Anonymous asked: hello hello K: want you to know that i LOVE your writing when you share it. basically, i was curious as to why you haven't posted new journals or poems in awhile? we're still reading! your words bring me to tears sometimes because it is so hard to be queer and asian confronting so many issues. that's all i really wanted to share!

crankyskirt asked: "I love you & that's what it is." - stealing that line to say to people! I wish more of us were willing to put that into words for our non-romantic loved ones... we don't make it explicitly nearly as often as it needs to be expressed. Your friend is awesome.

[chicago 2011] winter morning pages
1) like graveyard, the bus stop a tombstone. my mother’s laugh barreling down spaulding and kedzie, passed the rusted iron tracks. tree branches sway hard winded caucophonies as big as mama’s hair in the 80’s. three times already I woke up from sleep hoping she would call me to poke fun of my clothes, slip a $20 bill in a coatpocket like a modern day spy. bet you it would be the...
