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.

the news

what's the good word?
the good word dropped down.
the good surgeon.
confirmed.
my pretty mama-

reduced.



fear.
fear.
fear.
lift your foot.
go.
you are asking too much.


not her.


not yet.


bake you,
scald you,
shrink you in my kettle.
scorch and sear
til the unwanted thing dies.

i'll fucking murder you.




what's the good word?

confirmed.


the good doctor
the good green
deer in the yard
bee sting
a small mass burning
a hole in the middle of my mama.



not her.
