I love that morning when I was twenty and had just met someone very
important (though I didn't know it) and I walked down an almost
empty State Street because it was still early and not at all late—and of
course I could change everything (though I also didn't know it)—I
could find anyone, go anywhere, I wasn't sorry for who I was.
from Love
Alex Dimitrov
My body is filled by a summer of lust and I can't tell the difference between desire, longing, and all the sweet speeches love hoards. Something deeper grinds its teeth on metal, mocks and preens in cold rooms where a glass breaks and women wear rich gowns that weigh more than they do. Death mating with Beauty. Night roaring and the cathedral holding its ground against the strength and purring of the wet couple undone by a power only the earth could love. The Small Thing Love Is Linda Gregg

Man, feels better than a

often, I think to myself: I'm the youngest I'll ever be.
my obsession with age disturbs me entirely
not that I don't like change, moreso, I have a rather teenage fear of death
I'd like to enroll in classes but never take them
get right up to the edge and
never fall
apply to jobs just for the hope of it- never live it
never true/never real/never stuck and pigeonholed like my mother was when she immigrated to america
and felt like she had accomplished her dreams only to be stuck with a man that didn't love her and
people that couldn't hear her and a daughter that didn't know her world
I love knowing that my poetry is a cliché
I love pushing deep into a catastrophe and letting it run its course- with my heart displaced
I love being young and wrong
I will never love you more than I love nothing.
