everything is an indefinable warmth so stop referring to the cold as a ceiling and focus on the ground for once (i am not an abyss, note: do not construe self as such) give me a thousand breathing bedded wake-ups generate a thousand and one nights of varied narration between us we are liquid and we are both abstractions of what it means to be human holy spirit-filled i walk softly and affectionately upon water in regards to which one of us is god i say shut up if you want god then listen to me we can discuss and articulate god but i take no repetition without variation oh and you dont either. i find that rather beautiful of you teach me that a blush is more than a two hour mark that warmth is not a temperature and is not forever or describable remind me repeatedly that sensation is not imbibable i know all of a sudden that love is not force or temperance i just realized that rhyme is just words saying "i love you" actually i rescind that; the entirety of syntax has always been words exchanging "i love you"s am i going to explain that? not in the slightest it proves itself keep shit circular and self-referential i like it better that way i am not afraid of your eyes anymore i am not afraid of them for the same reason i am not at all afraid of dandelions that would be a healthy familiarity with botany and a romance with a rather brilliant botanist i will not worry about burial because the thing is even if i can call myself dirt or you can we are both growing grounds at days end we are endless fields and oh dont make me flushed with a grass metaphor just leave it at endless fields you want me to admit it? whatever, here's me admitting it i am waxing poetic about thighs just as a concept it is one thirty in the morning, probably past now additional confirmation of my existence: "im here"

about

NYS#5

this album is about my life. it took three months to make. during that time i managed not only to stay alive, but to learn what it means to be a lesbian. this is for the people who taught me and the person i fell in love with. i hope she smiles reading that.

i also had to deal with some things i found difficult, namely my working memory failing me, depression coming in and out of my life, a new tic hurting the hell out of my arm, and the stress of my schoolwork. but look at me: i made it through. i'm here. i'm still living and breathing and i feel fucking better about myself. i confirmed my existence. i feel love again.
