Poet. Movie geek. Dramatic but lazy. Wistfully nonchalant. Passionately disinterested in oxymorons.

I miss the
#giddinness of youth,
#knee slapping laughter
at the smallest thing

now, I peck desperately
for joy like a magpie
picking up scraps
with my #beak

but sometimes
I get a #visitor,
my fun, crazy sister
& we laugh 'til we cry,
like we're fifteen
all over again.

I so relate 😅😅❤️❤️

Shadows of the past
crowd my days—
spectres in my kitchen,
ghosts next to me
on the bus,
phantoms walking
my daydreams.

What they seek
I don't know
but I don't trust
their silent footsteps.

I smile through them,
hoping they don't
see through me
so easily.

Is that #destinycalling
or just you
on my phone?
or are they one
and the same?

If I say your name
three times, in the
hidden recesses
of my mind
will you appear
before me
so that we can
maybe
steal away
to sanctify
our destiny?

The #clamor
of reality.

Oh hush!

Let me remain
in the silent
in-between
where art resides—
the liminal zone
between
real world
& dream world.

I can float there
eternally,
untethered
to either,
no need to
commit my soul
to heaven or hell
when I can dwell
in bohemia.

That #thing
that I'm seeking?
Ah yes, motivation

while it pours,
#sublime ly
upon me,
I let it drip
from my #raincoat
of procrastination,
eking into the soil
beneath my feet

later I'll #unearth it,
bringing it back
to the #top

but for now
let me just put
my umbrella up

11/11 A literary poem thats been set to music

Slow Day by Charles Bukowski, sung by Kristin Asbjornson for the movie Factotum (based on Bukowski's book of the same name)

I absolutely love this song
