lesbians-and-liquor asked: Aww, it still looks good :) . I actually just made mine a few days ago so, I will be a Tumblr junkie for awhile lol. Yes, yes you will. Just a heads up you will probably lose sleep, get distracted at work, become obsessed with strangers, get cramps from pressing refresh, discover all the friends you ever needed are online, ignore real life and become a hermit. Enjoy. :) |

Now that he is safely dead
Let us praise him
build monuments to his glory
sing hosannas to his name.
Dead men make
such convenient heroes: They
cannot rise
to challenge the images
we would fashion from their lives.
And besides,
it is easier to build monuments
than to make a better world.

Residue
i give myself five days to forget you.
on the first day i rust.
on the second i wilt.
on the third day i sit with friends but i think about your tongue.
i clean my room on the fourth day. i clean my body on the fourth day.
i try to replace your scent on the fourth day.
the fifth day, i adorn myself like the mouth of an inmate.
a wedding singer dressed in borrowed gold.
the midas of cheap metal.
tinsel in the middle of summer.
crevice glitter, two days after the party.
i glow the way unwanted things do,
a neon sign that reads;
come, i still taste like someone else’s mouth.
