[archivingheartbeats]

Mountains, castles, and cathedrals rise

Up from the sea-damp and sandy shore,

Their bulwarks imagination's prize.

Fleetingly they stand, and then no more.

Bitter wind will batter fragile walls,

And come scrape the sculptured edge away.

Still in the time until vision falls,

Small joys are found where the sea holds sway.

A shell window, hole an empty door,

Fingerprints a crennelation high;

Gull's feather tree from lost land before,

White and proud beneath an ice-blue sky.

Echo of a tower holds no bells

To sing out the hour on Sunday morn.

Mountain keep is far from all its dells,

Sole image from some loved book reborn.

[poetically-imperfect]

I believe that all life is precious and should be treated as such. I have known several men who served time on death row. Because of the changed individuals I've seen—men who are truly remorseful and sorrowful for their past actions—I stand firm on the belief that there should be an end to the death penalty.

I have never had a loved one killed, so I cannot understand the grief a family who has experienced such may go through. What I can say, however, is that the killing of one life doesn't revive the original life lost. On top of this, are we any better than the convicted killer if we strive for their execution, ending their life?

At some point, humanity must believe in itself and strive for betterment. Rehabilitation should always be the goal. I have watched lives be transformed behind the razor wire enough to say that change does exist—that the way people think and act and view life can change. If you don't believe such change exists, then you must not believe in change at all. If you don't believe in change at all, then you are nothing more than the sum of all the mistakes and poor choices you've ever made in your life. Doesn't sound fair, does it? Grace and love overpower condemnation and hate every time.

2/30. can you tell i was hungry while writing this lol.  text id under cut.

OUROBOROS

 April, a month of hunger and renewal, licks my skin

           with its warmth, drooling rain & snow over me

                       like a feral dog—coveting field strawberries a month away,

           greenhouses shorten the wait to mere weeks before one can bite

                       into firm juicy sweet flesh that isn’t the either of us.

           I’m rotting fruit—fermenting but not in the sweet way, and you will

                       ripen by the end of this poem. Hold my name in your mouth,

                                   what becomes of me in a day, a fortnight, a month?

                       Am I mead, or soft fruit macerated for the purpose of consumption?

           I have no opinion on the way you choose to consume me—but lord, let it be gentle,

                       let it be soft, bite into every part as one does soft-shelled crabs,

                                   get to the marrow and tell me it rivals foie gras,

                       tell me the suffering rendered me something worthwhile.

[tea--stained]

I will call you my birthland because you are not home. You're a handful of old lovers and a pocketful of dreams. Green fields, grey seas. Lost selves and scars and opportunities.

I will call you my birthland because you are not home. But you are me and my history. A census filled with past lives. Seven beds where I lay my head and four hearts where I left my mark.

I will call you my birthland because you are not home. You are paths not taken, and endless railroads where I found my self. You can take the girl out of the birthland, watch it follow her everywhere she goes, like a shadow that sometimes casts light.

I will call you my birthland because you are not home. You're an unfaithful friend and a devil I know, a mirror of past mistakes and chapters closed. I'm not coming home because I have none, but I have a birthland with no birthright.

convenience store (20220430)

the words are a different lexicon or maybe a foreign language an alien tongue licking alien lips and rolling over whatever passes for teeth on alpha centauri the words, oh the words, they squirm like flagella in an electric petri dish refusing to stay still refusing boundaries and definition if a dictionary could only speak and read my mind and tell me what i'm thinking

[archivingheartbeats]

Dark and warm as the womb of the world,

And vulnerable as a wound

Is my heart's kingdom.

I descend to my hideaway down a long stone stair.

The caves of my soul harbor living gems,

But its citizens are ghosts and memories,

Visions of maybe-worlds

And misfit monsters.

My teeth shall be stalactites to defend them.

I came by this kingdom by leaving

The sunshine and flower-children

For the safety of deep night and bioluminous stars.

I do not regret it, though the juice of my choices is bittersweet.

Though our springs run yellow as citrine,

Our fruits gleam of garnets.

I will not be sole princess of this land.

My monsters and my ghosts are heirs and sisters,

Adopted monarchs of the caves we roam.

It begins (late)

Day 1 prompt:fresh start

Late night radio static,

Stars that cry when the road yawns out ahead of us

No traffic

We are two

The only two in the world

that bites to tear us away

And swallow us whole

I don't cry

barely speak, I'll fall asleep

To the sound of the static

And your fingers tapping against the wheel

Hold back

Sounds in waves, rage of the sea still

Ringing in my head

The storm that shook it out of me

The world that won't stop breathing to let us live
