I RARELY HAVE AN ADDRESS


many parts of my life are over, some are just beginning. 
i'm okay with that. 

i paint sometimes, but usually just with words. 

i move a lot. i leave pieces of myself in all the places i've been 
and hope to get them back in all the places i'll go. 

i generally live out of suitcases and sometimes feel like my life 
is a movie, alternating between "mute" and "blaring." 

my goal in life is to live in SF and write books, 
or teach books or sell books. 

i stare out of windows a lot and i miss the ocean 
more than i ever thought i would. 

i don't eat things with faces, evz. 

i'm generally sort of queer, in every sense of the word. 

i really enjoy a good hand holding. driving around or 
wandering aimlessly at night is one of my favourite past-times. 

i'm indecisive and intense and analytical. 

mostly, i am quite strange. 

i'm learning. 

i think human interaction is an odd concept, 
since there are so many variables. 

it's intriguing. 

i like talking to people and finding out the stories behind them.

because i don't know
when or how i'll
see you
again
and because i
don't know
what or where
you think -
i wanted to
give you something
from this city.
from this heart.

something raw
and red
for you to see.

it's not much,
but it is clean
and it is all i have.

thank you.

Tiffany Sommer's writing is genuine, moving, inspiring, and emotionally complex......yet, also brilliant in poetic simplicity. We are proud to have her as one of our guests on this blog.
