Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - —love would come
blinking fast
it would come 
it would come
it would come
  again—
.
.
.
people are always 
expecting me 
to fuck 
like a porn star
.
I only play one 
on the teevee 
some
times
.
and this time I’d wanted to. 
I’d really wanted to 
  fuck to black
	 fuck to forgetting. 
.
I was sleeping 
with women I felt 
wanted to devour me. 
perhaps they did. 
perhaps they didn’t.
perhaps I wanted 
them to. 
.
surprised to find me 
softer, sweeter, 
than what they’d 
imagined 
in a bedroom.
.
and then the fall
and the run
me running 
sans shoes 
through the night 
away from mosh 
pits of fantasy
disguised 
as love
.
my arms 
limp spaghetti
i’d only wanted 
to be tossed 
round a room
against a wall
am I ready yet
cum till I wept
.
a life in monogamy
hasn’t worked yet
I’m not taking bets
but I might be done
.
and then the gifts
they started coming
what were they buying?
what were they silencing?
never knew one
that didn’t have 
the price tag
left on
.
I had to go
.
a blizzard.
January in Texas
blanket of snow
on the Texan street
the Texan cacti
an orange tree 
.
and me alone 
with my feelings
and my friends
and my feelings
and the snow
.
and with it
I could near hear 
the radiator 
blurring steam
.
in New York
all couples
become teams
fighting the elements 
in winter
even the dead ones
rally and try again
a simple means
of survival
a heart fed
.
I could feel 
our sheets 
kicked off socks
from heat
at the foot
of a bed
our home
not my home
  anymore
.
a sleep 
like I’ve never had 
before
or again
her head 
on my
warm chest
.
busy street 
where poets 
once poet-ed 
now karaoke
and hot dogs
  yuppies
their voices 
bouncing 
off walls 
of glass
and still—
.
a place 
you could feel 
time
.
that bed
that building
that view 
of a snowblown 
city street
in morning
and—
.
gone.
.
the Texas snow.
and the feeling.
fast as they’d come.
.
and she—
like out of a sad dream
an almost nightmare
a misspent 
beautiful dream
headlights 
blaring past
screaming
love would come
blinking fast
it would come 
it would come
it would come
  again
a comet 
hurling
and for a flash
.
she was a light.

it would come
  again—
.
.
.
people are always 
expecting me 
to fuck 
like a porn star
.
I only play one 
on the teevee 
some
times
.
and this time I’d wanted to. 
I’d really wanted to 
  fuck to black
	 fuck to forgetting. 
.
I was sleeping 
with women I felt 
wanted to devour me. 
perhaps they did. 
perhaps they didn’t.
perhaps I wanted 
them to. 
.
surprised to find me 
softer, sweeter, 
than what they’d 
imagined 
in a bedroom.
.
and then the fall
and the run
me running 
sans shoes 
through the night 
away from mosh 
pits of fantasy
disguised 
as love
.
my arms 
limp spaghetti
i’d only wanted 
to be tossed 
round a room
against a wall
am I ready yet
cum till I wept
.
a life in monogamy
hasn’t worked yet
I’m not taking bets
but I might be done
.
and then the gifts
they started coming
what were they buying?
what were they silencing?
never knew one
that didn’t have 
the price tag
left on
.
I had to go
.
a blizzard.
January in Texas
blanket of snow
on the Texan street
the Texan cacti
an orange tree 
.
and me alone 
with my feelings
and my friends
and my feelings
and the snow
.
and with it
I could near hear 
the radiator 
blurring steam
.
in New York
all couples
become teams
fighting the elements 
in winter
even the dead ones
rally and try again
a simple means
of survival
a heart fed
.
I could feel 
our sheets 
kicked off socks
from heat
at the foot
of a bed
our home
not my home
  anymore
.
a sleep 
like I’ve never had 
before
or again
her head 
on my
warm chest
.
busy street 
where poets 
once poet-ed 
now karaoke
and hot dogs
  yuppies
their voices 
bouncing 
off walls 
of glass
and still—
.
a place 
you could feel 
time
.
that bed
that building
that view 
of a snowblown 
city street
in morning
and—
.
gone.
.
the Texas snow.
and the feeling.
fast as they’d come.
.
and she—
like out of a sad dream
an almost nightmare
a misspent 
beautiful dream
headlights 
blaring past
screaming
love would come
blinking fast
it would come 
it would come
it would come
  again
a comet 
hurling
and for a flash
.
she was a light.

