Literature
the world doesn't need beauty sleep
mother earth is pregnant;
her curves yawn -
molasses stretches of dark,
dank night freckled with
streetlights sparkling.
i yearn to rest in the cradle
that the small of her back
has become.
the roads untangle like
veins unto her skin
after being held so long
in the fist of pre-dawn.
drunk in slumber, red-eyed,
beautiful - morning will
come yet, the small child
born in the rafters of
catastrophe, aching;
but before her date,
mother earth shifts in her sleep,
love settling in the wing
of her hip -
exhaustion dilutes her blood,
consciousness touches her golden
shoulder on his way out the door.

Metaphorically Speaking
People are like books;
full of stories and easily
broken at the spine.

I remember in Psych 101,
when the professor proposed a game
called Don’t Think.
He said, “For the next minute,
don’t think about
red elephants.”
So the trick was to
think about anything else
but the red elephant.
That
was the longest minute
of my life.
I thought surely I will die
under the weight of this--
No don’t think about it!
The sweat dripped down my temples
and my lips got dry
and I couldn’t stop
blinking or thinking
about purple giraffes
and orange hippos and polka dot
ostriches and red

Theme 14: Temptation Meet Aurora's father! Who I have yet to name. He's pretty much an asshole. If you didn't guess that from the story. I decided to give it a mature rating just in case.

That sound you just heard was me flailing. Holy crap, Aurora is cool. I can't even. She is the best and her dad can choke on it.
