The Things You Know

The other day you were going to make yourself a sandwich, but you couldn't find the knife because grandma had borrowed it, which is something you know because you watched her take it last night and it makes an alarm go off in your head (only faster so it's more like a jolt) but it's loud and it's a little foolish because you realize you suspect it's worse than it actually might be, you tell yourself but you find you're checking her room anyway, because she might've left it in her pillow or in her throat or something and you know this is the kind of thing that can happen at night so you check and she's still breathing, but you're br

Circadian thoughts of you are copulating in my head like bacteria. These are the cultures the doctors found in my amygdala which might explain my fermented disposition and slight tang. Sometimes our car breaks down in the middle of the highway and we lean into each other for warmth. Sometimes the moon rolls over in its sleep, stretches its arms high above itself and the tides lean over to slosh up against the coast. I was in a car accident. You would think the moment of impact would have me panting like a pregnant woman, my fingers like ribs clutching a rattling heartbeat, but instead I crawled out the window like I had

Oxygen on tap

I’m trying to appreciate the small things. Sliced up banana in my cereal. Sea lions barking underneath the Santa Monica Pier. I’ve been meaning to go up to the mountains. I want to roll up my pants, sit on a mossy rock and catch newts in a creek. I want to count stars and think about – and I mean, really think about – what goes into making a single star. And then multiply that awe with the night sky. I’m trying to find the eternity in things. I live on the coast, an hour from frayed land where the ocean wears away sand like dead skin cells. I spend hours by the water and tan to a warm brown. I don’t bleed in the

and then you get dressed.

2 Sometimes you wear your heart on your sleeve, but most of the time you wear jerseys. Sometimes you wear the same sad smile for days but mostly it wears you; 3 nights pass and I still don’t know why it’s harder to slip on ice than it is to give you the slip. Sometimes I slip up and everything falls down. It’s hard to explain myself when I’ve bitten off more than I can chew when all I can think is what a tiny bite what a tiny bite what a tiny – 4 if this is not a dream, then the following must be true: god has a past and it’s sexy and mysterious and makes you want to come so hard.

The rest is easy. by YouInventedMe, literature

Literature

The rest is easy.

This is not the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Putting down thoughts for you to think about and put down. The hardest thing is forcing my heart out through my mouth. Forcing one foot in front of the other. I've reduced cradle to the grave to an infantile crawl. These days, I will take comfort wherever I can find it. "This is not the hardest thing I've ever had to do." (she said, slamming the door in my face.)

June Features and the July Challenge!

0 min read

UPDATE Sorry I have been MIA for the last week and a half!  I just started my summer job and it's more time consuming than I originally thought it would be.  I WILL read everyone's stuff soon since everything is settling down again.  I MAY NOT COMMENT, but it's not because I don't love.  It's because my number of deviations is approching 300.  I ask for patience and understanding :D  This is just a little update to let you all know I'm not dead. ----- June is coming to an end and I want to thank everyone who participated in the June Prompts Challenge!  You all submitted wonderful pieces and I enjoyed reading all of them (even though someti

QUESTION: meammouse (https://www.deviantart.com/meammouse), short-tempered (https://www.deviantart.com/short-tempered), and Crazy-Diam0nd (https://www.deviantart.com/crazy-diam0nd)...where are your June entries?? D: Please share your wonderful writing as soon as you can, hm? :D (Everyone else, don't mind me; I'm just making my challenge management rounds. ^_^ Keep up the good work!) ----- June's challenge is going to be a little different from May's - the challenge will be in completing this prompt table: http://cypriphobia.livejournal.com/85590.html Same rules apply as the MayDay Challenge: one entry per day.  If you cant write something every day, thats okay, too.  The goal is to fulfill the prompt table by the end of the month.  Poe

Psst... I'm using the title of one of your poems as a name/tagline.

I'm honored. ^_^

If you're interested, I'm starting a June prompt collection
