Do it! Objects

a beer can, 16 oz, silver, antique gold, paisley, bees that are somehow not terrifying, teal, milk & honey, leaves, cream, sweet layered smell, smooth feel, brown ale brewed with lactose and honey, small and large words, flowy sophisticated font, earth tones

a mess of rhetorical figures/random thoughts

-sad and lonely, the last of its kind
-a vessel for my loneliness
-smooth outside and in
-teal like the ocean
-tan as if the sand and sun mixed as one
-frills and trills and spills
-twirls and swirls
-intoxicating on its way to my lips
-left on my nightstand post intoxication
-two things that don't belong together
-two things that maybe should be together
-on a journey with a book
-two of the same name
-both on trip, back to you
-after all it was a gift from you
-antique gold like my new ring
-a ring so similar to ones you used to give me
-cold and heavy to the touch
-yet warm and inviting once inside
-but how many does it take to get inside ?
-inside me or inside you?

It's a small bowl, almost like a cup for pouring cream into coffee.  The color is somewhere between cerulean and teal.  Tiny black drawings and markings all around it.  Maybe a person a giraffe a lion and a turtle.  Maybe some smoke or wind above them blowing around.  Slight texture and ware on the piece, but still looks to be in good condition.  I would imagine it to feel like marble, heavy and smooth and comfortably cold.

Small and smooth and teal,
clean and crisp and curved.
Flowing and turning
giving and pouring.
A turtle leads the way
and a human in last place

Vast and round and cerulean,
worn and cold and crescent.
Drawing and marking
collapsing and relinquishing.
A sea underneath the heard
and and ocean within their whole.

Pen Pal Poem

Dear Florencia,
     I hope the makeup I've sent you for christmas has finally gotten there by now, on account of it's March and all.  I hope you enjoy the dewy glow of the highlighter, the sharpness of the tattoo liner, the creamy pigmented shadows, and of most of all the most matte, black lipstick I could find.  Because when I think of edgy soft goth I think of you.  Also I put the picture of Niall you wrapped my present in on my bookstand so I can be motivated by his beauty every morning when I awake.  Next time I will be sure to wrap yours in a picture of Zayn to blossom similar inspirations.  Hope Argentina is well, I'm sure New York will have similar weather soon.  Love Always, Katelyn

Dear Florencia,

I hope when you finally get your gifts,
you embrace the dewy glow,
the edgy soft goth.

I blossom into a new woman,
every morning when I see Niall.

I wish to inspire you
to do the same.
Be wrapped up in Zayn

in his sharpness and tattoos.
And sit by your bookstand in awe.

Love Always, Katelyn
