27/NB/India Schizoaffective bipolar. Brains a haunted kaleidoscope. I write what the hallucinations dont finish saying. Time bends, reality stutters, and I spill poems like coffee on the void. Nothing is stable. Lets scream in metaphor together.
Everything is so loud inside screams leaking out all you hear is silence no. but really no, you can't silence me now By the ***** of Freya something just begs, screeches to be released maybe a brain worm and i try not to listen Mindy: alright! buddy whatever let me show talking or as you say screaming is my peace high pitched ringing at back of the ear it spreads as an air raid siren would I brace from embrace As I m being pulled deep undersea Mindy: Hehe… bosonic harpoon for you ***** Chattering voices in the background People become Ads You want to skip, But you can’t At the start Then you subscribe to premium Congratulations!

I have this feeling that I’m sinking. Everything is pulling me and yeah, gravity and mass are proportional. So is energy. So is pain. So is love. Thank you, universe. I am able to cry again. Mind: “You don’t have to.” I need this. Mind: “It’s ******* hilarious.” I know. Everything will be fine (whatever that means). Think about good times, when your body was a lighter cage. Think about when you're going to die. Your last ragged breath. What then? Nothing. No responsibilities. No plagiarism. No kleptomania. No dark passenger popping ****** GIFs into your frontal lobe since 7:77AM till 7:78AM. Just as real and infinite as any real number can get No voices. No sense. No brainstorms that will erode and corrode your atmosphere. And— Nooooo! touch of love. Only the memory of it. The echo. The versions of you that keep changing every time they’re remembered. And now these tears— they won’t stop. Rolling off my heavy metal ribbed chest.

Heavy metal ribbed chest as a Lighter cage
I don’t know what. Or, rather— the matter of fact: why? Am I pretending? A pretty dosing, imposing i'mposter syndrome in stolen lip gloss and rope burns. Don’t ask me to put on these masks. I’m done with it. Every thought is scrutinized. Every meal, a moral panic. “Every time I eat another animal, you spank my *** hard.” (Not that I want to eat an animal every time I want a spanking— no. But I do want a spanking. And not the guilt buffet.) Mind: Reported. ******* Mind: Swagger. Am I my brain’s pet? Or is it mine? Russes is a nice dog name. Am I becoming a killing machine? No. I’d have to work out more. That’s extroverted thinking. Inside? What are you? An amoeba. Shapeshifting. Gelatinous. Unapologetically not solid. Enough! You are dead! Come on, I’m not wallowing— I just want to cry after so long in ******* with no aftercare. I miss you so much, Bubba. I am a ******* ******* I feel maniacal. Do you know you can give yourself a hug? It feels so good. I’m asking, “What’s that you do again?” A shirt. Curiosity outweighed my fears. Isn’t there a cat who got killed because of it?

Russes Is a Nice Dog Name
I lit a joint by the river, the old one, the one that’s seen everything and forgives most of it. Godavari hummed beside me, low and patient. The stars above— clear like secrets no one bothered to bury. I looked up and thought of the first humans, barefoot and unsure, naming gods into the sky because they hadn’t invented loneliness yet. Their stars were louder. Brighter. Uninterrupted. No city glare. No satellite scars. Just raw fire scattered across a black veil. I wondered what we’ve traded for that silence. Our children might see nothing at all— just haze and history books saying “there were stars once.” Or maybe they’ll live on some distant rock, with a new sky above them, new myths to whisper into space. Maybe they'll name constellations after things we lost— like truth. Like forests. Like unsupervised dreaming. And what if we’re not alone? What if somewhere out there, another creature lights a ritual and looks up, wondering if they’re the only ones who feel like a question that never ends? I exhaled into the dark. Watched my smoke dissolve into starlight. Didn’t say a word. Didn’t need to. The river kept flowing. The sky kept listening. And for a moment, I was just a soft animal under a vast forever trying to feel small the right way.

****** Astronomy: Field Notes from a Haunting Species
The sun— once a son, orange in the sky, now a man. A monkey. A machine. You try to shove growth down our throats like it’s a sacrament, but it tastes like unfinished sugar. Words we carry masked in dew, in jars you labeled “love” but only half-filled. You gave us creamfills— the kind with artificial joy and man-made jam sealing the rest. You wrapped it in sweet tooth blankets. Testaments. Recipes for identity. Instructions for collapse. The box she was locked onto The Pandora's box. Streaming voices flashing memories in ways no TV could ever perform, no radio could ever absorb. She was the signal. You were the craftsman. She—the detective with questions stitched into her scalp, while you painted machines and called them beautiful. She wondered if she was your craft, or just another tool you liked to see dismantled. She sought refuge in her children. Her storm-born soft-eyed wolves. And we— we threw the creamfilled jams back because they were always too sweet, too heavy, too hollow. We shattered your imagination like stained glass at a wedding gone wrong. And I, with my bleeding fingertips, picked up the shards and glued them onto my dress. A pretty dress. But the weight? Not in fabric. In gaze. In the crazy it attracted. All we ever wanted was silence. But silence, I’ve learned, can be a bomb too. Can rupture continents from the inside. When she finally spoke, it was the last thing anyone heard. Because she knew the toll of dropping a word that explodes like hydrogen. Still, she carried it. Not knowing it would **** her. And you— you kept her like a masterpiece never meant to be touched, only mourned. Together, you were okay. Just okay. But we— we followed your steps, wolves packed in the back pockets of coats that no longer fit. We carry you. Not in reverence. But in weight. And still, somewhere in your head, it’s a farewell, Mom. And in yours, Dad, it’s a drill. A slow churn of dead weights we left behind for you to carry. "Carry each other." That’s my last.

