"You cannot be afraid and you cannot be worried about who does and who doesn't like what you do, because there's always somebody who's not going to like it. If nobody doesn't like it, something's wrong with it."

The Broken Fingers of a Porcelain Lady

This one is weird. I'm not sure it is good. But I am weird. And I think I'm good. So, ha!

A poem can speak about desire without offering you access to its writer.

A Bridge Too Far by S.L. Sweede

"It’s not the Grand Canyon,
It’s when the sky empties out
All of the rain,
Lets it free too fast
Until our world is blue and clear,
Hollow,"

"I am a sea
I hold memory
And the feelings
The images
The tiny reels
And movies
They flow into the other
And I reach my hand
Scooping handfuls to drink
Without realizing that
Drinking the brine [...]"

Nature versus nurture
Lacks a season carte du jour.
July-born into a creeping wind chill
And whispers of fate’s allure.

🌗 Last Quarter
They say release and breathing
arrive together
so I turned my vibrator to level 3
and breathed.
A lot.

Deja Vu by S.L. Sweede

“In a dream
The sun brightens,
Burgundy and yellow leaves
Rotate in the air,
A funnel of earthy rot”

I write quickly. I'm learning to edit, but I wrote this in like 10 minutes and idk... sometimes I think it's better without all the fuss.

How I Came Back to Poetry by S.L. Sweede

“A large stone fist pulls the seed
And all the color out,
Gray dirt, no life,
I wondered why I
Planted myself in the wrong
Place”

Iconoclastic Melody of Female Ruin.

Something I just jotted down last night and finished this morning.

Do the embers in the mainframe dine on you too?

WAS Anne Bradstreet unaware her poems were being published...or was that just a story to make publishing as a woman socially acceptable?

I’m reading “Sea Witch” by Sarah Henning and “Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Brontë simultaneously.

The leaves are falling and I’m learning to surrender what I’ll never understand.

I am settling into myself and recognize her.

Once you've learned about the Sunk Cost Fallacy, you are able to see your fears for what they are : bad guests who've overstayed their welcome.