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - mother, I’ve left for the circus.
mother, I won’t be home
when supper is ready, the sound 
of the cow bell, the porch light left on.
.
mother, I won’t be back
to tend to the garden.
I won’t collect the eggs from the hens.
mother, I will not be home again.
.
mother, I’ve left with the circus.
mother, I’ve lost my thumbs. 
mother, I’ve burned my bridges.
when the circus calls, one must come.
.
I spend my days sweating in trapeze tents. 
I sit with the lions and tickle their gums.
I don’t have favorites but if I did, 
the sharp-teethed, they’d be the ones.
.
mother, I feel best in the lamp light.
mother, I’m best outside the drawers.
mother, I’m best amongst the bearded ladies,
camp fires, clowns, and whores.
.
curl a palm around bent faces
feel lives beating inside drums
steady as a ship through night,
hands pulled my pocket, said, come.
.
mother, I’ve run off with the circus. 
mother, I’m not coming home.
mother, I’ll rest my head on train cars.
not to worry, I’m not alone.

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Gay things - off a prompt from @lydiagranered

In Austin, April is a magnificent surge. Greenery springing, as if from one of those children’s games involving linked arms, leaning back then catapulting forward at the help of sweaty teammates. 
.
Nature moves, as if with a mission to take itself back, as though we are but squatters on this land. And in truth, we are. Vines come back stronger for having survived winter. They wrap themselves around the inanimate —  ladders, wood planks, metal, plastic — de-arranging components, elements, molecules. The teamwork of trees and mushrooms. The decay repurposed as fuel. As new life. 
.
I had never witnessed a plant growing before my eyes until Texas. Trumpet vines double in size as water hits them. It’s something out of Alice’s wonderland. Plants I’d thought dead return triumphant. 
.
I had chalked up the landscape being overgrown to the people here caring more about the quality of their lives than perfectly mown lawns. Charming. Part of me moved here for the sweet relief of imperfect lawns. I now understand that Austin’s deeply rooted nature will only come back harder, stronger, faster, the more it is cut back. 
.
So what really is the bloody point of quieting what is determined to be the loudest voice in the room? And why shouldn’t it be? Nature, Gaia, Mother Earth, what is for me, synonymous with equality, with truth, with life force, with God, and most recently, despite being a descendant of Cuban Catholics, the word gay. 
Lydia and I chuckling as we bow our heads in earnest at my Texas dining table, “dear Gay….”
.
Tonight I walk past a house where children play. Chalk in the well-loved lending library. And because I am a forever child, I pull the chalk from the library to use it. I contemplate writing the word gay.

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Autumn.
.
.
we’re in the elevator
falling
floors away 
from summer
.
.
in the next room, 
where September 
spins on a loom,
a half-held moon
catches our smile
.
.
sleepy-eyed,
beneath a cool sky
that starved our speech 
and fed our laughter,
we did not kiss.
.
.
in autumn, 
I break the bat
just stepping
to the plate
.
.
I have always been this way.
.
.
the air smells like beer
and wet dirt
and winter hats
and plaid shirts
and sex on first dates

on the phone a friend leaves me a message
“I want to be balanced and right-sized,” they say.

Yeah.

another says,
“The only expectation you can have of another adult is that they will express their wants and needs.”

giddy and scarfing 2am pizza,

writing desires

fools for that warm feeling

therapy,

I look down at my cold feet.
I keep them moving.

Yeah.
This.

103 on a September day,

slow-ly

bite by bite
piece by piece
marked by canines—
lover’s teeth

the loyal kind.

let’s get this out of the way—

I’m walking the pony

I’m leaving the pen door cracked
giddy up if you need to go

we’re in the elevator
falling
floors away 
from summer
.

in the next room, 
where September 
spins on a loom,
a half-held moon
catches our smile
.

sleepy-eyed,
beneath a cool sky
that starved our speech 
and fed our laughter,
we did not kiss.

just stepping

we slop up tequila
.
.
we are school children
writing desires
in one another’s diaries
fools for that warm feeling
.
.
before that
therapy,
where my therapist says,
like a Cheshire Cat, 
“it’s a good time. You feel sturdy.”
.
.
I look down at my cold feet.
I keep them moving.
.
.
Yeah.
This. 
That.
This.
.
.
A salted wound that only swimming can fix.
.
.
I am satiated by my solitude.
I am nourished by friendship.
my thirst is quenched by our art.
.
.
The worries of our world roll, 
	ache
 	pull
	at me

and / if / but

I talk to god
and listen. 
.
.
I want for nothing.
.
.
103 on a September day,
the sentiment remains—
	
