VELVET DARKNESS | Back Patio Press


"
After looking at the Hart Crane memorial sculpture,
I vomited into the Cuyahoga River
because I had too much cannoli at Sainato’s.

Even with a broken foot, I climbed Brandywine trails
to look down upon boulders the size of Megalodon skulls,
which are landscaping rust belt conservation areas.

One of my worst fears
is being too faint of heart,

in regards to myself.

A raccoon scuttered into pink shrubbery.
It can feel the rain without getting wet.
I need the same ancient intuition,

like Emersonian ink being a lifestyle
of velvet darkness."

We've also laid out a principled guide for platforms to respect user privacy and rights to bodily autonomy. This post is a guide specifically for anyone seeking an abortion and worried about their digital privacy. There is a lot of crossover with the tips outlined in the previously mentioned guides; many tips bear repeating."
