The Curbside Prophet

My name is Alyssa Mae.

I am a mid-twenties avid intersectional feminist, advocate, fighter, counselor, and friend. I will be graduating from Bucknell University in May with degrees in Psychology and Women’s & Gender Studies. I work with survivors of sexual assault and other trauma, and I fix computers for a living.

I often blog about what it is like to live at the intersections of a few different mental illnesses, queerness, and sexuality, along with posts about sexism, racism, rape culture, and LGBT rights. There is a trigger warning for these on my entire blog. You will see posts about depression, eating disorders, PTSD, panic disorder, and fat activism. This has been my safe space for four years now, and I reserve the right to ask you to leave it if necessary.

Welcome to my life.

Shorely Sublime

Lying here, wet from a 10pm dip —
the ocean my cleanser;
the beach my personal recliner —
I’m listening to the whispering waves
with thoughts of you and me
stretched between the
sand and the stars.

And just like that, you have filled
my conscious, and my existence;
Every grain of sand here,
Every wave in the ocean there
Speaks of you, and you alone.

The city behind me, let it go on as it does —
Hustling and bustling,
Foraging and forsaking —
Its numerous lights blinking
in the face of my peace
(The picture of you)
illuminating this
pitch dark horizon.

Oblivious tis to the silent punctuation
of pause and perseverance;
Oblivious tis to the secrets that
(I feel)
exist in these moments
of calm quietude
and the sussurus of serendipity
the waves speak;
the sand listens

And I?

I revel in you.
