Siken, Richard -- from Crush

[mm511]

I just posted the first section of this poem yesterday, but a few people asked for the entire thing, and I dunno if I can edit old posts in moderated communities, so I just thought I'd post it again, this time in its entirety. Again, I tried to get the spacing as close to the original as possible, but it's still a bit off. But, without further ado

it's funny you posted this, because i was just looking at it online to order. nice timing!

It's excellent. Buy it immediately. In fact, buy two, just in case you lose one or have it kidnapped or something tragic like that.

If I hadn't just spent nine billion dollars on books for school, I would definitely buy this collection.

I'll put it on my Christmas list.

This poem was gorgeous and heart wrenching.

I love that book and cannot describe how wonderful it is. It's one of the books I carry wherever I go./weird

I know exactly what you mean! I'm thinking about just sticking it on the shelf and not pulling it out for quite awhile, because I keep randomly reading poems over and over again, and it's interrupting the other seven or so books I'm trying to read currently.

Silly Siken.

I think I'm going to buy it. When I have the money for it.

Just.. wow.
