Day One~

this is so bad and unedited but i'll edit all this stuff later. also i just realized this is the first time i share my writing on this site but OH WELL.

Spoiler
you’ve laced memoirs in crimson ribbons
and hung them up as ornaments
trying to heal them by
hiding them beneath layers of christmas lights.

[you tell me it doesn’t feel like december
but how could it not feel like december after
i read the messages you let the wind carry
through frost breath]

you seal letters to santa claus with
your lips that have begun to
taste like peppermint.
the same old christmas songs
play on the radio and our neighbors
decorate their homes in fake snow

how does it not feel like december?--
tell me.



The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices; to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicions can destroy. A thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own.
