The pull on my flesh was just too strong; Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs. Better not to breathe than to breathe a lie

knees knocking on consoles
floorboards creaking
the padding of your feet sounds like
an earthquake at four in the morning
but laughter at dawn sounds quiet
somehow it blends
with the hues of the sky
and it weaves itself into the beginning of the rest of your life
loss isn't something you've experienced yet
your old apartment burnt to a husk
but you haven't burned like that yet
not yet, not yet
you watch the sunrises and the sunsets
and know the clouds like the backs of your palms
they remind you of yourself
always moving, changing, but clouds nonetheless
the ocean is something you've never seen
but you can hear it
in the shells your friends bring back for you
distance, you think, is the greatest gift
suddenly, you're on fire,
you've never been on fire before
the ocean can't save you
and distance, you find, is a burden
sometimes, your eyes still burn
and you have to clutch the pillow
because it's the only way you can sleep
when you're alone, alone, alone

You kiss me with your mouth wide open like you’re not afraid of swallowing poison. I taste the good and bad in you and want them both. We call this bravery.

a solemn boat drifting out to sea,
only ridges of mountains say goodbye to me.
and you, my dear, you were there too,
silently begging from behind eyes of blue.

god,
it's like having a conversation
at the bottom of a swimming pool
but i guess that's suitable because you always did
make my lungs feel two sizes too small
i'm staring at you through a hundred broken lenses like
everything is valued in a different shade of blue
and i keep trying, i keep trying but
air bubbles dance up around me everytime i open my mouth to speak
— they dance as i sink and why are they dancing?
distantly, i can remember dancing with you
and maybe, dancing is the only way you can escape
when you're smiling too wide to cry for help
and i find myself gasping for air
but here, where sound is swallowed by depth
you could think that i'm laughing instead
chlorine burns my throat and
this is not what summer is supposed to taste like
i can't feel the wetness or the cold just yet
but i can feel myself going, going, going
and as my visions blurs, the last thing i see is
you,
grinning from behind a scuba mask,
and i can't help but wonder:
why are you allowed to breathe while i drown?

You're still all over me
like a wine stained dress
I can't wear anymore.

I can't remember
the last time I
saw your face
I feel so lonely
when I'm in a
crowded space
You left me
without direction

You tell me to be a biblical woman.
You tell me to be a biblical so that I might become silent, complicit, weak.
Become a biblical woman. Become complacent with the authority of a man.
I am a biblical woman.
I am Deborah with the power to control the armies, the wisdom to prophesy. I do not tolerate the cowardice of men. I will give victory and honor where it is due: to the woman who is brave enough to stand.
I am Jael. I have the blood of the enemy on my hands. I saw a victory for my people and I took it. I took with a warm glass of milk and a tent peg to his head.
I am a biblical woman.
I am Esther, who stood up to the men in power and saved my people. I used my beauty and my position to do what is right. I am a queen.
I am Ruth, a foreigner who left everything she had for the sake of loyalty to family. I seduced the man who I knew could provide for me. I worked hard to provide for myself and for my family.
I am a biblical woman.
I am Bathsheba, who was taken advantage of by the king. I am more than just a bathing woman on the roof. He objectified me. He murdered my husband. And he was the one who paid the price.
I am Abigail, whose wit and wisdom prevented violence. I rescued my husband from his own foolishness, and I prevented the King from acting rashly and violently. I am brilliant.
I am a biblical woman.
I am Rahab, the prostitute.
I am Mary, the pregnant teenager.
I am Junia, the female apostle.
I am Dorcas, the woman who served the poor.
I am the woman at the well. An outsider welcomed into the kingdom of God.
You think that I must be silent and meek to become a biblical woman?
You do not know what a biblical woman is.
olivia //
for all the men who have made biblial women out to be nothing but silent property

my ghosts have the summer
to run free
to rediscover
every crevice of me
they have been hidden away
for too long
behind my eyelids
and between my fingers
they are a part of me
and will be treated as such
i cannot hide
in my own walls
and i will relearn my life
every part of it
as it has happened
and as it will be
the mountains still stand tall
after earthquakes, and each rock
to have been loosened by the shaking
only leaves a new handhold to reach the top

I am friends with a giving tree, and he is surrounded by girls asking for twigs and leaves. He cries at the pain when some of his bark snaps off, but only on the inside; he dares not complain to those he loves. He turns to me for help. He hurts, but what can he do? He loves those who hurt him, and those who hurt him love him back, even if it's selfish love. I sit under his shade, though spotty it may be for lack of leaves, to help think of a solution of any sort, but I can't think of any consolation save one: I give him a branch of my own.

But yesterday,
my heart moved for the first time in weeks. The body's little organs
fluttered enough to send missionaries up my bones and alert me
that I was blushing — that the heart was beating for someone else —
that the familiar figure who walked into the room and barely
looked me in the eye,
was enough to make all the stones nestled in the bottom of my
stomach turn over in their seats.

i lit myself on fire
only to keep you warm
and when you got too hot
you had no qualms about
putting out my light
you were the wind and i was a willow
submissive, bending to your force
branches torn and whipped, forgotten
in the wake of you
i was icarus and you were daedalus
except you gave me no warnings
and i was willing to your every wish
and so you sent me flying
into the hottest star

Reflections in Puddles
The moon is no longer out tonight,
So I’ll howl at you if I can.
You stole her from the sky.
My, oh my, you were a hungry man.
A whirlpool exists in your lungs,
But you’re past the beginning.
There are miles of water between us,
Time to start swimming.
Crunch down like smooth seas,
Listen to the water not make a sound.
That silence will consume you,
Silly man, you are drowned.
The moon is inside of you now,
And she’s got a bit of a bite.
“Shh, now,” She whispers,
“This is not conducive to the night.”