	I fall 
		at my knees
 	for fall. 
.
.
for the first time
in my life
I want to fall in love
slow-ly
.
.
bite by bite
piece by piece
marked by canines—
lover’s teeth
.
.
I want to be fucked 
	reckless
right there
in the g-spot 
of my mind
and in a body
the loyal kind.
.
.
let’s get this out of the way—
.
.
I’m walking the pony 
back to the barn each night, 
I’m leaving the pen door cracked
giddy up if you need to go
.
.
I’m taking the long road back
to my place
where the fire’s burning
and handwritten letters 
are on the way

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - the cowlick 
on the back of my head 
is in the shape of a vortex.
a whirlpool
		yeah,
that’s the word.
.
.
I always thought 
that patch of hair 
stood up at attention 
because too many times,
I’d slept on it wet 
bent the follicles 
to sway in that direction — 
unkempt
.
.
I’ve been taming it,
the cowlick,
wetting it down 
in the bathroom mirror 
each morning for years 
before work
thought that’ll fix it
.
.
last week, I shave my head 
and find out the true shape 
of this cowlick.
 huh.
not what I’d expect.
 a whirlpool.
it’s cute, really.
.
.
my mother always said, 
from an arial view, 
the streets where I grew up 
looked like a rose 
.
.
I’d say it does look something like a bud
like the growth on the ZZ plant,
Z’s finger’s pointing to the new buds,
one by one
.
.
or like a pussy
the one I’m looking up at now
watching my girlfriend shave
the one they own
.
.
I’m sitting on the bathroom tile
playing with the dog
thinking how
becoming myself 
can feel so very pedestrian 
a pair of clippers 
like the ones we use 
to groom the pup
.
.
I’ve contemplated shaving my head
since I first saw GI Jane
and one night we just do it
no time like the present
.
.
I wept
watching years of hair 
fall to the ground
like a story
.
.
I felt like a sheep 
being sheered after winter
I felt like a mammal
and not just a girl
.
.
I never got the turns right 
on those rosebud streets
lost again, leash in hand
blankets of salty fog
.
.
I grew up here.
could I really be this dumb.
.
.
streets that curve 
and tumble you back 
in the direction from which
you’d come
.
.
but I knew, 
when I hit that blue 
horizon 
I was heading west
all roads lead 
to home
.
.
I’m watering a palm tree 
I rescued 
from a dumpster 
and it lives in my living room 
in Texas,
always looking a little lost
.
.
that first winter,
I watched those sweet palms 
die and wilt under the weight 
of snow and frost
.
.
what is a palm tree doing in Texas?

I’ve been taming it,
the cowlick,
wetting it down 
in the bathroom mirror 
each morning for years 
before work
thought that’ll fix it
.
.
last week, I shave my head 
and find out the true shape 
of this cowlick.
 huh.
not what I’d expect.
 a whirlpool.
it’s cute, really.
.
.
my mother always said, 
from an arial view, 
the streets where I grew up 
looked like a rose 
.
.
I’d say it does look something like a bud
like the growth on the ZZ plant,
Z’s finger’s pointing to the new buds,
one by one
.
.
or like a pussy
the one I’m looking up at now
watching my girlfriend shave
the one they own
.
.
I’m sitting on the bathroom tile
playing with the dog
thinking how
becoming myself 
can feel so very pedestrian 
a pair of clippers 
like the ones we use 
to groom the pup
.
.
I’ve contemplated shaving my head
since I first saw GI Jane
and one night we just do it
no time like the present
.
.
I wept
watching years of hair 
fall to the ground
like a story
.
.
I felt like a sheep 
being sheered after winter
I felt like a mammal
and not just a girl
.
.
I never got the turns right 
on those rosebud streets
lost again, leash in hand
blankets of salty fog
.
.
I grew up here.
could I really be this dumb.
.
.
streets that curve 
and tumble you back 
in the direction from which
you’d come
.
.
but I knew, 
when I hit that blue 
horizon 
I was heading west
all roads lead 
to home
.
.
I’m watering a palm tree 
I rescued 
from a dumpster 
and it lives in my living room 
in Texas,
always looking a little lost
.
.
that first winter,
I watched those sweet palms 
die and wilt under the weight 
of snow and frost
.
.
what is a palm tree doing in Texas?

