Hi everyone,
Welcome to 365 Days of Poetry & Honesty <3 I hope December is being gentle with you.
Mondays seem to be the most manageable and it’s feeling like a softer start to the week if the first thing I have to do is collate poetry. So I think moving forward, the newsletter will go out on Mondays, potentially in the morning, but either way Monday :)
This week I felt fragile, like I’m spilling over everything but I think that's okay. It’s the image of rain and a river.
Here are my songs of the week :)
Monday
the violence of prophecy. speak love! it shapes the landscape of your internal world.
Tuesday
acutely aware of the ways i am a source of my pain for my parents but i know i’m not alone in that awareness. i think parenthood is like possession. let go. i love you regardless.
Wednesday
when the pigs grow wings he says he’ll love me too
Thursday
hold me open
Friday
look how i ache. from the outside it looks like violence
Saturday
soft rising lullaby in my belly. i spit fire
Sunday
This Sunday we are reading Erin Slaughter, Jonas Mekas & Dulce María Loynaz
- praise my body holy. everything
will come by itself. all gentle waters -
Thank you for reading this week’s newsletter ❤️
With love,
Phoenix
