“How I regret not opening

my mouth, the down-lit cast of my glance
where I studied that quality, sun-
runner, gold bodied, how could I
answer you with all this earth

piled on my tongue, your limbs
just stripped of anger, how could I say,
yes, there is something on my mind
rushing up as river in a locked car;

voice ruined, how could I explain the meteor
in my chest cavity, could I cluster verbs
into sardine cans and twist the lid
back on and tamp it shut with the

gold hammer of my must-not-say-
that, which huddled, parched,
as we said goodnight, see you
in the morning, don’t stay up too late.”
— Kenzie Allen, Whatever Is the Matter

“I love unmade beds. I love when people are drunk and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. I love the look in people’s eyes when they realize they’re in love. I love the way people look when they first wake up and they’ve forgotten their surroundings. I love the gasp people take when their favorite character dies. I love when people close their eyes and drift to somewhere in the clouds. I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time. I fall in love with their breakdowns and their smeared makeup and their daydreams. Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words.”
