Literature

8:00 am

I can't explain "blue" through this medium in the way I would need to in order to convey "morning light" And that can be attributed to the fact that I have no soul, maybe Or to the fact that I'm tired and it's 8:00 am and I haven't slept. I am realizing that small victories never had any appeal, Somewhere there is an ironing-board hidden behind a shelving unit reminding someone of the house they grew up in Somewhere there is a space between the floor and the ceiling where people stop getting &

Wet Bodies in the Lake

Fawn legs bend in young moss, Shoulders flush for camouflage, The Earth beats beneath us. Disrupt black waters and swim Until you're wrapped down in deep, Find ropes to tether branches, Our sisters sway slow near the water Soaking in the heat. We sleep, We breathe, We dance up trees. Make grass whistles in the dark, we throw rocks, catch colds Hot hands sliding. Wet bodies in the lake.

Olive Oil.

The night before the bomb dropped we tied balloons around our necks. I popped three of yours and neither of us went anywhere. Now, there are footsteps and my heart beats, too. (But I can never tell which is because of you.) And I ache. in all the right places, feeling good pain where my skull settles &#

I'll love you like water. by winterbelle, literature

Literature

I'll love you like water.

I don't know how old you are, but I love the years you've lived. Your hand against my cheek, a flutter of age and fear- I know I can't keep you with me. I can't make you better. I can't ease your furrowed brow. The permanent creases, your beautiful face. I have seen you young. I've seen the black and white photographs off kilter in their frames. decorating manila walls, haloing your plush rocking chair. Don't be scared your back will stop hurting. your heart will stop hurting. your eyebrows will grow in your hair will grow long and I

Where Cats Go. by winterbelle, literature

Literature

Where Cats Go.

I'm the girl who inhaled the world. Lucid dreaming backwards, kicking rocks Skipping rocks, stacking boulders Building the earth's womb, I planted dreams. The pyramids; triangle hips, sleep apnea; her postmortem floods and quakes Nine months later, I placed pennies over her eyes, Inhaled. Exhaled- And heaved out mounds of soil, wet vines, Some dark, cavernous underground. My ribs choked and packed Creation. My temper split Pangaea And by Sunday I had left Earth to live with the Cats.

My Bio

I'm a poet. I also sing in the band Incorporated Village of Ghost. (Take a listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoUCut…)
I make up words. I'm 99.9% sure we'll get along.

"here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)"

A life update! Exciting things!

0 min read

Woah, long time no update! I know I haven't been around here very much lately, but that's bound to change because I received some exciting news! I have been invited to join the Brooklyn-based writing circle, "Having a Whiskey Coke with You"! The members of this circle gather every second Tuesday of each month at a bar in Park Slope (the location varies every couple of sessions) to read their original work. The circle also publishes a monthly literary magazine and members of the circle get a guaranteed page in each issue dedicated to their work. I am so stoked to be a part of this tightly-knit group of exceptional writers. I am already good fr

THANK YOU FOR THE DD!!!

0 min read

Hello everyone! I know it's been a million years since I've updated this journal, but I have to thank GwenavhyeurAnastasia (https://www.deviantart.com/gwenavhyeuranastasia) for awarding me my first Daily Deviation! My poem Where Cats Go http://fav.me/d35r9w7 was awarded a DD some time last night, allowing me to wake up to the most flattering and wonderful influx of messages in my inbox! I'm currently working on putting a book of original poetry together and this DD was a huge incentive to get it done! Thank you everyone for commenting on and favoriting this piece. I am so floored by all your kind comments and praise! What an honor! :hug: ---------------
