Completely Embarrassed
I was looking in my old email account for a friend’s address, and I started rereading emails I’d sent. One in particular titled “Seriously, you swedish ass” caught my attention.
It was awkward. Completely overblown, very angsty, very I’m-trying-to-make-light-of-the-fact-that-I’m-really-unhappy. And it didn’t work at all. Not even in the slightest.

LDS Momentarily
After weeks of enjoying the peace of the church, one of the more hostile mormons asked me to pray to god and ask if the mormon church was the true church. And I thought, whatever. Couldn’t hurt. By this time, my usual disdain for all religion had softened. I was completely in love with the ceremony of the church. The water and the bread and the songs and the quiet verisimilitude. I had gone...

Jesus
It is breezy and cool and April. The sun is going down over the chemical plants. The sky is pink and orange. My grandfather has urged me to close the window soon. It’s going to be a cool night.
If Jesus were here, I don’t think many people would like him. I like to think that I would like him, but that is not likely. I would think he is crazy and that the miracles he performs, some...
How to Have the Perfect Birthday
Section One
1. Buy some delicious sausages from a fancy market. They make their sausage fresh everyday and have like a million different kinds. Choose spicy italian all beef.
2. Pick up some corn tortillas. Specifically, white corn.
3. Shiner beer and hard apple cider.
4. Real mesquite charcoal. Like the shit that used to be a tree, and then they burned it and covered it in Texas soil to let...

In New Mexico
They were up high She had asked her father to bring her here To this place in the mountains Such a cool, wet place She loved how the mountains seemed to kiss the desert just on the other side.
They had left Texas A hot, humid Texas with temperatures above 100 degrees and escaped into the mountains. It was a trip he had taken before with her mother after she had tried to kill herself and when she...

GAD
My bones buzz.
hours and hours
It’s not okay.
Death is coming.
His feet vibrate.
Expectation of Death.
a visitor unannounced
Safety is emptiness.
only me here
a small window
where nothing is
Death is crowded.
Death is cluttered.

Blood Roses
She had a long trail of blood behind her - some if it caked and cracked like urine on the toilet. Anyone who looked at where she had been could see it. All around the city she left her mark, like a dog in heat. All the world knew except one. She. She frequently looked behind, memorializing her footsteps in rosy glances. The blood to her was a garden—she never felt the wounds. She kept...
