About wocwog HJ. I love him. He's so raw, and there's so much pain and rage.

Romantic obsession is my first language. I live in a world of fantasies, infatuation and love poems. Sometimes I wonder if the yearning I’ve felt for others was more of a yearning for yearning itself. I’ve pined insatiably and repeatedly: for strangers, new lovers, unrequited flames. While the subjects changed, that feeling always remained. Perhaps, then, I have not been so infatuated with the people themselves, but with the act of longing.

New fiction! These are the 12 monthly picks from this year of the Belletrist website, I was commissioned by a book group who had been reading along with them!

I’ve only read a couple of these as I usually wait for paperbacks, but I liked both The Premonition and The Guest.

I had not vomited in so long Someone put the hex on my true-to-selfness Some sorcerer kept me far from my guts The guts I feared would choke me And make me ashamed of having no wings And drown my own heart I know how to survive a feeling But I forgot that I knew it A manic forgetter froze my meats I kept asking for help when I didn't need it My demons stared out from the ice When they finally thawed they'd been dead all along And now I am the walking thawed You survive yourself if you wait long enough And vomit your guts down your defrosted breast And bathe in your mess and say baby it's fine

“Was it ever real: the way we felt about another person? Or was it always a projection of something we needed or wanted regardless of them?”

I ask god to send a swordsman / and god says "look at your hands".

what a time we must be living in to bounce between extremes of the heart as an external remedy for the thoughts, and feelings that destory us when alone
