A poem about youth, recklessness, and refusing to live carefully
What a great poem. My favorite line was describing my spine being used as a towel rack.
“You’ll lose things.
Friends. Time. Teeth.
You’ll gain worse.
And somehow better.”
Well, ain’t that just a whole thesis. 👏👏✨
I wasn't very self aware in my 20s. Now that I'm almost 50 I want to live the carefree abandon I never did. I'm still pushing up against old trauma so this is going to take some work.
As a recovering “good” who held back on her feral-ness growing up, loved this immensely
Is there a standing ovation emoji?
"rot honest,
wild-eyed and unwashed,"
Intoxicating.
Poetic instigator, wise words.
