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.

fixing...

wednesday night is my night.
a night for dark and darker, darker still. my night.
secret meetings where all the unravelling is done. the strings pulled apart.
my tether loosed just a little. just a little, little.

my tears are not ugly.
and not my red face.
no comment about how blue blue eyes get during a good cry. no advice.
(that is not giving.)
no golden intentions, just the case,
the cause we all know, the disturbance
and Our Unexplainable,
the strict perfect chaos, the frozen, the freezing, the aftermath.
and then home.

then home.

to warm, to cool.
home
to home.
