“Staying forever far from home
completely, completely at sea.
Knowing God has cut me out
jagged, loose, wild.”


Goddamn... It’s been a while since I’ve read a genuinely GOOD poetry book. My heart is so heavy. This was so beautiful and painful at the same time. Some of my favorite poems were; “liking things”, “community”, “heat”, “mental health”, “q”, “what love isn’t”, “body”, “revelation”, “not the end of the world, but almost”, “untitled #1”, and finally, “poetry”.

Please read this. Please enjoy every word of it.