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - there’s a keyboard
in my apartment
that I’ve had 
since I was fourteen
.
.
I keep the keys dusted
polished clean
.
.
just incase 
you should pass by
and play our song
again.

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Happy pride, queers and allies!
🏳️‍🌈🦄🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💖✨

Another gay turn around the sun. 
This one marks 10 years out of le closet for me. 
I feel nostalgic and grateful for the entire journey, even the challenging parts — those cracked me open and gave me new eyes to see with too. They softened me, they changed my view, my purpose. May the journey continue. May we continue to stare right down the barrel of love.

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - “Honey comb. The roses I bought. Pencils I stand in line to sharpen in the portable classroom in the sixth grade. Shorts I bleed through because I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone I got my period. Because I don’t have a mother to teach me about these things. Patten leather shoes that are too small. The golden arches I ride my bike toward because I want to run away but don’t know where else to go, so I eat nuggets and ride home, handle bars sticky with sweet and sour sauce.” 
— Yellow (excerpt)

I’ll be throwing it back to adolescence on April 30th, reading some poems packed with bittersweet pubescent angst and nostalgia from my forthcoming book of poetry, Teeth. 
It’s gonna get gooey and hopefully-possibly relatable? 🙏🏼 🫣🥴

(Swipe through for cringe adolescent photos — that 🌈 bikini and yet somehow I still hadn’t figured out how queer I was lol.)

Join us at 7pm on Tuesday April 30th @vintagebooksandwine for readings by @thefujikawa , @allisonpricedirector , 👋🏼, @jasminegamespoetry , @mikekpz_poetry , followed by an open mic ✍🏼 🎤

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Friendly folk, @honeyandmilkfilm will be screening in ATX April 15th and NYC May 9th!

Spring, to me, will forever represent nature’s lush rebirth. As we move through April, I am flooded with memories of a particular spring in which 30  queers gathered on a female owned flower farm in the heart of Texas to bring a bittersweet story of queer love to life. 

“Have you ever pulled a vegetable directly from the ground and taken a bite?
This is queer love.”

Please enjoy these still from the film.
I hope to hug you after the screening tomorrow in ATX or in NYC in May!

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Friendly folk, @honeyandmilkfilm will be screening in ATX April 15th and NYC May 9th!

Spring, to me, will forever represent nature’s lush rebirth. As we move through April, I am flooded with memories of a particular spring in which 30  queers gathered on a female owned flower farm in the heart of Texas to bring a bittersweet story of queer love to life. 

“Have you ever pulled a vegetable directly from the ground and taken a bite?
This is queer love.”

Please enjoy these still from the film.
I hope to hug you after the screening tomorrow in ATX or in NYC in May!

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Tonight I look forward to being with you, right here in Austin, the birth place of this film, and to bask in the healing balm of queer community, friendship, fluidity, and the root of love, which I do believe is freedom. And I will caveat that by saying freedom which does no harm. A distinction we learn and experience together, piece by little piece. 

I dedicate this evening to the magnanimous and beloved, lost and never forgotten, Cecilia Gentili. 
May she rest in radiant peace. 

Tonight we celebrate Honey & Milk’s return to Austin at Hotel Vegas at 8pm presented by @hyperrealfilmclub screening before Under the Tuscan Sun. 
I hope to hug you there.

Much love,

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Part 3/3
I was an art-hungry kid spending my days in the aisles of the Samuel French bookstore on Sunset with my nose deep in Shanley, Rebeck, Lorca, Williams, Chekhov. And between that auditions, including the one where the woman waiting ahead of me to go into the casting office whispered into her phone, “I’m just gonna book this job,” then proceeded to slide her underwear off from beneath her skirt, wink at me while dropping them into her purse, and let out false moans of pleasure within moments of closing the casting office door behind her. 
.
.
My nights consisted of acting classes, waiting on tables, and reluctantly using fake ID’s to get into clubs where I could bump elbows with industry people, pass them my business card, and politely assuage their advances. 
.
.
I rented every movie Meryl Streep had ever done and wrote essays about them for my own pleasure. Just to quench a thirst, a need to be studious, or perhaps simply to consider myself something more than a pig on a spit for consumption. Anything to keep the flame of my intelligence, my love of stories, burning.

