“Poetry is the hero of philosophy. Philosophy raises poetry to the status of a principle. It teaches us to recognize the worth of poetry. Philosophy is the theory of poetry. It shows us what poetry is, that it is one and all.”

— Novalis, Logological Fragments II

What advice do you have for a 14 year old girl?

This is so vague I love it. The voices you are hearing are real, god is speaking to you. The nation of France needs you. Don your armor, take up arms, lead the French army. This is your destiny, joan. When the flames come for you let them lick your bones and laugh.

streaks of sun

blink the breeze away

gold as honey

the day twinkles

with a soft

mischievous whisper

as if only i am living it

making shapes

beautiful and simple

to the nude eye

leading me down

the melting road

transcending beyond this

butter gilded dream

melody on the radio

filling my ears with softness

stirring a yearning in me

that timidly wishes

the liquid gold of the afternoon

would solidify

into substance

maybe the phantasm touch

that gently grazes me

could fossilise

coagulate

strong as stone

thick as blood

into tender flesh and bone

as the incandescence of the eve

seems all too brilliant

for me to conceal

nurtured for my own gaze

my heartstrings tear

away from my core

sighs its surrender

and twist themselves

around the scintilla of hope that

the saffron dapple promises

and quietly

and momentarily

a luminescent goodness

decides i can keep this moment

if only for one more shaky breath

the hierarchy of compliments goes like this:

drunk girls in the bathroom complimenting your outfit

little kids complimenting literally anything about u

little old ladies at the checkout till

librarians on your reading choices

Sarah Perry, "The Essence Of Peopling"

i got my first tattoo when i was fourteen.

it reminded me of you.

its soft edges, its beauty.

the adrenaline.

it was like nothing i had ever felt before.

i could not stop looking in the mirror,

because i knew that i would see it again.

it was my favourite tattoo.

now i want to scrub it off my skin.

it is naivety, foolishness.

it is sickness.

i am sixteen and pure, and i want it removed forever,

but that only means more pain.

i hide it under sweaters,

in hopes that i will forget,

in hopes that i can get other tattoos that will feel nicer, feel fresh.

in hopes that maybe you never even existed in the first place.
