Kelly using a year’s worth of her own instagram captions to write a poem // responding to Larissa’s piece, “Bottle Episode”

to <3 something is to see it as it is 👻 👀

can you feel 
the love tonight 
in ghost world 
I’m back 
on my bullshit, 
rosebud 
like it’s hard? 
I’m right
where you 
left me 
on repeat 
am / pm 
signs & 
synchronicities
I want 2 
believe
you can 
act normal 
& take me 
2 church 
is this day 7 
or day 700 of 
la vie en
slow 
wknd things 
how many
portals can we
open boo 
it’s just a bunch 
of hocus pocus 
this regularly 
scheduled 
programming
let’s chase 
sunsets & 
sunday magic 
cuz the
the tan lines 
may fade 
but you’re 
still my 
golden hour 
we’re moving 
to the end 
of the earth 
is a message
from the 
universe
estoy aquí 
dropped into 
heaven 
& I’m chillin’ 
like a villain
recalibrating 
my vibe
look up 
look up
this is the 
déjà vu place 
where we once
did a thing 
in a dream 
that’s gonna 
take us 
30 years 
to recover  
from thought 
I watched 
the throne
but I’ve 
opened my 
eyes & 
it’s true, 
ce n'est
pas un
 
almost
better

🙏

Well, thank you for holding up that mirror.

The breakthrough I found was

actually in my most recent post.

"Balancing act".

Looking further I found

that for an image-first platform,

I talk way too much.

There's no balance.

Just words.

And more words.

Hardly a selfie.

A good reflection of me.
