The night-wind of August Is like an old mother to me. It comforts me. I rest in it, As one would rest, If one could, Once again— It moves about, quietly And attentively. Its old hands touch me. Its breath touches me. But sometimes its breath is a little cold, Just a little, And I know That it is only the night-wind.
Wallace Stevens, from Collected Poetry and Prose

it's august and i still couldn't love consistently
i chipped a molar and caught a cold the same day i met august in a poppy field. still a decoy, still a storm perpetually mistaken as the calm. she didn't impale me but didn't make me feel golden either, and the pewter sky only watched as she stroked my hair. a snake swallowed the sun last week, there's nothing much to do so i stayed in bed and injected poignant songs into my bloodstream. the next morning, an internet friend thanked me for existing. i would've told him i love him if my thoughts weren't filled with how much i hate the things i do lately. still, the sky ruptured and bellowed on. i tore my gums. i breathed the day away. had i known, i wouldn't seek love in cigarette butts if i knew it would only make me incapable of loving some things consistently.

august slipped away like a bottle of wine and stained these sheets crimson. teach me a word that’s harder to say than “goodbye”; we cradle this insatiable grief so carefully in our hands, you would think it’s our religion.
we write poetry in the backseat, with ink the colour of the night sky. i want to show you constellations from the parking lot of the mall. ignore the blood on my hands, i spill my guts in the name of art on the bathroom floor. oh, the things we do for the hope of it all.
summer built a home inside of us but we haven’t seen the light of day in years. so much for summer love, so much for facing our worst fears. let the wounds burn. let the end hurt down to my very bones. let me bleed myself dry at your rusted door, it means i’m finally coming home.
// august
(monthly issue part ii being early coz i’m impatient; aaannddd i’ve taken bits of it from the creator of this month, taylor swift’s ‘august’)