And between that auditions, including the one where the woman waiting ahead of me to go into the casting office whispered into her phone, “I’m just gonna book this job,” then proceeded to slide her underwear off from beneath her skirt, wink at me while dropping them into her purse, and let out false moans of pleasure within moments of closing the casting office door behind her. 
.
.
My nights consisted of acting classes, waiting on tables, and reluctantly using fake ID’s to get into clubs where I could bump elbows with industry people, pass them my business card, and politely assuage their advances. 
.
.
I rented every movie Meryl Streep had ever done and wrote essays about them for my own pleasure. Just to quench a thirst, a need to be studious, or perhaps simply to consider myself something more than a pig on a spit for consumption. Anything to keep the flame of my intelligence, my love of stories, burning.

Jennifer Parkhill Instagram - Part 2/3
At school, I carried a thick book on breaking into the business of acting. I’d had my first agent at age 12, the unexpected outcome of a beauty pageant my grandmother had placed me in to distract me from my parent’s tumultuous divorce. I’d earned but two non-speaking film credits but from the POV of my 17 year-old brain, four years at a university would only stall my imminent success. None of my family had graduated college. It wasn’t a given that I would go. I chose not to try.
.
.
Until years later. 
A story for another day. 
.
.
Highlighter in hand, I snuck my walkman headphones on beneath my hoodie to drown the voices of my academic teachers, read my books on acting, and study lines for whichever school play I was starring in. I was failing my economics class, missing often in order to complete my training at the hotel where I’d been hired. Securing a survival job as a restaurant hostess to support the pursuit of an acting career felt more important, more practical, more economical for my future than grades. 
.
.
My friends were studying for the SAT. 
I was going to be an actress.

I’d really wanted to

surprised to find me 
softer, sweeter,

imagined 
in a bedroom.

me running 
sans shoes 
through the night 
away from mosh 
pits of fantasy
disguised 
as love

my arms 
limp spaghetti

January in Texas
blanket of snow

the Texan cacti

busy street

that building
that view

city street

gone.

the Texas snow.
and the feeling.
fast as they’d come.

and she—
like out of a sad dream
an almost nightmare
a misspent 
beautiful dream
headlights 
blaring past
screaming
love would come
blinking fast
it would come 
it would come
it would come

a comet

a blizzard.
January in Texas
blanket of snow
on the Texan street
the Texan cacti
an orange tree 
.
and me alone 
with my feelings
and my friends
and my feelings
and the snow
.
and with it
I could near hear 
the radiator 
blurring steam
.
in New York
all couples
become teams
fighting the elements 
in winter
even the dead ones
rally and try again
a simple means
of survival
a heart fed
.
I could feel 
our sheets 
kicked off socks
from heat
at the foot
of a bed
our home
not my home
  anymore
.
a sleep 
like I’ve never had 
before
or again
her head 
on my
warm chest
.
busy street 
where poets 
once poet-ed 
now karaoke
and hot dogs
  yuppies
their voices 
bouncing 
off walls 
of glass
and still—
.
a place 
you could feel 
time
.
that bed
that building
that view 
of a snowblown 
city street
in morning
and—
.
gone.
.
the Texas snow.
and the feeling.
fast as they’d come.
.
and she—
like out of a sad dream
an almost nightmare
a misspent 
beautiful dream
headlights 
blaring past
screaming
love would come
blinking fast
it would come 
it would come
it would come
  again
a comet 
hurling
and for a flash
.
she was a light.

some
times
.
and this time I’d wanted to. 
I’d really wanted to 
  fuck to black
	 fuck to forgetting. 
.
I was sleeping 
with women I felt 
wanted to devour me. 
perhaps they did. 
perhaps they didn’t.
perhaps I wanted 
them to. 
.
surprised to find me 
softer, sweeter, 
than what they’d 
imagined 
in a bedroom.
.
and then the fall
and the run
me running 
sans shoes 
through the night 
away from mosh 
pits of fantasy
disguised 
as love
.
my arms 
limp spaghetti
i’d only wanted 
to be tossed 
round a room
against a wall
am I ready yet
cum till I wept
.
a life in monogamy
hasn’t worked yet
I’m not taking bets
but I might be done
.
and then the gifts
they started coming
what were they buying?
what were they silencing?
never knew one
that didn’t have 
the price tag
left on
.
I had to go
.
a blizzard.
January in Texas
blanket of snow
on the Texan street
the Texan cacti
an orange tree 
.
and me alone 
with my feelings
and my friends
and my feelings
and the snow
.
and with it
I could near hear 
the radiator 
blurring steam
.
in New York
all couples
become teams
fighting the elements 
in winter
even the dead ones
rally and try again
a simple means
of survival
a heart fed
.
I could feel 
our sheets 
kicked off socks
from heat
at the foot
of a bed
our home
not my home
  anymore
.
a sleep 
like I’ve never had 
before
or again
her head 
on my
warm chest
.
busy street 
where poets 
once poet-ed 
now karaoke
and hot dogs
  yuppies
their voices 
bouncing 
off walls 
of glass
and still—
.
a place 
you could feel 
time
.
that bed
that building
that view 
of a snowblown 
city street
in morning
and—
.
gone.
.
the Texas snow.
and the feeling.
fast as they’d come.
.
and she—
like out of a sad dream
an almost nightmare
a misspent 
beautiful dream
headlights 
blaring past
screaming
love would come
blinking fast
it would come 
it would come
it would come
  again
a comet 
hurling
and for a flash
.
she was a light.

