Inappropriate Wedding Montage +Inappropriate Wedding Montage by `queenhrosie
And then they faced each other and then
their spoons clattered down, and he closed his
eyes and she didn't. And there was her father
locked in the attic, composing. And there was
her mother, in a tent in the backyard,
summoning. And meanwhile,
they were mouthfuls of each other's
hair and toes. And shadows and
a propane heater in the corner.
And they faced each other,
like one was a bee and another was
a dishonest man at a picnic.
And she thought let's show this at
our wedding and there was chlorophyll
winding over her shoulders like a
scented dress. And the lights turn low
and her father is composing the
white noise
This Is The Thing I Will Never +This Is The Thing I Will Never by `queenhrosie
This is the thing I will never tell my daughter:
that there were years that my own mother
did not love me. It is sad to know this
for sure. Because there were expectations:
law school, small house in the city,
a child and no man. But,
I kept your father like I kept
you, unable to give up on something that
seemed so small and fragile
at first. And because I told my mother
of my hunger strikes and deep
sadness and notions of what childhood
was not. Because that is what might
make one person give up on
another person. Honesty. And through these years,

I went down to the pond and
there were hurt fish everywhere
on the land and I thought
oh what have we done
and we decided to buy new fish,
and wept and whispered bees
into our own ears
and because you have not yet
lost your death and there is
pollen at your head top
you may not understand
but you need to know that
when I was a girl there was a wolf
sighting by the canyon
and I saw a deer spit venom into
the wolf's eyes and bite
the wolf at the ankle and
it wasn't until years later that
I met your father and

It was the end-stage, you know,
where she was the dog and I was
the muzzle. Sort of romantic
and dangerous. Oh, and also -
better than myself as the dog
and her as
the Elizabethan collar.

We met while I was sitting in the park,
pigeons on my shoulders
like a real psychopath
or bum and she was carrying a
red umbrella even though
it wasn't raining. Instant love
is like wanting to kill someone right
after seeing the whites of their eyes
in your headlights at night and later,
when you meet them again in a bar,
you tell the person this story and you're
both able to laugh about it because
you both have the same sick s
