i want to know how to write a poem.
“put pen to paper or yer fingertips to the keyboard. no sweat. poetry is all around you.”
- Raegan Butcher
you make it look easy, to write a poem:
take notice of your surroundings, what
goes on around you & all the things, oh
but that’s bullshit. we both know it is a
lot harder than that to write something
decent - a poem that speaks/talks back
a poem that you think about later on in
the dark or when you’re washing dishes
or some other lonely job in real life living
a poem that doesn’t feel forced or looks
down on you as though it’s beyond your
understanding but there - under & inside
a poem that
means something
even when you don’t.

April 2nd, 2016: bloody poets
I want to be a poet
without the risk / without
the casualties of word wars
The poets know what I mean -
about all the blood, our hands.

poem: older
This getting older thing is not so difficult
after all and after awhile, we get used to the
tearing apart and those rip your heart out moments
which inevitably sometimes unexpectedly come about.
