Curdling Milk

If you are looking for things to put vodka in do not choose milk. If you find yourself wandering the house like a ghost, like a futureless cloud, do not choose milk. If you are wishing for a vice. Wishing to smoke or drink or fight or slice or break. There is nothing in the world that will give you this. When your thoughts turn to the cold white virginal taste of another animal’s toil. Do not choose it. Take the coffee instead. The bitter brown sense of loss. Take that instead.

whatever is here is the most how i feel about my life right now.

it doesn't make me cryDrinking upright on a tall stool in my kitchen; the cabinet stays open because nobody wants to get caught when Mom gets home, despite popcorn wrappers on the couch, trash on the floor, this poem on my laptop’s monitor. Crème de cacao tastes like chocolate on fire. With just three more ingredients I could make my first grown-up drink, besides hard lemonade, one of those Mardi Gras Mistakes you hear so much about among the young. I don’t know anyone who feels young anymore. I just know a tall stool a it doesn't make me cry

When you forget your own nameI am sky, I am tree, I am language. I am what I love and I am nothing at all. A half of a tumbleweed senseless and gone.
Suppressing the redneck because I don't talk like that. Is it love? Is it mindless desperation? If he roars like an angry fire but with pain, and I have neither wings nor antennae but just a kite, do I leap forward or fall away? The sun burned me anyway and the sun says it ain't love, just a Valentine three days late when the prisoners gave up God already. Like how the Christians tell it. And I am that, and I am nothing. & When you forget your own name

left blank Mirror, who are you? Are you cool and glittering and clear, no clutter in your brain? If I hold you close will you take me there? Or will you just take on me?--
It is 97 degrees outside. I am weeding. Pulling out bad things, encouraging flowers. Hating plant metaphors but shit, nothing else grows anymore but life with no feelings. A jealous rage and there go the begonias and I still have no real roots to hide in the cool dark earth; even hot dry sand escapes me. No leaves to push my heart away. left blank

your words, my mouthi went through this phase of trying to find my life in strangers’. their pictures. their words. somebody give me a story, mine is boring and sliding in and out of place. i am a kid on a beach throwing stones and a kid is a safe thing to be because you aren’t old and you aren’t really young. i know this. i know about the seagulls on the mississippi river and how they won’t know you even if you feed them. i know about why the planet needs saving. i know about stories now, telling them and using them to not become one o your words, my mouth

Most Improved City BlockI
You built a house in the welfare neighborhood.
You tore down the forest and piled it into a mountain, and then you tore down the mountain. I think this was
just for effect. You built that house, surrounded by children,

disease and dead bodies, the way any slum should be.
And then you left without notice, you couldn't understand
the way the children put their arms around the dead body;
put their finger's in it's mouth without flinching; reaching.

Liliesthere is a lily right
in
the centre
in the centre of me
and it just sits there
the centre
of me
with its mouth open as if to welcome

"come"

and men come they come and
stick in their tongues stick in their fingers stick in their cocks
right in the
centre of me
it just sits there
quiet while my body stretches and squirms
sits there swallowing semen
this lily in Lilies

vague request

Sun Apr 12, 2009, 4:07 PM

I've always wanted to make a zine. One outside of the Internet, for the time being. And I have the paper, and my artistic friend is coming to visit me for a few days. So if any of you want to send me some artwork or writing or pretty much anything to put in this zine that we may or may not actually end up making (but that I will do someday, FOR REALS), I would probably be...really obnoxiously grateful. I will of course put it in however you want me to, and say whatever you want me to say about it. And whenever I actually do this, I'll take pictures or something and put them on DA, and if you want some I could probably make copies?...I dunno. I'm just kind of practicing random wish fulfillment, yanno? Mostly mine, but still.

Other things that should happen this spring break:

--the website (probably, I am sorry I cannot recall this for certain)

made me will probably go up, unless life gets away from me as it is kind of doing.

--I will finish every. last. project. I. will. ever. have. to. do. in. high. school.

--other exciting things (maybe not)!

Anyway. If there's anything you would like included in a (maga)zine made by me, I would be thrilled to include it. A lot.

(Oh yay, Pandora just spat Journey at me!)

I have decided that to favorite everything in your gallery would be obnoxious and excessive. Therefore I will watch you, and hopefully you will take from it that I've read the first five-odd pieces in your gallery and they are all fantastic.
