Like clockwork, my dog will coughs out
his soul every night. With each cough,
I ask myself if he’s going to die and where
I will be. I don’t know what’s worse;
the fact that he will eventually pass
on, or the fact that I don’t want to
be there because I won’t be able to
take it.

words & turds: a poem for sarah and sara, and women who have lived with darkness:

wordsandturds:

when my lola visited from the philippines,
i begged my mother to let me sleep in her bed
we watched lifetime movies
while she braided my hair
and said
iha,
you are beautiful in a way
that men will never understand—
or appreciate
“they will always leave you”

i fell asleep in her lap.

…

So, to prevent this from rotting...

I picture the light shining in your face
The vestige of your aftertaste still lingers in my mouth
How long it’s been
I don’t remember now.

Sleeping in your car
We had nowhere to go
Nearly broke and out of petrol
We couldn’t go that far
Yet I don’t know where you are

- Probably one of my first attempts at writing poetry, maybe in 2007? Please be kind.

"We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck..."

sable adonis,     stay
    when you say that you will
stay,         because     you know
    that morning light is
always     softer to     face
when folded in
    arms that are
              not yours

sometimes it's just like

wordsandturds:

your mother came to this country with $16 and one suitcase, built your life with her young, overworked, brown hands, and you are just some navel-gazing piece of shit with a penchant for mean men and bad habits whose best part of the day was learning that cruel intentions is on netflix instant and then getting drunk with a friend and watching an episode of toddlers & tiaras

I know its hard, but I promise I’ll be better.
