How to find ivory’s antecedent among these drifts of snow, restore the clover to its buried frozen form? And what about the girl with loneliness, her lush medium dressed in birds? Inside the dress embraces a range of mercurial gazes, an advanced degree in gleaning eyes from the wrist that turns the curves into contagious angles. It is hard not to die, and yet here, the singer and sewer,...

i always think i have my problems squared away at the end of the night and beginning of a new day. i always believe the false epiphanies that occur in my sleep wanting head. then the sun rises, birds wake and i remember why that two am solution would not work. and i’m back to square one.

“What do you think about Yoga?”
– miss chassé: thoughts on a rainy Wednesday morning, a bulleted list:
I’m taking a lot of time nowadays to just sit & breathe and do nothing else.
I’m sure Yoga will be great exercise. But that yoga breathing alone might do wonders.

i have to leave in twenty minutes and my hair is uncombed, pajamas intact and my face is not fit for the outside world. i am struggling to care at the idea of being late, not being perfect. all i can think about is how i don’t want them to find me.
Some poems by me
I don’t write long poems. I don’t even know I read long poems - I’m looking for little gems that one can carry with them throughout the day, no matter where they are.
Hope you find these of some use:
At Cistercian, New Student Mass, 9/23/12
At the Cafe Door (paraphrase of Cavafy’s original)

I just want to be breathtakingly beautiful and coordinated and undeniable and good at stuff and a famous author is that too much to ask?
Thinking.
Right now I’d be happy with a few more readers. The downside of being beautiful/handsome is that people don’t really pay attention, not the way one wants them to. They pay attention to get your attention.

Reduction – Rethink. →
Bonus points if you can figure out the video game that inspired this.
You didn’t say “I love you.” Instead, happy to be outside, thoughts about ideals and banners, responsibility and guilt. A bird flew by, not a symbol but a puzzle and we wondered about omens. Then I was hurt. Your reaction was swift, instinctive. I only hate how I didn’t think I was loved until distress.

You're a wonderful audience, and I'm thrilled to...
…but sometimes I wish you’d step up and be friendlier. A lot friendlier.
I don’t know if I’m going to make it big one day, be read by hundreds of thousands instead of hundreds. But let’s say that does happen. Maybe you’ll be happy being the person who was like “yeah, he was weird and on tumblr, it was cool liking his posts once in a while.”
