Literature Text

Some people are comets;
others just want to share
the infinite prairie
navigating undivulged
mysteries; and on the
rare chance two comets meet
in the rock-strewn vacuum,
the cobalt comas crochet
their whistling tails into Celtic knots.

Wee Wee Wee, All the Way Home

Oh brother, "he-haw," Who makes a house out of straw? Certainly you're raw From breaking mother's law; "he-haw...he-haw" I saw his paw. Oh brother, in the hicks, I will not pick up those sticks. Didn't mother say to not pick A house made out of sticks? You think you're slick, But see this nick? He gave it only a flick. So don't be sick, Just light the wick - Say, "bye, bye sticks!" Oh brothers, do not bother, For I am not like father. You built those homes, despite mother, And would build another Before I discover You were smothered By your very own covers. So go back home And leave me alone. My house, lone, Was bri

Pyhainpaiva

Each grave sits alone in the dark winter's night, illuminated by a soft candle left many hours ago by the small hands of a grandchild, or perhaps the withered and tired hands of a widow. All Saints Day has come and gone in Finland, and once again the tombstones wait out the heavy emptiness of a cold November sky. An echo falls upon the snow from the north; the River Aura insists on making herself known. She scorns her black invisibility delivered by the misty atmosphere and rushes on towards the city. There, surely, she will find light and life willing to pay her proper recognition. It is unlikely that the tombstones remember the city. It

On Writing

all the words all the senses all the dirt and smell and roughness the bursting heart fresh cold water CRASH of waves and then the ache within trickling nothing tears and itching legs all these things someone wrote them, a bit. How can you tell anyone else? How can you thrust the living today into someone else's soul? This is just a nut in a banana leaf.

Rombos

por Romy Lara El aire gélido se coló en la habitación y alborotó los papeles minuciosamente acomodados en el escritorio. Tronándose los nudillos de la mano izquierda, Julio se incorporó y cerró la ventana de un golpe. Afuera el cielo se caía pedazo por pedazo. Reacomodó el desorden que se había hecho en su mesa de trabajo, colocando cada documento en su lugar: los de etiqueta amarilla en la carpeta amarilla, los marcados con verde en la papeleta verde y así consecutivamente con cuatro colores más. Procedió a sacar un cuaderno de portadas negras de su

stormchaser

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

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

So this is the latest thing I've written. It's something I've written to include in the front of my friend's present (a handmade leather notebook - she likes to write historical fiction). I eventually want to embed this scene into a short story, but I haven't quite gotten there. She might like it on it's own, not sure. Let me know your thoughts. Missed you all
