V. Broken

Monday morning's minutes, minutia & microtragedy:

peel eyes from eyelids. OPEN. (one in a bed built for two, bought for two, betrayed by one) 4:30 am says the wristwatch on the carpet. (he took the alarm clock when he left).

STRETCH. taut, clenched muscles scream protests between feet & knees, knees & hips. hips & shoulders. shoulders & elbows & hands. girl limbs...

As soon as start to believe that you can no longer surprise me, I realize that I've lied to myself once again. I just need to accept the fact that you will never cease to amaze me.

I don't mean to cheapen your gift (or your pain), but someone should be paying you a fucking lot of money to do this.

just the perfect amount of drama in this one. you know, with all that those damn tounge clucking, morning fucking birds would allow.

VI. Girls Like Her

"Holy Jesus fuck!", she breathes.

I glance over at her.

She has lived here her entire life. She's watched this sun set behind the Pacific Ocean every afternoon. Or any afternoon that she bothered to look up and notice anyway. But, still the fiery pastels of dusk impressed her, so much so that she muttered blasphemous curses. She was skin and...

V. Quittance

She called me tonight. I was glad it was her. Shes the reason I plugged the phone back in.

So, anyway., she says immediately - as if she was continuing a conversation rather than initiating one, He is so confusing, Julie, I swear to fucking God.

She doesnt need to clarify her pronouns. I know without thinking and she says without speaking. Weve...

III. Blood Sisters
I was seven years old, when we moved to a new town, to a new school, to new things that kept me up late nights. I was a pillar of ashes that sat, sleep deprived, at recess, reading books to stay awake and to avoid the strange kaleidoscope of unfamiliar faces.

"Kate, sweetie, why don't you play with your new classmates? You...

II. The History House Mysteries

In the summer of 1989, we moved into my mother's childhood home.

The wood flesh of 702 Shannon Way bore mute scars, silently taunting Emelia and I with the confirmation of life we hadn't lived. It was a bare boned skeleton of walls and sliding doors - exposed rods hidden in empty closets, My grandmother bequeathed to us only the...

I. Nyctophobia

Why do we say that we are afraid of the dark when it isn't the dark that we fear at all, but the possibility of what could be in the dark?

i remember being very young, sharing a bedroom with an even younger sister who had this fear that, to me, was always rather irrational. i imagined the nightmares that vibrated off the...

this was the first one i read. tv blaring, music playing, and me goofing on nekkid woman site. the first few lines and all my distractions were muted out of my mind, leaving only room your beautiful words. thank you

What a completely contrived and ridiculous holiday. Tradition and religion propogate these silly rituals and we're all so bored with our monotonous lives that we let paper hearts and doilies whip us into consuming frenzies.

Every guy I know is stressed to some varying extent about what his obligations are. Gross. I think I might vomit on roses and a heart shaped box of chocolate....

Whatever poison's in this bottle will leave me broken sore and stiff.
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at.
He owes me one last wish.
So here's a present to let you know I still exist.
I hope the next girl that you kiss has something terribly contagious on her lips.

But I got a plan (I got a plan)

A Bus Ride

Strangers- sitting, commuting and waiting.
Maybe loving or hurting, planning or hating.

Sometimes eye contact says too much.
We're leaning so our thighs don't touch.

The words on the bus go round and round.
This is what we said when we didn't make a sound.
Just observing and extracting,
interpreting and reacting.

We're closer than we'd like to be,
avoiding things that...
