Part of "Sonnets for an Old Century" by Rivera

The first time someone else’s tongue enters your mouth.
The first time a child trusts you to carry them to the next room.
The first time you drive safely from Westfield, Massachusetts to San Diego with someone you’re in love with.
The first time you watch birth.
The first lines of “Paradise Lost.”
The first time you make a decisive three point shot in a...

New Year's Eve Prayer
You, my love, are allowed to forget About the Christmas you just spent stressed out in your parents house. You, my love, are allowed to shed The weight of all the years before, like bad disco clothes, Save them for a night of dancing, stoned with you lover. You, my love, are allowed to let yourself drown Every night in bottomless wild and naked symbolic dreams. You, my love, in sleep can...

Why We Travel. →
Incredibly beautiful.
Abroad is the place where we stay up late, follow impulse and find ourselves as wide open as when we are in love. We live without a past or future, for a moment at least, and are ourselves up for grabs and open to interpretation. We even may become mysterious — to others, at first, and sometimes to ourselves — and, as no less a dignitary than Oliver ...

Dropping In.
Brass, stone; earth, boundless sea. Sad mortality, power, rage,
Beauty, plea. Action stronger flower, summer honey breath hold
Wrackful siege, battering days rocks impregnable, stout gates steel
Strong time decays. Fearful meditation, time best jewel, chest lie
hid. Strong hand swift foot spoil beauty forbid. None. Miracle.
Black ink. Love. Shine bright.

I wrote this on 28 March 2011, before this summer even happened. I wrote this full of aching nostalgia and dreams of what was to come. And now, reading it over, I feel like it embraces and illustrates everything that I have felt in the past four months out in the wilderness of my summer. I am no wonderful storyteller or psychic muse. But this shakes me to my core in its accuracy.
This is my first...
