pulse

they
fogged up the glass
in the back


electrical short
wheels spinning
her pulse went
slack

connate

i could not kill it i could only deny it repress it numb it dissociate from it for to kill it would be the death of me. connate it caught my eye again like a stain i incorporate with oils into the oeuvre

#katyamills

quint.essence

the quintessence
of the initial draft
a chaos of emotions
boiled down over a thousand
cups of blue bottle coffee
matched by morning
suns

July 7 (#vss365)

you won't see us desperate for company or terrified of being alone with our thoughts. #introvert we can kick it with the ones we love and care about but if there's too many around for too long we may get a little tired and need to cash out.  #katyamills

July 6

i leaned on the wall

it's close to 100 degrees

breathless in the hall 

fell on my knees

i love that we 

gonna live here 

together

but how can we rest

on a couch 

standing up

facing west? 

#katyamills

be.queath us

they bequeathed us
a cashless society
our paper
the faces of founders
could now be burned
within the law
to stay warm

July 3

 worn from traveling we

encircled your kitchen table

where we used to say grace

some of us silent unable to

stop the tears

stirring our coffee with silver

embossed with your owls

may the gods embox

my heart. inhume it

so i can rise to this moment

and help you to rest
