You swerve to avoid a squirrel. Unknown to you, the squirrel pledges a life debt to you. In your darkest hour, the squirrel arrives.

“Another day is passing by, And I have scribbled down some words,
They might be of little significance for others, Albeit for me; they are my swords.”
— the rise of a writer against writer’s block; a poem by Noor Unnahar

What would it be like / to live in a library / of melted books. / With sentences streaming over the floor / and all the punctuation / settled to the bottom as a residue. / It would be confusing. / Unforgivable. / A great adventure.
Anne Carson, from Plainwater: Essays & Poetry; “Wildly Constant” (via violentwavesofemotion)
In my dream I apologize to everyone I meet. Instead of introducing myself, I apologize for not knowing why I am alive. I am sorry. I am sorry. I apologize. In real life, oddly enough, when I am fully awake and out and about, if I catch someone’s eye, I quickly look away. Perhaps this too is a form of apology.
Claudia Rankine, from Don’t Let Me Be Lonely (via bostonpoetryslam)
Today’s writing prompt:
We don’t need another song about California.
How do people write about the place you’re from? What is there left to say? What about your experience there is unique?
I don’t know when I became a space to be filled, my thigh an open lease.
