Together

You and I can fly like crows

through salted air

and sleeping smoke

nights will welcome

all our pecking

come away

please come away

Kamala at Dusk

A lady brown with loving heat

Sleeping softly in the grass

Her beauty travels in the wind

weaving sweetness into dusk

lazy flowers bow and sway

Then press their bodies to the Earth

stems and petals shine in song

then sleep in comfort til the dawn

Hearing Her

To Hear Her

it all returns.

the dark room,

the shrinking veins,

the strong, rageful pumping at her center

it travels like wind

here and then gone

waking and sleeping on a clock of it’s own

Hearing Her by Angie Hoover- Hillhouse

I wrote this several months after my girlfriend broke up with me in 2004. It’s probably published in my high school livejournal along with other evidence of teenage angst. We all used to feel our feelings very publicly in those days. I’m sure I wrote this hoping that she would contact me out of pity. Now I’m marrying a man, and she’s teaching english to impoverished Ecuadorian children.

Collage: Cynthia

I think collage is really honest. We connect to it in a lot of ways because it’s inherently disconnected pieces that are all thrown– or even organized together to attempt to create some cohesion and meaning.