I dance to my own tune— just, just like a mayfly, born in the river, brief as a whisper, but oh, how I dance. I dance to the stream of this woven string— threaded with light, spun from that first look you gave me like I was something new. You. You— I owe you big time. Let’s dance. Let’s twist like reeds in moonlight, while the letters we wrote each other float downstream, paper boats carried by wind and whatever storm sun flares up Just you and me— and them, watching over us: the stars, the angels, pouring ales into their veins, slurring old songs about love that outlives skin. We grow like roots, we bear fruit, we rise over branches while the flowers bloom, bloom in the skies— petals spilling over stars like confessions we forgot to hide. And if we disappear tomorrow? Let them say we danced.

Mayfly Waltz
Growing up— meant learning how to slay demons from the inside out. Not with magic. With madness. With mood swings. With memory. I’m not soft. I’m a sword. One that fought a battle against unforgiving Nazis. Not the ones in textbooks— the ones that live in families. In systems. In silence. Today, I wear different skin. It fits. Mostly. It shelters the steel. I’m a knife that was thrown at a dartboard— bad aim. But I cut clean. I slice veggies. I slice meat. I fed myself with the same hands that once begged to be broken. I’m a needle. Stuck into tied wood. I bled the forest red. I painted my bed in wildfire— not to burn, but to say: This pain is real. This canvas is mine. I’m the sword lost in the hands of a wounded soldier. The knife dropped in a river where everything floats, but nothing’s ever reached. We misjudge depth. Of thoughts. Of people. Of ourselves. I’m a needle again— ripping thread so clothing can breathe. So I can breathe. I’m this thing that wants to fly but be tethered. I’m Twitter when it still meant shouting into the void and hearing something back. I’m a kite. I dance with the wind, but I always feel the pull of the string. Fly high, Julie. Fly high.

Pens, Pins, and ******
You are a monstrosity, A walking atrocity, Feeding on fear with relentless ferocity, Draped in control, masked as curiosity, Preaching decay as divine necessity, Crushing the truth at full velocity. You rewrite the past with blind audacity, Bleeding the future with cruel tenacity, Shrouded in pride and dead opacity, Silencing hope with ruthless capacity. You wear your lies with a soft veracity, Spitting out law with no sagacity, Chaining the mind, gutting democracy, As if blood were a price for your prophesy.

Where power eats its children
Fingers don’t slide into juicy ***** lips the way they do in books. No violins. No silk sheets. Just the awkward shuffle of skin and wanting— and the silence afterward. That’s real. All the cellars of this town? Yeah— they hold the moans we’ve been suppressing like secrets with teeth. Generations of women biting back sound so the floorboards don’t creak with it. Love. Can you hear me? The storm’s dancing at my fingertips. It clings to the corners of my chest, tugs at the meat of me. I want to feel something other than metaphor. I want to feel the war— stop. They said it’s over. Is it? There’s this movement on the island. It breathes me back to life then wrings the breath out in the same second. I don’t know what to do with that. And her cry? That muffled cry? It delivers a thousand unfathomable silhouettes. That’s what she sounds like when she loves too much to scream it loud. When her daughter’s future feels like it’s taped to a fragile door and everyone’s knocking. Love doesn’t feed ya. It doesn’t feed us. But we still set the table.

The Cellars Still Moan
She is a butterfly... hiding under sunspots. He’s a gecko, lurking in that velvet corner where the light forgets to go. She is chaos— he’s the eye of her storm. They were born from deep sea vents, rose up to the skies like they meant to crack open clouds, pull humans into a frenzy no weather pattern could predict. She calls it life. He? He just stares into death, like it’s a familiar hallway with flickering lights. The question of origin? It’s always that stupid finger— pointing, blaming, laughing at the moment they both thought: "Wait… was any of it even real?" Hey, **** It’s all tiny signals, she read. "It’s all eternity," he preached, like a god with a broken clock. They walked through each other’s ghost stories, talked all night in a language made of fake memories, false starts, and déjà vus shaped like abandoned houses. They locked eyes— those traitorous, trembling eyes— and whispered vows to nights that haven’t happened yet. To days that only those **** aliens have seen. Yeah. Those aliens. The ones living on the edge of the universe’s bubble, eating popcorn, watching this bubble bursting program on cosmic cable. And when the light consumed the darkness, when the tiny capsules cracked open like old seeds— they were left raw. Naked. Shivering in the gift-wrapped curse called "Time." She ran away. He walked away. Moments… split. Time… parted. While million-dollar math problems sit unsolved on cluttered desks, watched over by smoke-drenched visionaries who know something’s wrong but can’t solve heartbreak with equations. This is the program. It’s always been the program. We’re just signals, wrapped in skin, playing roles, in a show with no rehearsal and no pause button. So if you’re watching, dear alien— just know… We improvised the whole **** thing.
