Soft, Strange

Soft, Strange

(March 4, 2021)

Stagnant kisses linger longer

High and bright on movie screens

Glassy eyes in jars, and secret scars

Blushing vibrant blues and greens

Here lies scattered static stillness

Where dullness drizzles to the bone

Dreams catch and crush lonely reality

The world of which is home sweet home

Fear flies fondly from my throat

A soft, strange sister speaks to me,

Beyond beginning and breathing, will be

Always another adverse anxiety

Two house plants by a window in a warmly lit corner with a translucent black box over the image. Within the box is a poem titled House Plant by A.M. Watson, aka Artsy Magee:

One glance outside my window
Blesses my eyes with seas of green,
Of trees, and grass, and bushes
Waving at me, hoping to be seen

These magnificent, flourishing beings
Dancing together in the breeze
Hold not a single care in the world
Each doing exactly how they please

The world outside looks energized
So warm, welcoming and clean
But I chose to stay safe inside
Where no one can talk to me

No matter the day or weather
I stay safely behind a screen
Chalking all of my canceled plans 
up to my social anxiety

But I realized something today
Something that will make you beam
IT’S OKAY TO BE A HOUSEPLANT
And hide away from the evergreens

It’s okay to be yourself, even when
It’s hard to make others pleased
Not everyone has to live their lives
As if on the cover of a magazine

Sometimes I want to crawl into stranger's backyards and explore them for their natural wonders that remind me of my grandmother's land that was home to my greatest childhood fantasies.

Wedding

All this wedding planning has been taking

a huge toll on my writing endeavors.

My untouched document stares at me

from its all but forgotten tab as I shift through

cakes, flowers, and dresses in tangled masses.

I hope I can find the time to return to its

blank, blinking boredom before

the big day in October
