Blog,
This morning I listened to song a friend sent me a year ago. I was on the Michigan Ave bus, to my friend's graduation. The song explains a homing instinct when home is not a place you are able to return to. I thought about home--everyone who has made a vessel out of my body, when language was not satisfying enough, and we needed to reflect the entire sky. (I listened to the song a second time, for an image to cling to.) Blog, I also talked to my mom today. We talked about a lot of things, including where I might go next and what to do with my books, which are the only things I am thinking about keeping from here. I am not too worried, I got a lot of tattoos in Chicago. My body has been marked many times; each an attempt at creating a language for love, pushed into flesh. There are a few I remember the pain of: the lavender on my hand; the bird on my leg; the egg between my stomach and chest.
Note: wake up in in the middle of the night to ask the stars, what does it does it feel like to detach your jaw and swallow another animal whole?
