L. V., I Found This Poem In The Cracks On My Ceiling

The Birdwatcher (Detail)
William Holbrook Beard, 1863
I found worms and thirty six ways to induce sadness
The Birdwatcher (Detail)
William Holbrook Beard, 1863
when I turned over a rock in my grandparents’ garden
The Birdwatcher (Detail)
William Holbrook Beard, 1863
on a Sunday afternoon and the birds were sleeping
The Birdwatcher (Detail)
William Holbrook Beard, 1863
in the belly of a green-eyed cat.

L. V., i found this poem in the cracks on my ceiling

Detail of "Girl and the Moon" (1939) by Karl Pärsimägi

Here we are again: In the fetal position, curled up in poetry’s warm embrace, trying to put back together the two halves of our fractured hearts.

Along the way, we swapped a broken piece or two by accident. And so, here we are now, trying

to go about our lives with Frankenstein hearts, wondering why it hurts to breathe when we’re far apart.

okay i just found THE blog

I don't know what this means. Someone tell me what this means.

EDIT:

Editing this to make it my pinned post. If you're new here, this is basically THE blog (as evidenced above). Welcome. I hope you enjoy picking apart the insides of my mind.

This space contains original writings by L. V. (+some experimental edits in between). Two (sometimes more) queued posts per day at 10am & 10pm US/Eastern time.

My Side Blog: where I post writing prompts & tips, post/reblog image prompts: 1 2 3, and share/reblog other art & literature I love.

This is also mine. (+ other side blogs that I won't mention because they're mostly inactive now)

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)]
