they get married without a wedding cake-

Literature / Poetry / Narrative / Free Verse

can you hold it against—
a sycophantic apparition in the daylight
you've got patent leather heels toeing through the ash
he's a blight in the night with sky stained black
ink and glass slashed in the middle of a map
in the pouring rain

waiting for the call
where there's blood there is love in a
casket or a house that was a museum before
and a store or a bed and breakfast
in the guise of a business arrangement
instead of splendid cavalier

he's your romeo and you're his new perspective
wrapped in contract wax and gauzy continuity

he
　　　　says
　　　　　　　　things
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　that
people shouldn't
[ murmur how to pick a lock, steal a car
that her nails don't quite match her lipstick and ]
you cannot ignore
[ to make improvised incendiary weapons
out of matchsticks and petrol soaked rags ]

although you are made up of ash dust,
vermillion papercuts, coy whispers of lewdness
his inspired compliments
breathing enough to say he's not unpretty
licking blood off your fingers
and respire in time to say
i do

tides“Is it her?” They walked down on the shore far enough from the water that waves did not splatter their shoes with sea foam. She bent down to pick up a cracked shell and run the tip of her finger along its bumpy edge. Her silhouette curled into itself, an indistinguishable mass of shadow on the wet sand.
“Who else would it be?”
“I’m happy for you,” She meant it sincerely, “and surprised you didn’t ruin it.”
“Pardon?” Out of the corner of her eye she could see his outline, lean against the red and yellow horizon.
“I know your type, and I know you better. You are the cynic who refuses to believe there is someone out there who can see there is something left of you other than what the world did not take.”
“Poeticism disgusts me. The world was ornery. The people are the cruel ones.” She knew better than to have wounded feelings. &tides by ~somethingsophie

juncture studyi know why you stay away when we could be alone, but your two-pronged diagnostic is only half correct im afraid. its flattering, really, i am not offended as you might think characteristic of a picasso half thoughtful, half slayed. really you shouldnt have tried so hard to keep your distance. if i am, as you think, a fascinating specimen, an inglorious study on the fundamental mistakes of human existence, then ill be subject to your muse and scrutiny.

you speak like a saint but youre not one for sacrilege, i see it in your eyes. i am a snake and you are a disconnected shard of alive, you are not adam or eve or breathing. you fancy yoursjuncture study by ~somethingsophie

paper flower pressed worriesroughed drips of sun in wet light you bathed there for me to find you in the subtle
of sleep like the press of trumpet shelled lily's arms placed on paper frail & shy of thin as
your lungs blanket in a shiver of salt water dream for only arms of Galene to keep wilting,
closing in the breath of winter's cold frame of cypress blooms stealing every little moment
we could have caught in the blue limbs of the looking glass "and i'd like to turn back
time," though this it lapses in a film's negative spectrum the forgotten stem minolata xd-7s
holding quiet, as the window flowers. unmoving with the thyme of sadness roughed like
the arbutus flowering in my hands held them in helpless so but the bless of red cypress,
blossoming grace of august spring seems to be the only language of flowers spoken

1919little black boy beat to death on all-white, all-pure beach.
swimming away from segregation he'd got coursing through his veins,
heard the white boys in his Chicago Public School spit his vernacular
like over-chewed gum: dry and shriveled and useless.

little black boy beat to death on all-white, all-pure beach
didn't mean no harm, just wanted to drown himself gone
from lynching parties in his backyard. barely has a house –
home is momma's arms.

little black boy's got the plight of white flight in his melanin-rich skin.

IN OTHER NEWS.
i'm going to prom because an upperclassman asked me and we're friends and my sister's bf is taking her and a lot of my friends are going so why not?? the theme is james bond and its at universal studios so it should be fun. so much for prom being a special senior thing.
track season ended. set the jv league record in the mile (and finally beat the girl who was beating me all season) but someone broke my 800 record. so i guess it balances out.
i'm really excited for iowa young writer's studio even though it's not until july. i get my roommate's contact info in a couple weeks and i cannot stop thinking about it.
seriously hoping i get all the honors/aps i requested for next year because my present math class is unforgivably boring.
i'm trying to grow my hair out because i think it'd be prettier but it's sort of shaggy right now and i want to cut it again but i also want it to be pretty so i'm very conflicted.
speech/debate cabinet interviews are next week and i'm not really nervous but i feel like i should be.
i need to write more but i don't have the time and it makes me sad.
