poetry

[kaberett]

I've got a small collection of poems open in tabs, so: have a selection of poems.

From exceptindreams/exceptindreams_feed, The Fox | Faith Shearin: It was an ordinary morning: November, thin light,/and we paused over our pancakes to watch/something red move outside...

ETA: and For the queer girls who dream of drowning, which broke my heart and had me sobbing at my desk; content notes for suicide, self-harm, and how heavily ten years weigh.

And from poetry:

• The Thing Is | Ellen Bass: to love life, to love it even/when you have no stomach for it
  
• Encounter | Amanda Jernigan: A friend, seeing his babe in ultrasound,/imagined it an astronaut, "behind/glass dome reflections, lost in space...,"
  
• An Insider's Guide On How To Be Sick | Andrea Gibson: Never say the words 'this is not my life'
