“Which seat can I take?”
– Goldilocks (via historysaidwhat)
Audience
almost
silent eyes
that carefully
looked to me, pretty,
and i wish
i was your microphone
close to you
the stand
between your hands
sweet and fierce
your voice
on this night
of sighs.
you sang to me
a second, a wink
to hold your hand,
just pull
like a thread
in unworried haste and lust
and everything sweetily done.
“As brothers we will stand and we’ll hold your hand.”
– Timshel — Mumford & Sons
I’m a walking TFM today.

Cross yourself
The glow of a swallowed moon
Against the spoon of your fingers
Light blue and detailed
Cradled within a cloud,
covered up with a prayer
I saw the moon tonight
And I let her ignite upon me the hopes
that you are too allowing her to glow
A silk light upon your porcelain face.
Glow
socked feet kick
finger nail bit
toothed lip, giggle, hardly sit
and squee at the computer screen
a toddler
i glow with excitement.
this smile crackles and sparks from the inside,
out-
sitting in the dark,
and one song repeats in my head
pretty smile, or wink instead
you in my arms, sitting on my bed
the wind will carry your laugh
my arm a pillow on the wet grass.
kiss me tonight
this summer is...
Good Plans
I put lemon juice.
in my Coca Cola.
Big yes.
“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is...”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
Let your madness for vengeance satisfy you
The great war memorials that surround me in DC are impressive statues and meaningful buildings, not pubs or bars. They honor life through reflection rather than through the pompous celebration of vengeance.
Is the defeat of your enemy supposed to be jubilant? Aren’t we too great of a country to do that? Like beasts over a dead corpse we feed on this concept of revenge and justice-served....

You know you are from New Jersey when you categorize people by north, central, and south jersey.
Somebody tried to tell me there was no such thing as Central Jersey yesterday, and I almost cut them.
two words: socioeconomic gradient.
