words and ache

All my #poetry is #nonfiction, from the ache of longing, relationships, sex. All #poems mine unless RT or cited. @alloalouette is the rest of what I have to say

ChillhopMusic has great compilations, eps, and streams if you like that style

@lucid_crow I’m not sure 🤔 I haven’t thought much about that but it seems pretty obvious now that I think about it 😂😭 he had pretty much no direct influence on my spiritual life, but in other ways that makes a lot of sense

And with sweet oil
costly
you anointed yourself

and on a soft bed
delicate
you would let loose your longing

A forest of fluttering."
