The Squish (a poem)
-Kimberly Rivera
I met them at a cowboy-themed party
Stetson hats, flannel shirts, cowboy boots
Fiddle and twangy guitar blasting loud
Scruffy people shuffling in a line
We spent the next three hours discussing Medieval France
(The Hundred Years’ War, The Norman Conquest, Battle of Tours)
And our favorite ice cream flavors
(Zanzibar, lime, Moose Tracks)
We both like The Color Purple and A Clockwork Orange
Apple juice with Corn Flakes
Walks along the bubbling brook
Stargazing on moonless nights
I learned about doo-wop
(The Harptones, The Moonglows, The Five Keys)
I taught them about Victorian poetry
(Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Matthew Arnold, Oscar Wilde)
We exchanged contact information
Boy, do I have a “squish” on them
I hope they have a “squish” on me
And then the party ended with a yee-haw and a “Hell yeah!”
Note:
What is a squish?
A squish is a platonic crush. It's when you get to know someone and have an intense desire to become friends with them. People in the aro and ace communities commonly use this term.

Wind From a Wanderer's Skull
My poetry collection, Wind From a Wanderer's Skull, is available for purchase on Amazon in paperback and digital editions! It is a compilation of my best works thus far, and I am happy to share it with the world.
If you would like to support a humble indie poet, by all means, please take a look! Your attention and readership will go a long way; this is my first step toward establishing a presence as an author. And as always: Thank you. I would not have been able to do this without the support I have received thus far.

An older poem from last year. But a new background. Being near or on water brings me peace. This poem is a reflection of that.

sweet tooth
my name is honey
dripping from your tongue
down my throat
warm flowing through my veins
engulfing me in sweetness
the foreign flavor shocking
my taste buds only knew
bitter and sour
never have they enjoyed such a vibrant flavor
before
the market shelves were only lined with
bumps and bruises
acids and spices
that burn and scrape against organs
bubbling up
suffocating
smothering
screaming
til i gave in
accepting the taste
until you came in
the new display
embodying sugar spice and everything nice
i grab a sample
hesitant
taking a bite
and i fall down
down
down
singing
soaring
smiling
i’m starting to think i have a sweet tooth
~ a. ana

FORBIDDEN LOVE So, if loving you is forbidden then let me commit treason. Because loving you was everything I was missing before I met you. You see The world will try to tell you things about love. Yet none of those things compares to you. Nor can the definition of love compete against you. Nor can Aphrodite herself stand next to you. So, if loving you is forbidden then call me a forbidden lover. Because nothing compares to love and be loved by you.

Sheets in Summer
I fall asleep quickly because
I want to escape
To run to dreams
And hopes
And could'ves
And should'ves
This world of unconscious
Possibility
But it isn't restful
It is exhausting
The distance overwhelms
(7.2.24)

This was the first poem of mine to get published. I am really proud of it. It also makes me laugh, because the people that published it were completely unaware of the fact that it may or may not have been inspired by the season 2 finale of goodomens.

guilt, or; i imagine myself lady macbeth behind a confessional screen // january 23 2023
#goddamn i did a good job with those screenshots though.#title under consideration! i don't know if wanted to leave the lady macbeth allusion as just an allusion#or if it wasn't clear enough + warranted pointing out#either way having the title at the end of the poem is really good to me. i like that a lot. ways i would format published stuff maybe.#poems about religion#catholic guilt#poems and poetry#original poetry#original poem#poets on tumblr#poetry#poetry and prose#we are back in the era of writing a poem and posting it straight away haha.#good for me to mix these in with the ones that get days and days of thought

ode to 52 blue, 3/17/24
"The 52-hertz whale, colloquially referred to as 52 Blue, is an individual whale of unidentified species that calls at the unusual frequency of 52 hertz. This pitch is at a higher frequency than that of the other whale species with migration patterns most closely resembling the 52-hertz whale's... ts call has been detected regularly in many locations since the late 1980s and appears to be the only individual emitting a whale call at this frequency."
