these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.


my artist website is here.

today there is...

no television. no television but plenty of words. today is rottweiler black.

black ink, black dresses, black hair.
drawing faceless little girls while i wait on the laundry,
two pots of coffee,
a grapefruit and an orange.
Bauhaus in bed.

today i think of my brother, alone
in the South. my sister getting another new tattoo-
roses for the grimaced,
reminding us of our mother.

we all have the same eyes.
