SUBLIME COURAGE

Social fabric

My society My connection to other people My universe of love Is always smaller and more fragile than a man’s So I never worry what a man needs from me I never try to stay connected I never try to mend the social fabric for a man I’m here to break love not make love…

Personality

I have the side of me that is sensitive and the other side that is not, and the side that is sensitive simply reacts and gets hurt, but my actions never seem to be the result of what hurts me. My actions have no premeditation. I’m so impulsive that my personality seems like a gamble.…

On being a feminist

Imagine a slave trying to outrun their master On days when it’s good they’re free On days when it’s bad, it’s very bad You get extra punishment for trying to escape Even your friends are scared and they don’t come to your aid But even on the worst days, it’s progress And I’d choose the…

Little Haiti

I was in little Haiti which is probably the worst neighbourhood in Miami and I booked a cheap hotel by accident not knowing how bad the neighbourhood was. The hostel itself was decent for the price and people moved with an eerie but harmless quiet. I shared a room with a girl that told me…

If

He’s given me so many small versions of himself Some hint here and there about his intentions with me Nothing I could reach for Some joke about marriage being like the Truman show But he never responds directly to my questions Just let’s me brew and obsess Running in circles Feeling insane But I imagine…

On the road, far away

I’m not sure this is heartbreak. I don’t know what this is. I don’t think about him. I’m not the person that thinks about him. I’m not the person that reminds me of the kind of person that likes him and wants his approval. I’m not the same person that moved to his city or…

Waiting

I thought he wasn’t going fast enough I was impatient I pushed and pressed and cornered I gave up exasperated I hated myself for trying again For giving him more chances Sometimes he was in control and sometimes, maddeningly and devastatingly, he wasn’t He wanted to talk it over and over with no movement I…
