lets go lesbians lets go “there's a wolf prowling about. have you heard?” I turn to her as she whispers this to me, dark hair shining as the small fractals of light from the stained glass window reflect upon its silky surface. my eyes widen a fraction, confused. “no, well– I guess I have. I assumed that was what had been…” a silence falls, and the preacher teetering behind the pulpit continues ... » Continue Reading
that thing where your alien boyfriend doesn't know how to show affection properly it's another one of those nights - where he's staring at her instead of the TV as they lounge in bed, his clear blue eyes wide like little stars as they move back and forth over the planes of her face. he watches as her own gaze darts from the TV to meet his, and he looks away shyly as she grins at him. » Continue Reading
"it's my birthday." the words are sudden, surprising. the man looks up from the girl's knee, which he has been dabbing with a cotton ball soaked with bactine. he blinks. "what?" he says, thoroughly confused as he presses the cotton ball on the purplish bruise for far too long. the girl makes a little hissing noise and he removes it. "sorry. it's your birthday?" she nods, dark hair falling over h... » Continue Reading
"someone wrote this girl's name in my yearbook. Angeline. do you know who that is?" "oh, uh, I don't know." "I looked through all of the class pages - we don't have an Angeline here." "yeah, uh, it's kind of like, a prank the seniors do every year." "a prank? I don't get it. what's so funny about writing some girl's name in a stranger's yearbook?" "well like, there's a rumor about a girl with t... » Continue Reading
"you look like a mermaid." the girl perks up at his voice as he speaks. she turns her head to face him as he sits on the tiled floor of the bathroom, back pressed against the pink porcelain of the tub. the girl grins at him. "really?" she asks, teeth glinting in the dull, sickly yellow light. the man nods. "mhm. if mermaids existed, you'd be one." the girl swipes a few strands of wet hair away f... » Continue Reading

more poetry. hope you enjoy !! sometimes, when i'm in bed at night when the cicadas are chirping incessantly, desperate to be heard and when the moonlight filters through the broken blinds of the window i think about what the people at home are saying about me i wonder if they've finally decided that i'm dead yet, forgotten about me completely or if a solemn few are still holding out hope that i'm... » Continue Reading
hi here's a little thing i wrote (poem? story? idk) abt some characters of mine. hope u enjoy even just a little bit when he finds her, she's sprawled out on the lawn in front of his trailer, the yellowed grass scratching her bare legs her shoes long gone one sock missing dirt staining the fabric of her clothes she's a runaway, he thinks, he knows it for sure, actually one of those roadkill girl... » Continue Reading
Dream i had in which i was a solider in ww1 (i think i've been consuming too much ww1/ww2 related media recently) I crawl out of a hole in the ground, peering up at the gray sky. the barren, muddy land stretches out as far as I can see and there are craters filled with rain water and dead bodies everywhere. everything smells damp. the stench of death wafts through the air. there are three of us, ... » Continue Reading
