L. V., I Found This Poem Stuck Between Your Teeth

"A Black Bird With Snow Covered Red Hills" (Detail)
by Georgia O'Keeffe, 1946

if i were a bird, i'd probably never fly over oceans

i wouldn't trust my wings enough. because if i do

i'd probably just be imagining myself spiralling down like Icarus the whole time.

L. V., i found this poem stuck between your teeth

- film still from Wuthering Heights (2011)
- "What goes on in my head and in my heart feels less like ghosts / and more like blood and bones when I write them down. / I feel more real, more human when I write." -L. V.

you look at my writing
& ask why i write about drinking tea
& sitting, looking out the window,
people-watching.

you say it would bore the reader.

but sometimes there is magic
in writing the mundane.
the everyday,
the things
that are easy to ignore.

sometimes it’s enough to write about your eyes
when you’re looking at me
& i pretend not to notice
& you know i'm pretending
not to notice.

- L. V.

L. V., sometimes we don’t need to listen to the reader or the critics or the voices in our head

[i found this poem in my drafts, where it should have remained (pt. 8)]
