punch-drunk love

march 2015 

remember when I kissed u
to punch-drunk love
u said that movie made u 
feel alive

& I bought a shirt that smells like ur house
(funny how I think of u now)
don’t care it if hurts I

told her I can live like this

new york is nice

october 2014

can't tell if I'm wildly depressed
or finally "happy" or at least
a stable individual
since you died

new york is nice
I think I'm in love, sometimes
I keep making lists on post-its
(cue "Nothing Gets Crossed Out")

painting wings makes me feel stronger
choosing outfits makes me feel stronger
I fix my eyebrows and feel

invincible

blue corn leaves

october 2014

you make me feel like
blue corn leaves
a cold morning
growing up
crying
saving things for later
and feeling warm

you make me want
to raise your children

and live in this moment forever

in love via internet

january 2015

why can’t I sleep at night?
I think abt u, like, a lot
feel like I would cum
the second u touched me

he traced my curves with his
skin/mouth on a dance floor
no one saw the way he did it
we didn’t know each other
but sometimes that feels good

I need to wear a shock collar
that stops me from 
r e a c h i n g
like an idiot, towards u

he takes me out and speaks french
when I’m too anxious and he
says breathless innocent things
sometimes I can’t help but
want him

I watch u ignore me online
I’ve watched u watch me in person
god I can’t wait

to watch u again

january 2015

is it okay to only like u for ur hands
do u care abt ur pride? 
sometimes people just 
make each other feel good

but I still wish he were mine

32 oz of orange juice

november 2014

I want to paint my face & cry & drink 32 oz of orange juice
I want to play ricky eat acid over lesbian porn & ponder my losses
maybe if I clean my room and light a vanilla scented candle
I will obtain a security in this world, yes, a valuable individual
I want to be heard, to be seen, to be feared as an indigenous woman
for all indigenous women and my best friend and my future children
I want to love an ocean within an ocean (slender shoulders)
I want to wake up. I want to stop sleeping in so late, drink coffee
fill my windowsill with plants who will never remember my name
I want to drink water w chia seeds & wash the paint off my lips
write a song act how much I love/d boy, only boy, always boy

write my L O V E for all down in purple ink & carry on

of course

november 2014

of course everyone likes you
I'm just small and shy
I think I'd write to be closer to you

I wanna pull your fucking curly hair
