    it’s images like this i’d live and die for 
    kept securely within my chest,
    a less piercing form of homesickness
    more beautiful -
    you aren’t here and yet i feel - and i want you -
    as if you were in the next room

    it’s been years and i am just now telling you
    things that i, before, kept lodged in my throat
    it scares me still but i want you to know
    the same way i did that way in july when i first
    overcame my fear
    so let me find words for the finest kind
    of golden hour within my mind -

    you call me a hurricane, a sea
    but what if, for a moment, i was still,
    held, wrists in your hands
    above my head?
    i am all angles and curves in all the wrong places
    hard-edged everywhere i should be soft
    eyes too dark to be this light
    but what if i was beautiful, something close to gentle,
    then, there, to you?
    i’ve spent my life as soon as i could
    running, but what if, for once,
    i didn’t want to flee,
    held fast in that early morning light?
    then at last, desperation could go unspoken,
    but be known and seen and felt…

  15. Be The Fletcher To My Island

    Sometimes having DID and headmates that are JUST as talented as you at both the same things – and different ones – is a fuckin’ gas, y’all.

    Back in 2014-ish I wrote a poem that turned into one of my better-known songs about a crush of mine. It was called “My Island”. I was obsessed with the Mutiny on the Bounty for reasons I still can’t quite articulate, and the second verse contains one of my favorite lines I’ve ever written:

    “Be the Fletcher to my island, be the Fletcher coming coming home”

    I’m not entirely sure why that line gets me so bad more than a decade later. It may be the fact that it’s a reference to Fletcher Christian, leader of the Mutiny on the Bounty, choosing the South Pacific over duty, country, etc., and settling with a few members of his crew in one of the most remote places on Earth, Pitcairn Island, after mutinying, and wanting to feel chosen like that. Maybe it’s my love for history references in general. Maybe it’s that I still yearn for people like I did when I was 14-17 and I struggle to express it now, and I love that line so much because it’s My Peak Teenage Yearning, something I feel like I can’t verbalize anymore, even though I’m arguably more safe now to do so than I was then.

    Anyway, here’s the original take as it appeared on our first self released EP Fletcher Coming Home: Good Stuff From 2014.

    A different cut appeared awhile later on our first album The Mellon Session as well:

    But my favorite version of “My Island” came much later when Eight was host and he snuck into a church while bored out of his fucking skull to record this absolutely achingly beautiful take of “My Island” for his then-partner Juneau.

    I can still feel the longing even now, and his arrangement is so fucking beautiful.

    Holy shit.