In Austin, April is a magnificent surge. Greenery springing, as if from one of those children’s games involving linked arms, leaning back then catapulting forward at the help of sweaty teammates. 
.
Nature moves, as if with a mission to take itself back, as though we are but squatters on this land. And in truth, we are. Vines come back stronger for having survived winter. They wrap themselves around the inanimate —  ladders, wood planks, metal, plastic — de-arranging components, elements, molecules. The teamwork of trees and mushrooms. The decay repurposed as fuel. As new life. 
.
I had never witnessed a plant growing before my eyes until Texas. Trumpet vines double in size as water hits them. It’s something out of Alice’s wonderland. Plants I’d thought dead return triumphant. 
.
I had chalked up the landscape being overgrown to the people here caring more about the quality of their lives than perfectly mown lawns. Charming. Part of me moved here for the sweet relief of imperfect lawns. I now understand that Austin’s deeply rooted nature will only come back harder, stronger, faster, the more it is cut back. 
.
So what really is the bloody point of quieting what is determined to be the loudest voice in the room? And why shouldn’t it be? Nature, Gaia, Mother Earth, what is for me, synonymous with equality, with truth, with life force, with God, and most recently, despite being a descendant of Cuban Catholics, the word gay. 
Lydia and I chuckling as we bow our heads in earnest at my Texas dining table, “dear Gay….”
.
Tonight I walk past a house where children play. Chalk in the well-loved lending library. And because I am a forever child, I pull the chalk from the library to use it. I contemplate writing the word gay.

Caption : Gay things – off a prompt from @lydiagranered 📷 @adamcolemandp . In Austin, April is a magnificent surge. Greenery springing, as if from one of those children’s games involving linked arms, leaning back then catapulting forward at the help of sweaty teammates. . Nature moves, as if with a mission to take itself back, as though we are but squatters on this land. And in truth, we are. Vines come back stronger for having survived winter. They wrap themselves around the inanimate — ladders, wood planks, metal, plastic — de-arranging components, elements, molecules. The teamwork of trees and mushrooms. The decay repurposed as fuel. As new life. . I had never witnessed a plant growing before my eyes until Texas. Trumpet vines double in size as water hits them. It’s something out of Alice’s wonderland. Plants I’d thought dead return triumphant. . I had chalked up the landscape being overgrown to the people here caring more about the quality of their lives than perfectly mown lawns. Charming. Part of me moved here for the sweet relief of imperfect lawns. I now understand that Austin’s deeply rooted nature will only come back harder, stronger, faster, the more it is cut back. . So what really is the bloody point of quieting what is determined to be the loudest voice in the room? And why shouldn’t it be? Nature, Gaia, Mother Earth, what is for me, synonymous with equality, with truth, with life force, with God, and most recently, despite being a descendant of Cuban Catholics, the word gay. Lydia and I chuckling as we bow our heads in earnest at my Texas dining table, “dear Gay….” . Tonight I walk past a house where children play. Chalk in the well-loved lending library. And because I am a forever child, I pull the chalk from the library to use it. I contemplate writing the word gay. . . .

