Brand association
with my loving ache
Pairs beautifully
with tender laughter
and crisp apple cakes
Packaged up for purchase
my daydreams and my tears
Hoping someone buys them
and it quells all my fears

Advert attempts aged in apathy
actioned before it began
Never who you made me to be
which explains this sinking sand
If I wanted it more maybe I’d have it
— I tell myself to sleep
If I wanted him more maybe I’d know it
I tell myself to dream

Them there eyes

Illustration of a purple Doberman Pinscher looking at you under a night sky. A Polyphemus moth covers it’s face like a mask, where the patterned wings line up with the Doberman’s eyes.

there’s something special about friends who push you to do better in difficult moments

laser focus
cellophane
Umbrella wrapped
in pouring rain
Chasing lights
late night life
won’t ever find
Again

I add em dashes in a dickinson way not a “I need a robot’s help to write a sentence” way

jourdyn @jourdyn.bsky.social · Sep 9

chatGPT stealing the em dash is its worst offense cause now people won’t know I spent 2 hours refining that photo caption

A threshold, a precipice
Perhaps a step before a fall
I stood in that doorway
At once forever, at once not at all
To believe it took my mother
To remind me of the worth
To see this haunted house
And step out for my birth

Well, that.
It almost made me laugh.

Weapons (2025) may not be the best movie I’ve seen this year, but it sure as hell has the most iconic villain. Obsessed

Dim starlit avenues
chase time toward
a mausoleum where
memory still laughs
at the thought,

Where was I
if not with you?

Who was I
if not with you?

Ain’t it funny how
You push to love
How you
Ache to please
Lose yourself
Your sass

Ain’t it funny how
You let time pass
Filling gaps
With dead air
Not even noticing
You pulled away

Love
is yours to breathe

going outside frightens me
there’s pieces of you in the air
on the sidewalk, a willow tree
the sparrows nest above my window
a flower sustaining a bee—

my universe repeats your pattern
until you’re all I see
until days light returns
and again you’re next to me

If you own a business and make the decision to buy one-ply toilet paper, your business license should be revoked

teenage me was much more preoccupied with impressing myself than other people & I miss her

Fragments of past selves
Tie my wrists to you
So that when the music slows
And the dance ends
I remember not the cold
Left by your leaving hand
But the nostalgic grace
Of when you first grabbed me
