mini bottles and jars

i collect bottles

small, mini bottles.

1 inch by 1.5 inch cork bottles, 

centimeter sized jars,

and they are functional

and quite cheap.

so when i buy these bottles and jars

it is done quite obsesively.

i can feel the dopamine rush when i see small, functional objects.

i own 4 cork bottles

20 jars

and they don't take up much room,

so i can buy them in bulk.

my mother never understands why 

i refer to this collection, these bottles, as "cute"

as if one would be attracted to these objects,

but when you fill these bottles,

with even smaller objects,

these habitats of color and fake life

blossom and become beautiful.

so,

try collecting mini bottles and jars

they might just find a special string in your heart to hold onto.

    I feel like I'm imposing

    Which isn't fair for you to do,

    It's not fair that you make me feel like I'm on the outside

    I hate sitting here, trying to reignite what once was

    I thought we we're doing this anymore

  • unkept (wo)man

    subjugated to solitude eternal,

    only perceiving and watching love,

    maybe receiving it but never understanding it

    never internalizing it

    it bounces off. Doesn't stick,

    unkept and unruly and unclean.
