I stand,
- we stand,
me, I listen
to your memoirs
of heroin,
hallucinogens,
and merry-making.
You confess,
- considerately,
me, I listen
to recollections of
shattered glass,
sexually active spiders,
and premonitions,
all of which

I'm silent,
- incessantly,

to an existence
I will complacently
leave to you.

One Day I Shall Lay Down And Die
one day i shall lay down and die

my forehead pressed against yours
like two strange animals lost on a plain of
red sand. one day i shall lay down and die so

so for now i feast on beaches, your breath,
the flutter of my dress sore against my skin
someday i will find that peace,
plant a spring-flower deep in my heart, land one last cool kiss
on the bow of your mouth and sl
My names is MacKenzie Jarvis and I am a high school student in Iowa. I've taken Intro, Drawing, Sculpture, and Graphic Design classes that my school has offered up to this point. I've been drawing ever since I was little and am looking forward to a career in art. I also do drama, speech, and band. Lately it feels as if my inspiration has been dwindling and, frankly, it scares me but I'm confident that it's not gone forever. I've been delving a lot into photography lately. I would love some feedback on any of it because I'm not so sure if it's decent or not.
