A man walks into a bar
And asks the bartender for a drink
Put it in a glass or a human body either way they are one and the same
The man stands before the glass stands on the counter
His hands holds the glass holds his drink
Then the exchange
Mouth open the glass lets go of all that it is
Mouth open the man seeks to forget all that he is
Lets go of the glass
The glass tumbles
He stumbles
The glass falls
The man is down
Glass splinters glitter on the ground
Stars hidden by the man on the moon
Who has fallen off his throne
Not quite responds the bartender
As he sweeps what remains of the glass into a dust pan
And he commands the man to stand back up

the French word for tongue is langue
and i let it lounge on my lips like a lover
curl around my heart like a prayer
as i remember -
langue
the language of lovers, the curse of the saints
the tongue, the source of sin
the lie of a liar, the praise of a win
the tongue, la langue
something so strong, it breaks hearts and wills
something so quick, it's silver, never still
la langue
no longer has the power to devour my words
la langue
no longer caught in a closing throat
la langue
no longer;
my tongue,
i conquer.

my love, let me hold your face, softly in the sunlight, let me kiss your eyelids, as if to say - let go, let go of the ghosts, let me rest your head on mine, let me entangle my fingers with yours, let me take you with me, let me take to you a place only we know - the cliff, behind this small town of ours, let me take you, my love, let me take you away.
let me love you// s.a

love! she calls in a voice like honey and wheat, pale gold of morning warmth. i answer with a purple howl meant only for the moon, and run away swiftly. disappear at the stroke of midnight into the dusk-coloured woods with bruises that match. what could i know of love? what could i deserve?

Her eyes held malice when she looked at me; her mouth told lies and took advantage of my naivety. This is wrong, I think. This hurts, I think. This is going to break my heart. I still cry when she leaves.

exceptional disasters
Let the bittersweet scents   Of roses and myrtle   Never desert our lives.   Tonight we will feast, Devouring the skies   Painted tears and watercolor, Taking away what never belonged To us.   I'll be your cute red-haired Aphrodite And you will be charmed by my beauty. Like corpses of flies plastered on pastoral Northern Italian scenery,   We've shattered our hearts, souls, and wrists Until we were left with nothing else to break. Craving for handmade disasters,   We will destroy the only sky that has sheltered us. Bellowing and writhing in pain, we would Throw smiles at a life that graced us With such an exceptional ending.   Exceptional disasters, Exceptional lovers,   Gobbling down our only sky While we burn down from within.
We'll come to dwell in crystal temples   In the stillness of eternal gardens, And never believe in disasters Until they happen to us.

be great
I’m searching for a one way ticket out of where I’m at but sometimes moving forward means finding your way back; nickel bags in the stash-- flashing lights, flashing life-- I only smile on the 1st and 15th; I only fear what lies right underneath the fragile facade, as the suffering cascades the cops throw the judge another lob watch him do a windmill then thank god. white silence has become white noise; the corporations rob while the masses are just happy to have a job. apathetic; no wonder dollar signs have bars on em-- I feel for my son but I gotta be hard on him. being black in America means death feels like deja vu; confederate statues: black heads on pikes; allies only showing love for the likes, right. the governors in black face is the only time the TV has black face-- brace for the impact. black happiness is combat.