As new life. . I had never witnessed a plant growing before my eyes until Texas. Trumpet vines double in size as water hits them. It’s something out of Alice’s wonderland. Plants I’d thought dead return triumphant. . I had chalked up the landscape being overgrown to the people here caring more about the quality of their lives than perfectly mown lawns. Charming. Part of me moved here for the sweet relief of imperfect lawns. I now understand that Austin’s deeply rooted nature will only come back harder, stronger, faster, the more it is cut back. . So what really is the bloody point of quieting what is determined to be the loudest voice in the room? And why shouldn’t it be? Nature, Gaia, Mother Earth, what is for me, synonymous with equality, with truth, with life force, with God, and most recently, despite being a descendant of Cuban Catholics, the word gay. Lydia and I chuckling as we bow our heads in earnest at my Texas dining table, “dear Gay….” . Tonight I walk past a house where children play. Chalk in the well-loved lending library. And because I am a forever child, I pull the chalk from the library to use it. I contemplate writing the word gay. . . .

we’re in the elevator
falling
floors away 
from summer
.
.
in the next room, 
where September 
spins on a loom,
a half-held moon
catches our smile
.
.
sleepy-eyed,
beneath a cool sky
that starved our speech 
and fed our laughter,
we did not kiss.
.
.
in autumn, 
I break the bat
just stepping
to the plate
.
.
I have always been this way.
.
.
the air smells like beer
and wet dirt
and winter hats
and plaid shirts
and sex on first dates
.
.
Indian summer’s sweat remains.
.
.
on the phone a friend leaves me a message
“I want to be balanced and right-sized,” they say.
.
.
Yeah.
.
.
another says,
“The only expectation you can have of another adult is that they will express their wants and needs.”
.
.
another hugs me and tells me she’s just been engaged. 
a burning man proposal.
giddy and scarfing 2am pizza,
we slop up tequila
.
.
we are school children
writing desires
in one another’s diaries
fools for that warm feeling
.
.
before that
therapy,
where my therapist says,
like a Cheshire Cat, 
“it’s a good time. You feel sturdy.”
.
.
I look down at my cold feet.
I keep them moving.
.
.
Yeah.
This. 
That.
This.
.
.
A salted wound that only swimming can fix.
.
.
I am satiated by my solitude.
I am nourished by friendship.
my thirst is quenched by our art.
.
.
The worries of our world roll, 
	ache
 	pull
	at me

and / if / but

I talk to god
and listen. 
.
.
I want for nothing.
.
.
103 on a September day,
the sentiment remains—
	
	I fall 
		at my knees
 	for fall. 
.
.
for the first time
in my life
I want to fall in love
slow-ly
.
.
bite by bite
piece by piece
marked by canines—
lover’s teeth
.
.
I want to be fucked 
	reckless
right there
in the g-spot 
of my mind
and in a body
the loyal kind.
.
.
let’s get this out of the way—
.
.
I’m walking the pony 
back to the barn each night, 
I’m leaving the pen door cracked
giddy up if you need to go
.

I’m taking the long road back
to my place
where the fire’s burning
and handwritten letters 
are on the way

Jennifer Parkhill - 3 Likes - the cowlick 
on the back of my head 
is in the shape of a vortex.
a whirlpool
		yeah,
that’s the word.
.
.
I always thought 
that patch of hair 
stood up at attention 
because too many times,
I’d slept on it wet 
bent the follicles 
to sway in that direction — 
unkempt
.
.
I’ve been taming it,
the cowlick,
wetting it down 
in the bathroom mirror 
each morning for years 
before work
thought that’ll fix it
.
.
last week, I shave my head 
and find out the true shape 
of this cowlick.
 huh.
not what I’d expect.
 a whirlpool.
it’s cute, really.
.
.
my mother always said, 
from an arial view, 
the streets where I grew up 
looked like a rose 
.
.
I’d say it does look something like a bud
like the growth on the ZZ plant,
Z’s finger’s pointing to the new buds,
one by one
.
.
or like a pussy
the one I’m looking up at now
watching my girlfriend shave
the one they own
.
.
I’m sitting on the bathroom tile
playing with the dog
thinking how
becoming myself 
can feel so very pedestrian 
a pair of clippers 
like the ones we use 
to groom the pup
.
.
I’ve contemplated shaving my head
since I first saw GI Jane
and one night we just do it
no time like the present
.
.
I wept
watching years of hair 
fall to the ground
like a story
.
.
I felt like a sheep 
being sheered after winter
I felt like a mammal
and not just a girl
.
.
I never got the turns right 
on those rosebud streets
lost again, leash in hand
blankets of salty fog
.
.
I grew up here.
could I really be this dumb.
.
.
streets that curve 
and tumble you back 
in the direction from which
you’d come
.
.
but I knew, 
when I hit that blue 
horizon 
I was heading west
all roads lead 
to home
.
.
I’m watering a palm tree 
I rescued 
from a dumpster 
and it lives in my living room 
in Texas,
always looking a little lost
.
.
that first winter,
I watched those sweet palms 
die and wilt under the weight 
of snow and frost
.
.
what is a palm tree doing in Texas?

