#richard siken let me talk to you. – @patronsaintofwant on Tumblr

“Their names remain on the deed to the house. It isn’t haunted, it’s owned by ghosts. When I die, I will come in fast and low. I will stick the landing. There will be no confusion. The dead will make room for me.”

— Richard Siken, from his new poem “Real Estaste”

#richard siken let me talk to you.#t: words #siken.#i heard a dark prediction rising in my own body.#home is the first grave.#i'll be your slaughterhouse.#the dead will make room for me.