I’m trying to define myself but no one ever taught me the words, And I think my greatest sin is that I can never learn anything for myself.
There are the brief moments where I am alive, Like when a cloud parts and the sun finally begins to seep through, When I run through the grass with earth between my feet – But there are so many more when I feel I am a moment away from disappearing,  Holding on to this universe by a mere thread, Nothing more than a shadow. 
Except sometimes I am a colourful explosion, I am chaos and metaphor and love, I am reinventing and rediscovering and I was made for this, The endless green of meadows and fields, tripping over trees, Laughing and spinning in the storm, I am made of memories and words I preserved, Childish laughter and a sense of belonging, 
I know we were hopeless and mismatched but a single song can take me back to the day We spent twirling in the rain and the time I convinced you we belonged, That we had a place in this world, And we lay under your bed and I wished you’d kiss me but you never did – 
I didn’t know love could cause such pain, Not when it was the gentle, mutual love between friends, Not when it was the love of childhood or nature or the stars in the sky and the earth on the ground –
I wish I could return, not forever but for a moment, I wish I could see the sun glint off the water without the fear of drowning in the back of my mind, I wish I could surround myself with softness again without being suffocated,
I don’t want to stay here forever but I hate that I have to leave forever –
Can I be autumn and summer and winter and spring? I want to light fires and curl up in the winter, I want to watch the snow gently fall to the ground and fire crackle in the hearth and drink hot chocolate and watch bad movies with family surrounding me, but still, I don’t want to give up another summer to do so.
I am five and I am nine and I am three and fifteen and twelve, sometimes I feel ancient and weary with this life, but I wonder at the rain and the cleansing of the world and the clear blue sky and I still love like a child does,
I won’t remember being here, the memories I have are hazy and distant at best, I am watching two lovers in the rain and I can hardly remember which is me or why they are here or how one of them will remember this day for the rest of her life and the other will forget
I wish I could remember all the times you held my hand I wish I could document them and replay them every time I felt alone, Except that I wouldn’t, sometimes I need to return to forest paths and the stars to feel myself again –
But they’re so far away now, who let them escape? I wish I believed in wishes again I watch the clouds part, the sun beaming down, I spent half my life fearing I've lost the ability to write
Memories that are so almost perfect I'll spend my life remembering them, In my mind, they’re golden, sunlit, I hate them cause they’ll never return – I am the sum of all my good memories.
The sky seemed so bleak for so long, People seemed so vacant –
I think the colour is returning now, but I can never trust that it’ll stay.

crushing
crushes keep crushing me
they crumble my heart like a cookie
I hope you like me, I don't want to tell you first
cookies crumble quicker when they're burnt
my love has flames
nobody likes burnt cookies, but I hope
you do

“Being Flawless is perfect;
But being Flawed is something beyond perfection”
“Why do you forget that it’s your flaws and all that made me fall for you in the first place”
~what I say to her when she says “I’m a mess”
-Find somebody who loves you; for your mistakes ...somebody who looks at you and your flaws & finds them cute enough to stay with you ...

a year to remember
i used to write a recap poem
every december
summing up everything
beginning from the start in january
packaging it neatly
messily
haphazardly
in poetry
i don't anymore
i stopped writing this year
poetry
text messages
journal entries
to-do lists
anything
everything
writing is remembering
and i just want to forget
it's december 30th
only a few minutes before the 31st and
i'm having end of the year emotions
for me that means
sentimental stupidity
i'm in love with life
and disgusted with myself
i miss everyone
but this year i miss myself mostly
i don't remember who i am
i wish i wrote it down sometime
i wonder if the answer is in one of my old poetry books
there are so many and they're dust covered
if i'm in there i'll never find me
but if i'm in there
then i don't ever want to find me
there isn't a me to find
i don't think i ever existed before
maybe next year i will try to
maybe i will start writing again
inventing me
maybe i won't start with poetry
maybe just with a list of things i love
and then journal entries
and then to-do lists
i'll even try to send my friends some messages
and maybe on december 30th 2022
i will write a recap poem
maybe in 2022 i'll have a year i want to remember

the poet
fear me
for i am unafraid to live alone until i want you
fear me
for i will never need you by my side
but love me
because one day i'll choose my forever muse
and if you love me well,
then maybe... just maybe... i'll choose you.

“The worst form of crying is the one you do when your emotions become so strong, that you just sob relentlessly and don’t know exactly why you’re crying but it feels like you’re unraveling like a ball of yarn.”
— day two hundred forty-nine, two thousand nineteen // 11:11

3. horn goat horns spiral into twisted shapes and in their grooves we read archaic omens. helixes curved around thrice prophesize the death of a godless son, aching and left without heart. branching bones that always point north wait for the night the stars blink out of the sky. the devil laughs with horns of pitch black, lines carved deep with glowing red rings, and the angels come down to combat him, their antlers curved together to form near-perfect halos.

Today, I didn’t think of you when I woke up. Today, when something funny happened, I didn’t reach for my phone to call you. Today I looked in the mirror and realized that it’s possible to love my life the way that it is. Today was the first time in a long time that I felt alive.
today, yesterday, tomorrow// hnl 2020
