I guess I should begin by saying I recently graduated from the MFA program @warrenwilsonmfa.bsky.social something I told myself I could never do and I shared a little about that and maybe it will help you too.
Hinge showing me the profile of a friend of mine who I know is very not alive and saying we are most compatible is exactly how my dating life is going 🙃

Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

Three Poems by Dare Williams
[ Crook of My Elbow, Cotton-Balled, Band-aid Covering, Out the Car Window ] Crook of my elbow, cotton-balled, band-aid covering, out the car window, dangles in public smelling of clinic, no need for sleeves. Sun surfacing the edge. I let them see I’ve been drained. My blood taken and after, a dream state. Someone inspects my red velvety syn-tax, rushing platelets, blue under all that light.

The purpose of poetry is to remind us how difficult it is to remain just one person, for our house is open there no keys in the doors, and invisible guests come in and out at will.
