Heat, heat  like windows melting,  and the only one who heard  was someone's kid sister,  standing in a blue  
shadow, cradling  one hand in the other.   
Outside our better selves  are scattering.  
Truth carries two black eyes.  Didn't you know  that no one is good  with a swollen face?   
We are down to  
fingers  tucked inside a  
naked pocket too big for  comfort, too small for  escape. And there   
is June bursting under  our skin, ripe like  balloons and third trimesters.  Even a world in our mouths  isn't a

HungerThe day presses against my stomach, as if  
it could demand to be fed and not the other way around.  I reach out a hand and clasp the equator  
while you straddle the poles, a starving child waiting for summer.  
Don't you know, the seasons have closed their doors, so that yesterday  closed people walked all around me and somehow I was the only one open--  
flotsam, jetsam in my hair  everything smelling of wreckage and jasmine.   
The dawn of questioning:  Why don't they want girls to turn out like men, anyway?  Why does a poem change when it  
touches the air?  When no one ans Hunger

RISD!

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 1, 2008, 2:53 PM
  • Mood: Excited
  • Reading: The English Patient by Michael Odaantje
I GOT IN!!!!!


For those of you unfamiliar with me and my craziness, RISD is short for Rhode Island School of Design, aka my dream school to which I applied early action two months ago.

Haha when I first saw it I stared at it for a good five seconds and then I screamed. Really loudly. Loud enough, in fact, that my neighbor from down the street turned around and stared at me and I had to tell him I was okay.

...
oh well. I am so unbelievably happy right now!
The world is amazing.

:heart:Tessa

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?

Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ?


It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift

but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.
