i I’m a huggershaking is for salt not hands formidable idealist , aspiring wordsmith

[margot @margotwrote]

Wearing a hat to tip
Over one’s eye
Blasé
A riddle
To us all
This stranger
At a funeral

[margot @margotwrote]

Myself, Afraid, alone
Yourself , present, fearless
Knowing within folded elbows shelter, refuge, hero,

A Love
a life
controlled

What’s the story?

Loved and lost?

Lost then found?
Children’s games

Adult revenge
How many feet in a meter? #poetrycommunity

Crawled onto the sandy beach
Not knowing if my roughcheeks and the taste in my mouth was from its salty #grains or the salt water from which I emerged had crusted over my face still, I licked my lips to savor the taste #vss365

In tWe did not know it then
What it meant to be queer
That to be gay was okay
Though peers sneered
At girls more than friends
How would it look
In that world; that you were mine

We never spoke of it
Or entertained the thought;
I love you still #LGBTQ #poetry

It is days end
The sun goes to bed
The sky
Painted in pinks and violet
Does not #behave
Like other sunsets
Of oranges and red
Our love is a sky with lavender clouds and an indigo horizon #sarsplat

wrapped his arms around her
Kissed herstomach
Held her #sturdy
hips
“ child beating hips”
mother used to say
Nuzzled his nose into the hollow between her eye socket and the bridge of her nose
Their faces
Puzzle pieces
He whispered to her
We’ll try again#vss365

The heart is a muscle too
but my #ugly temperament and jealous disposition;

Come from its fibers,
Threadbare

from heartbreak
has made no #gains

@HMeloWriter Mom: it’s okay to be a spinster; there are a lot of them in the family. Thanks mom

Lonely is a wound generously salted ;

it isn’t poison
There is no need for an antidote; you still survive it #singlesday2022

#dissonant
Campaign podiums;
Standing on rotting wood

But his hands were not

Thanks for the retweet @Bofferson!

My hands, a #promontory of the land that is my body, reach out for the ocean, the unclenchable body that is yours—stop welcoming other women with your waves, into your bed/where I sleep; our bodies meet; a landscape of happy marriage #vss365

[margot @margotwrote]

give my lungs that final breath you had been hol ding in yours;

[margot @margotwrote]

When the #torpid river we are swimming in ends, like the Water along with us, could you take the jump off thecliff with me?hitting the lagoon harder than the rocks on the bottom, couldyou kiss me
