

Touch me as if I’m warm

Hold me as if I might be going somewhere,

someday

I want you to look at me

like that rare bird, who by chance, happened upon our hedge

that day

by chance I came across your face

in a crowd and it sang to me

at a frequency only I could hear

You

pluck my nerves like a harp

Let me shiver you

like the clouds when they’re so close

that we’re in them and you say

Look

Look at the clouds

there’s one shaped like you

as if you were a painting

by one of the old masters

Look

Look at you drifting

so beautifully away

I am a dog bearing its teeth and foaming at the mouth. I am a dog because I am scared. I am a dog because my leash is too tight and you’re too close. I am a dog because I don’t know how to unhinge my jaw after the first bite. I am a dog because I am scared. I am a dog because I don’t know how to be anything else. I am a dog because I can’t see through my fear and I don’t know who is helping me or wants to harm me. I am a dog because I am scared.

choking growth

slow progress is still progress- that's what people keep telling me. i know there's truth in that, and i know they're just trying to help. so i bite my tongue behind gritted teeth and thank them as politely as i can. 

but it's been years of work and very little to show for it, in the long run. it's embarrassing, holding up hands made of greenery among fields of glorious florals. look, i say. look. i've accomplished something, finally. but then someone laughs; silly girl. ivy isn't a flower, no matter how prettily it can bloom. didn't you know it's just another weed? 

so i tug on the vines. rip them out of the soil, sending clumps of dirt flying in the process. i put in the work, but no matter how hard i try, i can't seem to make a dent. it's everywhere, and i'm drowning in it. and i feel so stupid for ever once thinking it could be beautiful. how could i not see the way it was strangling everything else? including me.

help me find a post

i can't remember if it was a random text post, a screenshot of a poem, or a transcription of a poem, and i don't know if it was meant to be a shitpost or not.

it was a piece of short writing that was about the last moments of awareness of a snake(?), blissfully alive and alert, just before it smashes into a wire and dies instantly. presumably the entire thing was a metaphor for human life, or something. like i said, it might not have been serious at all. i don't think it was a viral post but it could have been, i don't remember the note count. it's been rattling around inside my skull for days and i can't find it again through google please help me

[feel free to reblog for outreach if you want]

#rambles #poetry #poetry tumblr #poets on tumblr #literature #literature tumblr #im chucking this into related tags for maximal reach #i swear to god if this just turns out to be a shitpost #i'm not even 100% sure i saw it on tumblr to be honest. i'm just assuming it was here bc it seems likely

i called you home because i knew the angels were looking for your love in the towers of god

the realms of the dead have forgotten their spark

you are after the enlightening storm

remember the visions you were gifted 4 years ago

dont be quiet now

you werent quiet then

why you are leaving us with your song

without your body singing the praises

have you forgotten yourself

have you forgotten the love inside of your veins

i prayed it away

i left out the strings

that my body was carrying from the wounds i had saved

i cut off the blockages and i headed home

when the mother is calling i go and give offerings

my voice was all i had when there was nothing

she kept me clothed and warmth was the potion

there are more guides that need hearing out

youre too stubborn to try it for yourself

youre just too fearful

try to get out for once

let the thunderstorms hear your lightening sounds because you are

the empress in disguise; and there is nothing one can say

that could take away from your light.

I tried to write a love letter to my body

For therapeutic purposes

But I wasn’t ready

I cannot see the beauty

In all the things you do for me

I would be lying if I said

Your thighs don’t kind of scare me

But I don’t have hate for you

More just unfair expectations

I wish I could feel differently

Dear body,

I’m afraid I still don’t love you

But truly, I am sorry.

Do you think Eve knew she was created for Adam? Do you believe that when she woke she found solace in her task to keep Adam entertained? Her very first breath was interrupted by His words “it is not good for man to be alone.” What does free will mean to Eve? What does temptation mean to Eve? What if Satan had whispered, “I created and designed this tree just for you. Come, let’s partake in its fruits together. It is not good for you to be alone.”

i want to be loveable. and not in the way that i want every single person who meets me to adore me- no. i want the people i love to find it easy to love me back. i want interesting strangers to find it easy to confide in me, to be vulnerable with me because i'm just so easy to trust. i want to be the distant friend you can tell anything to. the person a classmate might approach for help. i want to be easy to love, and want others to know that im full of love, and so willing to give it away.

🧚🏾‍♂️ Sprites of the Orchard! ✨ Join us in celebration of Disability Pride Month for our first open mic!

The theme is "disabled voices" - we're looking for poetry that reflects the experience of living as a disabled / neurodivergent person.

Disability is a self-defined and widely expansive identity, so please don't self-reject - we'd love to hear your poems!
