  1. Lolita (1955)

    Somehow, I can still feel the book burning under my shirt
                and I remember the shirt, white, billowing at the edges,
    the one-handed bike ride, my right arm wrapped around
                the jagged corners, dulled with cloth,
                            the path home, darkening
                behind me. Always, I am outrunning the darkness,
    with this book flush against my stomach, flush against flesh
    The untanned middle, the small belly button
    like an eyehole in a fishing lure,

                I did not yet know what bait I was

    But I knew to be afraid, like I knew to cry
    when my mother told me, through the open door of my bedroom,
                that I would wear a training bra soon; The way she said it like a fact,
    but also a promise,
                            a swear, but also a swear word

                I did not yet know all the words I was about to be

    but trees lit my path home, trees with their grasping arms,
                burning branches of green smoke
                            The sky, a placid eye I did not know was watching me,
    and at home, when the narrator,
                unreliable and unsurprising as he was,
                            reveals himself to be a villain—

                                        Later, as I read on my back under the yellow covers,
                                                    tented, panting, sweat like a film over my eyes—

    Reveals himself, like Dracula pulling back the cape, a woosh of wind,
    even then, I could tell that he believed,
                really, truly believed,
                that she was a villain too

                Just look at her red smile, her plaits with their ribboned ends,
                the strange omen of her body, changing all at once,
    like the Eucharist
                becoming something new, some holy or sin,
    and I knew I was changing, even then,
                but whether God was entering or leaving me,
                                                                                                    I still can’t tell

  2. What I Want to Tell My Husband While We Clean the Kitchen

    I need you to know I ache today. I need you to know
    and actually give a shit this time. I am tired
    of being graceful in the face of death.
    I am tired of trying not to wonder
    what age will take from me.
    The smooth skin like clear glassy water
    on the face of a lake. The days rolling by
    in their quiet divinity. The easy peace
    of knowing I didn’t miss another unreclaimable
    moment while I was drying dishes or hanging up bras
    or trying to store up enough energy to love this family
    like I used to when I felt there was still enough of me
    left to love. Look at me and let me love you.
    Promise me we’ll live long enough for this to be worth it.
    For the haphazard pattern of our hours to smooth itself out
    like a fitted sheet flattened over the mattress, white
    as the sun in its unchanging aching glory.
    Tell me you ache too, and that if I asked you,
    you would still run with me away from all this
    into the perfect oblivion of a moonless sky.

  3. Sitting Alone in Our Apartment Against All Better Judgement 

    It is late spring. I am seven months along. It won’t stop raining.
    The worst part of the rain is all the wet ashtrays making my hair
    smell like someone else’s smoke. John is smoking now. Even my sister
    is probably out smoking somewhere with Peter, and I am only here with her.
    I feel her kick against my hand, the skin shifting from the inside. In my mind,
    she is still half monster, half hope. Pregnancy is more gruesome than I expected.
    All black bile and strange vapors and the cruel transformation of the body
    into something I can’t recognize or even lay claim to. She kicks again,
    and I feel she has staked something. Her small fingers, toes touching and taking
    the whole of myself, each movement the sharp puncture of flag digging into earth.
    Is this how it feels to be conquered? I fear she owns everything now: my body,
    my heart, my fear, my hatred, my life, and the whole world, all of its leaves
    and all of its clouds and all of its cigarettes and smoke and ashtrays and rain
    and she is even in the rain

  8. Maisie Williams at The Business of Fashion Celebrates The Bof 500 Class of 2023 in Paris, September 30, 2023 #CelebrityPhotos #MaisieWilliams whoischic.com/?p=83073

  9. #TheFalling, 2014, written and #DirectedBy #CarolMorley turned out to be much darker and #erotic #film in ways I wasn't expecting.

    #MaisieWilliams (#AryaStark, #GoT) does an excellent job holding together a sometimes meandering plot, and #FlorencePugh gives a strong performance in a limited role.

    For something a bit different, though uneven, I recommend this #movie.
