boykeats:November by Keaton St. James[Poem transcript: ”in the city at night, the buildings gleamwhiter than milk teeth. buses pass me,packed full with people who today have laughedor wept or sang, danced around the kitchenwith their good news or carried their bad newswith them into the rain, asking sorrows to turncloud-gray, rise, dissolve. tonight i walkalone to the river & lean over the railingsof the observation deck. streetlamp reflectionschurn golden swirls into the black current: the onlyconstellations that have learned how to shinethrough the light pollution. i promise myselfthat when i make it through next week(because it is when now, not if, not anymore),i will buy myself a root beer float tallerthan my head, & i will let my mouth get stickywith sugar, & i will name my hunger a blessing,loving it as i love all other animals.” /end transcript] -- source link
