I mostly loved Frankenstein, but especially the cinematography - really beautiful📽️❄️

elude the light - the softness of our fall

okay, a little moon poem 🌙

what if I moved through this world feeling brave & beautiful, what then?

all mistakes are past mistakes

listen, as soon as I resolve my mental health issues & get my novel published & get a tuxedo cat & move into an old victorian house & start journaling & doing yoga & meditating & drinking enough water it’s over for everyone who ever doubted me!! narrator: nobody doubted her, she is being dramatic

I have a lot of baggage* *hundreds of unfinished poems about birds and the moon that I lug around in a suitcase on wheels

okay, a little moon poem 🌙

Do the thing that makes you want to die the most. Go write your book.

being kind is great actually

Ted Kooser’s “Starlight”

staying humble over here beaver moon 🌕 you gnaw through my heart & don’t give a dam

You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. — Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum

So grateful to have poems in this beautiful issue of Louisiana Literature, and to get to hold this poem in print on the same porch I wrote it on :)

my friend sent this to me about 1-2 months before they passed away, and it’s not lost on me what a special gift it is, and I was thinking maybe I could crack it open today, maybe . . .

REAL.

Tonight's sunset...

asked my nephew, who loves fortnite, if he wants fortnite 2 for his birthday and I was laughed at into oblivion

More than usual at the first overtures of frost I want to burrow into my covers & hibernate & winter & poetry

to miss you is a blackbird's shadow; light fallen silent, words caged

making sweet potato brownies today if anyone wants one 😌🫶

we have reached the time of year when I will look at the clock in my car and think “it would take me one minute to change that” every day until march

“nothing gold can stay.”

watching the leaves fall, the red and gold trees, the crisp air, sighing ✨ 🍁

Good morning, Bluesky.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

I had a dream that I got rejected by someone I really liked. They let me down gently, saying, "You're not right for me at this time, but I encourage you to keep trying. My taste is subjective." My eyes glistened as I whispered, "Thank you, thank you, The New Yorker literary magazine."
