There's a swirly black box
With swirly white music
I keep it in my closet
When I just can't bear to use it

My brother throws rocks
At the songs he can't hear
I'll turn up the faucet
So at least he feels near

Five hours later
When my ears are fast asleep
I'll turn off the speaker
We always go too deep

He sings that he hates her
That canine of a lady
Her stories are much bleaker
Her notes are more shady

A star with a face
A woman with no clothes
A stereophonic sweater
For the cold nights down below

Swirly white case
With swirly black music
Although I know better
I just can't help but use it

Pyhainpaiva

Each grave sits alone in the dark winter's night, illuminated by a soft candle left many hours ago by the small hands of a grandchild, or perhaps the withered and tired hands of a widow. All Saints Day has come and gone in Finland, and once again the tombstones wait out the heavy emptiness of a cold November sky. An echo falls upon the snow from the north; the River Aura insists on making herself known. She scorns her black invisibility delivered by the misty atmosphere and rushes on towards the city. There, surely, she will find light and life willing to pay her proper recognition. It is unlikely that the tombstones remember the city. It

Tacos

Tacos are a food of creating new things. The fillings are kindness and a boost of self esteem. The sauces are sass and compliments. The wrapped is nights at a sushi restaurant and working together. Because tacos are the food that create the most beautiful things.

november14th.

i never had an actual birthday where i could sit back and reflect on what the world has given me thus far. i've never had the teenager-themed "surprise parties" and the traditional gift-giving, pinata-hitting, pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey slash spinthebottle games that dash away reality for the given special day. sunsets and silhouette dreams that smash reality into confetti and funfetti-half ass made birthday cake with the number of ages presented into falling-apart icing. i never understood why society would celebrate a passing year when ultimately the person is getting closer to growing into obligations of responsibilities. but for mothers

stormchaser

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

girls on a roof.

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

if i could invent words

i would like to create a word for what one feels when they realize: if we were birds, the only cage we would be in are the ones we create ourselves. how many times have our wings been clipped by our own hands alone. christ, i'm sorry. dear past self: i apologize for trying to define you; for definition is the metaphorical cage to change. the only limit the sky has is how far we can see.

nothing left but the paranoia

they say crows never forget and i am terrified this is true. see, the other week, i hit a crow with my car & they saw. they saw, and if they remember, then they know, and if they know, they will come. here is the thing: i am terrified they can see me & i am terrified they can not. my thoughts lately are a spiral, a maze, with an entrance but no exit. i am lost. i am lost, and they know. last week, i saw a cat, eating a crow, and in my mind, i am the cat, i am the crow, i am the car that hit the crow, i am my thoughts lost in my maze, and what if they see me.

Full Title: "Fly What, Turn Where, Look How?"

Written about The Aeroplane Flies High, a music box-set I bought a couple years ago, one of my favourite possessions.

The fourth stanza actually refers to "Annie-Dog," a song not in the collection. Oh well.

The title is based off of the title of a song in the collection: "The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right)"

Okay, think that's about it. Sorry for all of the omitted information last time!
