White Dresses

The smell of beer and flowers float through the air, 

In decades to come her white dress will be a light yellow from cigarettes smoke.

For now she is smiling and dancing like a child once again, as she twirls in her dress.

The ringlets in her hair remind her mother of the curls she had once had when she was just a baby. Her laughter reminds her father of the child he raised.

She has her fathers eyes, full of wonder. He was her age when he married her mother.

She has her grandmothers smile, sickening sweet. The southern twang they share is something only they can understand.

Her eyes are gleaming in a way that could out shine the heavens.

A dress she will only wear once, the bottom now light green from her backyard celebration and a makeup stain on the inside. 

She stands in the yard, her flower girl on her hip, taking in the beauty of today.

An organized chaos, that she planned for years.

Allergies Suck Ass

New Blog post!

Its April 25th and today I woke up with only sneezing one time. Within the past month I have been sneezing non-stop when I wake up from my daily slumber. I asked my doctor a few weeks ago if I could get a refill on my allergy medicine and I got no response. To tell you the truth though, I have never been diagnosed with allergies nor do I even know what I am allergic to. Is having allergies…

60 degrees at 10pm in the Ohio Valley. Perfect weather for Wendigo hunting.

Ohio Valley MMA is antifa. Also: you don't have to be an MMA fighter to defend Drag Queen Story Time or trans people. The truth is, at every Drag Queen Story Time where people showed up to defend the event, the fascist transphobes were defeated and crawled back under their rocks.

Nostalgia

I look at my father’s faded photos. A boy with uncalloused hands, and a large smile

I see him at my age, with an old Superman shirt. The same shirt that’s tucked away in my dresser.

He was much different than the dad that I know, this was a college student. A guy who worries about when he’ll go fishing and not when he’ll get the kids to school.

I look at the other photos, from my parents wedding. He was my age. He was a goofy kid celebrating in his backyard. Looking back, knowing what I know he shouldn’t of gotten married so soon. They were both star-eyed children with no way to know.

I see myself in my mother’s photos. Her senior portrait mirrors my own. She was only five years older than myself now, when she had me. 

Laying in my bed, I wonder what she did late at night before I was born. 

Did she pray? What was her baby shower like? Did she hunt on a bulky computer for supplies?

When I was born, the world was scary and only became worse.

They grew apart from each other, and I had to learn about life before me.

Two people from different backgrounds, destined to part.

I look back at that wedding photo, no older than me and my partner.
