here's a song i wrote like last week about that "this month has been a hard year" kind of feeling

GOD IT'S ONLY JANUARY (lyrics under cut)

i'll be running down the hill to the fountain when red starts spreading through the mountains you'll be in your bed, a book over your head that's how i think of you

as for me? it's been raining like a son of a bitch the news says that the worst ain't even over, it feels like i can't get dry, whether it's the rain or crying like i always do

and the dog got sick. he doesn't know it yet but i'll be back in town to take him to the drive thru, to the vet then we'll bury him somewhere where the ground is always wet unless it's burning through

god, it's only january

i've been micromanaging conversations 'tween my lovers and my kindred relations keeping spirits high, thinking that i'd rather die than draw a line with you

and that damn book! well it ain't gonna write itself but it's empty in my head like it's empty on the shelf maybe eveybody lied when they said that i could write a pretty line or two

can't stop thinking of war. yeah, you know the one-- it kinda fucked up my whole family, picking fights, getting shunned so i scream and cry about it 'til there's nothing in my lungs for them to misconstrue

god, it's only january i think i left the best of me in some old diary i hope nobody ever reads a catalogue of when i had beauty, i had friends funny how all that ends with the world

god, it's only january the sun was out and i felt free hate that i turn so quickly from that to thunderstorms, but we move on, like we're taught keep the faith, getting caught red handed at the end of the world

of the world

this time will pass anyways.

not every haunting is a horror.

there are things that trying solves but this is not one of them.

the rain will never stop falling.

leap too into the light if given the chance.

let's not hurt each other if we can.

you are everything that has not yet been lost.

My academic crit-circle this evening via zoom asked “this reads so nicely! Do you write fiction by any chance?” Babe everything I write is fiction I am just making this up

Now that I am indulging in a supernatural renaissance for the second time during my PhD candidature (yes it is a cry for help), it means that I am confronted with the fact that during my similar regression 2 years ago I used the phrase “crack in the chassis” to describe religious crisis of the early 17th century and my supervisor thought it was so poetic and apt and I did not admit that it was a phrase used in supernatural to describe the psychological complexity of a fictional gay angel
