this: "i am lying on my bed with the window open, barefooted & barely dressed, listening to a piano coming from. somewhere? the cats here chatter at birds, insects, mouth sad, human songs to me while i comb out my wet hair. i lift the window screen, lean out, let moths in like small owls. i keep thinking about the leaving i am always doing, like a migration; a humming in the chest of what is natural.
i need to be held. i need to be told that it is okay to be tired & grieving like i am and that it is okay to need this; that everything will be okay. i cannot deal with this heart that breaks and breaks over every hard place. i want to walk this body that i do not know how to live in into the water, out in the swell; notice, see, how the gulls might fly up in their hysteria, and you would lose sight of me there. a low, pale moon, down, into the beds of boneless things that glow."
it's really strange but i remember reading this a long time ago, like, years ago and for some reason, it really stuck with me, i love it. did you write this yourself or is it from a book? asked by femmedelalune-deactivated201201

i wrote this some years ago, actually (&i’m so so sorry for only just now replying). i had, for a long while, various incarnations of an online journal, which i’m sure you remember this from; this is one entry from those earlier spaces which has stumbled its way into this most recent haunt.
thank you for contacting me about it, for your kind words. my presence is tidal, but ___________ (your regard / sincerity / thoughtfulness) means the world to me.

If there were any song that could capture your oddly magnetic pull, I believe this song is it. It, like you, is every bit the charming southern siren song and even though you’re practically Canadian, I’m willing to bet good money that when people think of the genteel south, they’re really envisioning you.
Tune In, on the other hand, is what I believe it would sound like if trent reznor and rob zombie had a child that decided to rebel from his roots and try his hand at dub step. Also, I think you can probably belly dance to this.

drinking tea & fucking loving my friends; vastly, desperately.
(&every intent to belly dance to this. thankyou again, mister c.)

standing in the back hallway in full on belly dance attire, talking to a friendly restaurant acquaintance in a whispery post·performance voice. at some point i notice a little girl peeking around the corner at us, and i love this, i love when little girls do this, so i offer her a mischievous little smile & this finds some brave space in her to come forward fully into the hallway, to stand there against the wall, watching us.
she is tiny and beautiful, all long striking red hair & a serious face, her eyes locked to me as i tell my friend goodbye some moments later & begin walking towards her. i am almost to the spot where she stands when a woman rounds the corner, touches her arm, half-leaning down and speaking softly. the girl lifts her head up & back to her, back to me.
“she thinks you’re a princess.” the woman smiles, tilts her face in a way that says aren’t children adorable, aren’t they so naive and sweet? the girl’s head whips back up to her mother (&i’ve no doubt that this is her mother), quietly, fervently correcting her. “a genie princess.” without missing a beat, i kneel down until we are eye-level.
“what’s your name?” softly.
“mina.”
“minaaa, that’s a pretty name. do you have a wish for me?”
she wants her older brother to stop pulling her hair. she wants her mom to let her stay up to play with their new bird. (“his name is shy, because he hides his face in his wings.”) she wants to go to playland with her friends, and she wants to be a princess too.
on impulse i reach up & unclip one of the flowers from my hair, leaning forward to tuck it into the space behind her ear. this elicits the first smile i’ve seen from her, brilliant and blinding and sweet. “i’ll see what i can do, okay?” i say this conspiratorially, whispery, smiling. she nods, still shining, and as i am leaving for home later that night my heart is still beating its slow tidal beat, a reverent rhythm heavy with grace.
these moments sacred & unexpected.
and how, everything feels like weeping.

i love your silences, they are like mine. you are the only being before whom i am not distressed by my own silences. you have a vehement silence, one feels it is charged with essences, it is a strangely alive silence, like a trap open over a well, from which one can hear the secret murmur of the earth itself.
