there is no conflict
in the way
I receive your love

from afar
or near

the heart
has its own measure

and distance
is not one of them

Today’s dysfunction
hypomania: insomnia and nightmares fueling mood fluctuations around assholes. They show me alternative versions of myself—uber sobering. I don’t handle this energy exchange well. I’m not okay, and around these cockroaches, I never will be.

✨
I feel beautiful
when I see myself through
your eyes.

And at night,
I still catch myself
writing your name beneath
the stars.

Is there a Heaven waiting for me
Do I have a home
Will you welcome me to your arms
Love me as your own

I Am Still Standing, Quietly
No announcements.
No milestones.
Just presence.
I used to think survival
needed witnesses.
It doesn’t.
It just needs consistency.

Ever want to hear a literary lecture from a Norwegian bartender? Watch Truman Capote have a hissy fit? Get to know what Donald Trump was like when he and McIntosh were in military school together?

Really interesting. Having taught several works by Octavio Paz in my humanities and Spanish classes, I definitely think there is a value in showing students how tenuous the division between poetry and prose can be

the woman who
accepts her
wild erotic nature
without warring with it
is the ancestor
with the power to
change bloodlines.
