IN YOUR NATURE

Sometimes you are the one losing
Sometimes you are the one lost

26 days

and i’m moving away. to iowa city. i am excited/terrified/anxious/and really nauseous. but we got a 3bdrm place for $850 in the “heart of downtown iowa city” so that’s exciting. google maps has shown me that we are within walking distance to pretty much everything. most importantly prairie lights and sanctuary. i’ve never been to either but apparently they are what’s up. i’m excited to be reunited with my best friend since first grade. we used to build bird nests together. i’m probably going to have to get a hipster bike now, but that’s ok. i want it to be green or maybe orange. i’m hoping i make some friends easily. if not that would be sad.

Anonymous asked: I'm well. I'm glad you are doing okay. Your posts have seemed so despondent lately. What happened with Emma?

who the fuck are you, creepy

Write me a bridge away from the storm
I don’t know the words to the song you were born to sing
But I know your fingers will bleed when you play the chords
And maybe you’ll need me then like I need you now
When I say that I miss you I’ll mean something more
I mean I’ve been biding my time till you kiss me again
I keep poems like secrets then tell them when I’m tired
Of hiding who I am
I am missing you most
And the silence between songs are my favourite records
Sometimes it takes so long for the music to start
Is there a shoreline where the seaweed holds the rocks
So tight they soften into sand
Is it too late to say
That’s how my heart feels in your hands
Like you could sift it through an hourglass and
Pass it off as time never stood still
And neither did I but I will if you let me
In your arms I forget what the yarn knows of sweaters
I forget how to hold myself together
So if I enfold now like a love letter
Tell me you’ll write back soon

I just want the woods so bad
Bark on trees and banana slugs
Emma in the tall grass
Great blue skies
Mountains standing firm behind us
I imagine a cool breeze, my hair is long
I’m trying to walk towards you but the grass is tall
So I lay down and it’s glorious
Because its you and me
And we made it
