please, her fingers wrap around your wrist and tighten please, make me disappear
your love was hard as concrete. i can still see your white teeth shinning telling me to hold still and smile, baby, we aren’t half way bad just yet. your love was freezer burned and i was eating through osmosis.
we laughed as we twisted indian burn love bites into each others skin. baby i’ll hurt you like you hurt me. baby i just wanted to hold you.
Anonymous asked: i am empty now and ruminating on the certainty of death, but what saddens me is the fact that it will come for you too. these are the thoughts that poets should keep to themselves, but sometimes the lava can't help but burn pompeii.

i’ll tell you the secret, he said. i leaned back and glanced around the red bricked patio of hidden paradise, dowtown hell, prairie life. the bicycles wove crooked paths and sang crooked songs and my skin had that soft warm pre-sweat smell to it. no thanks, i said.

secrethipstersociety:
They have photographed the brain and here is the picture, it is full of branches as I always suspected,
each time you arrive the electricity of seeing you is a huge tree lumbering through my skull, the roots waving.
It is an earth, its fibres wrap things buried, your forgotten words are graved in my head, an intricate
red blue and pink prehensile chemistry veined...

Mild mannered poet-girl by day, Feminist vigilante by night
choosing and shifting through the left over words (the ones you didn’t steal from my mouth) and i am lost still when you talk about how you’d never steal the covers, just the sheets

i feel dirty even talking about it.
like my mind should be cleansed with pinesol every time I think about intercourse.
but
I do think about it. Everyone does. And THEY say it’s overrated. I should get it over with. It’s always awkward-as-hell that first time anyways. and maybe it’s true....

Dear Alexander Ryking
threecrowsonequill:
I have recently come across your little quote:
“When some of the most prominent feminists and famous women make openly hateful anti-male statements, and the mainstream feminist organizations say and do nothing to distance themselves from such public statements, then it’s clear that the hatred of men has an accepted place in mainstream feminism.
Does this seem like a harsh...

Misandrist.
selfsamewoman:
I stopped arguing against people calling me a “misandrist” a long time ago. These are the reasons for why:
I’m not, nor do I plan to begin suggesting men’s rights are removed, diminished or otherwise altered.
I do not commit any acts of violence against men.
I do not believe that men are lesser human beings.
I believe that all genders should be equal and treated with respect....
i’m not sure of much right now but i think, i think, my heart is on a road trip
and it is somewhere east of toronto right now. i think, i think, it’s not even too sure itself if it’s looking to find you or forget you.
i believe i have fallen in love with you more than twenty different times. come closer, make me sigh a little deeper

So, I normally don’t talk about things like this, buuuut
Remember that man I met, who I went on two dates with, but then he moved to Italy? We’ve been emailing pretty much every day and he even called me from his Italian cell phone once. Today I woke up very late, very late indeed. I crawled out of bed and read an email from him, saying “It being Valentine’s Day I did...
