October 31: snapshot at dusk
you were a romance
love letters and burned candles
and dragons wings out the window
you surprised me
your tea
your hair
your guard
your tower
folks called each caress, every kiss
midnight
I don’t know
I always thought
I don’t know
I never thought
I don’t know
I’m a coward in the end

October 30: woven with thread
this girl loved that girl
—
autumn girls and pumpkin girls
and lost girls who were pirates
—
go running through the wood the trees the roses
happy and lonely and cleaved together
—
every combination a beautiful patchwork

October 29: to the children
so go - fall in love with
mushrooms or math
or combat boots, tattoos,
or books and rocks and anything pink
nothing is not allowed
you love everything

October 28: nothing better than revenge
offense is inevitable,
no matter what.
you’re still dead and I don’t regret it.

October 27: machinations of manuscripts
the author’s cats are sitting on the unfinished paperback,
early reviews from book bloggers
willing to buy the movies but not the books.
you leave me with
a used bookstore,
a library,
a book off my shelf,
and it hurts.

October 26: what it means to be a woman
she has
no
the wrong
too many
flaws
she is a person
she gets to be something.

October 25: side quest
it makes no sense

on a wonderful adventure,
with little scribbly maps

October 24: ingrained
the body learns
to glaze over the difficult years
in calmed numbness
but the actual injuries
from crowds and society
are much worse, and
move severely, sharply, deeper down

October 23: FINE: Fucked off Insecure Nervous and Exhausted
bitterness and brutal
I stood in traffic
attempted suicide
past the point of giving up
why not kill myself
all I was was fine

October 22: in fairytale land
after princes gamble on magic
they go back to their princesses
where wizards gift a wizard’s skill:
turn wine into water into sea
sea into women into roses
in the garden of roses
forgotten in a stranger’s spell
the mortal woman never healed

October 20: the state we’re in
you think you understand
but we are all rotting meat
who pretend to have a choice
in the fucking failing decay of society
and for what?
heartbreaking fuck all

from the bottom of my heart I make this request:

October 15: captain of my fate
I take down the flag of expectation,
for I am the captain of my fate.
with maps and guides to the route of my life,
I show myself mercy.
because all people want mercy;
those people need salvation too.
