do your hands hurt from holding them against your father
’s antlers does our slow death
have a flag we could burn

[transcript: 1. “and oh, my love, if you only knew how i long for you; how i waste my days wishin’ you would come around, just to have you around.”
2. “i love you. i say your name all the time when you’re not around just to put more of you in the world.”
3. “the number of hours we have together is actually not so large. please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.”
4. “what is the use of eyes if i’m not looking at you? it’s almost like they’re magnetic. almost, but made sweeter that they’re not: i can choose any sight or direction & here i am picking you.”
5. “…because feathers are strange. (start highlight) all i want is to finally take off my cowboy hat and show you my jeweled horns. if we slow dance i will ask you not to tug on them, but secretly i will want that very much.”
6. “i love you, jack, he said. i love you, jack, he said, at another station. when passengers come in from strange cities, the citizens come out to help the strangers. i love you, too, i said. i love you, too, i said.” /end transcript]

I have SO many ideas about Percy and Zora in a situation where they’re not actively enemies or anything but they’re on Tense ground you have NO IDEA. I love them. They’re so sad to me. It’s great.
#epithet erased#percy king#percivial king#zora salazar#not even in a romantic way (tho it’s cool if u like that)#they’re just so t r a g i c together#percy#who would help and defend people to no end#and zora#who would refuse any help and kindness until it kills her#they’re too determined and too strong willed to give in to the other if they set their mind to it#it’s an endless fight where nobody wins#but they’d do it anyways#cause Percy has to try#and Zora has to fight back

poetry is sick because i will read an entire epic novel in one sitting then stand up and go to dinner but then i want to read some poetry, i get through ONE poem and it's enough emotional damage for me to just sit in silence for the next hour processing the words i just took in

Q: At the driver parade you drove around with Sebastian, how did that happen?
MS: I didn’t want to drive around by myself […] so we borrowed a car for a second.

I imagine all the
flowers we’ve trampled
are growing in paradise,
ready to forgive us.

hi hannah! i'm sorry if you've answered this before, but do you have any favorite poetry books/anthologies? i'm looking into reading more collections instead of just individual poems. thanks so much (love your blog btw)!
Hello! I’m always happy to recommend! Here are some of my old favorites & some new exciting collections that I’ve devoured!! ❤️
Favorite collections:

* Headless John the Baptist Hitchhiking: Poems by C. T. Salazar
* Come the Slumberless To the Land of Nod by Traci Brimhall

* The Renunciations: Poems by Donika Kelly
Newly published collections I’ve adored:
* Trace Evidence: Poems by Charif Shanahan
* The Shared World: Poems by Vievee Francis
* I Do Everything I'm Told by Megan Fernandes (this technically isn’t out until next week but I LOVED this collection and highly recommend picking it up)
* Bianca by Eugenia Leigh
* Judas Goat: Poems by Gabrielle Bates
Not a huge anthology reader but I’ve really enjoyed these:
* The Dead Animal Handbook: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry
* We Want It All: An Anthology of Radical Trans Poetics
* Nepantla: An Anthology Dedicated to Queer Poets of Color
* Living Nations, Living Words: An Anthology of First Peoples Poetry