Jennifer Parkhill - 3 Likes - the cowlick 
on the back of my head 
is in the shape of a vortex.
a whirlpool
		yeah,
that’s the word.
.
.
I always thought 
that patch of hair 
stood up at attention 
because too many times,
I’d slept on it wet 
bent the follicles 
to sway in that direction — 
unkempt
.
.
I’ve been taming it,
the cowlick,
wetting it down 
in the bathroom mirror 
each morning for years 
before work
thought that’ll fix it
.
.
last week, I shave my head 
and find out the true shape 
of this cowlick.
 huh.
not what I’d expect.
 a whirlpool.
it’s cute, really.
.
.
my mother always said, 
from an arial view, 
the streets where I grew up 
looked like a rose 
.
.
I’d say it does look something like a bud
like the growth on the ZZ plant,
Z’s finger’s pointing to the new buds,
one by one
.
.
or like a pussy
the one I’m looking up at now
watching my girlfriend shave
the one they own
.
.
I’m sitting on the bathroom tile
playing with the dog
thinking how
becoming myself 
can feel so very pedestrian 
a pair of clippers 
like the ones we use 
to groom the pup
.
.
I’ve contemplated shaving my head
since I first saw GI Jane
and one night we just do it
no time like the present
.
.
I wept
watching years of hair 
fall to the ground
like a story
.
.
I felt like a sheep 
being sheered after winter
I felt like a mammal
and not just a girl
.
.
I never got the turns right 
on those rosebud streets
lost again, leash in hand
blankets of salty fog
.
.
I grew up here.
could I really be this dumb.
.
.
streets that curve 
and tumble you back 
in the direction from which
you’d come
.
.
but I knew, 
when I hit that blue 
horizon 
I was heading west
all roads lead 
to home
.
.
I’m watering a palm tree 
I rescued 
from a dumpster 
and it lives in my living room 
in Texas,
always looking a little lost
.
.
that first winter,
I watched those sweet palms 
die and wilt under the weight 
of snow and frost
.
.
what is a palm tree doing in Texas?

I’m watering a palm tree 
I rescued 
from a dumpster 
and it lives in my living room 
in Texas,
always looking a little lost

that first winter,
I watched those sweet palms 
die and wilt under the weight 
of snow and frost

what is a palm tree doing in Texas?

Jennifer Parkhill - 3 Likes - the cowlick

is in the shape of a vortex.
a whirlpool
		yeah,
that’s the word.
.

I always thought 
that patch of hair 
stood up at attention 
because too many times,
I’d slept on it wet 
bent the follicles 
to sway in that direction — 
unkempt
.
.
I’ve been taming it,
the cowlick,
wetting it down 
in the bathroom mirror 
each morning for years 
before work
thought that’ll fix it
.
.
last week, I shave my head 
and find out the true shape 
of this cowlick.
 huh.
not what I’d expect.
 a whirlpool.
it’s cute, really.
.
.
my mother always said, 
from an arial view, 
the streets where I grew up 
looked like a rose 
.
.
I’d say it does look something like a bud
like the growth on the ZZ plant,
Z’s finger’s pointing to the new buds,
one by one
.
.
or like a pussy
the one I’m looking up at now
watching my girlfriend shave
the one they own
.
.
I’m sitting on the bathroom tile
playing with the dog
thinking how
becoming myself 
can feel so very pedestrian 
a pair of clippers 
like the ones we use 
to groom the pup
.
.
I’ve contemplated shaving my head
since I first saw GI Jane
and one night we just do it
no time like the present
.
.
I wept
watching years of hair 
fall to the ground
like a story
.
.
I felt like a sheep 
being sheered after winter
I felt like a mammal
and not just a girl
.
.
I never got the turns right 
on those rosebud streets
lost again, leash in hand
blankets of salty fog
.
.
I grew up here.
could I really be this dumb.
.
.
streets that curve 
and tumble you back

Jennifer Parkhill - 3 Likes - Happy pride, queers and allies!
🏳️‍🌈🦄🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈💖✨

Another gay turn around the sun. 
This one marks 10 years out of le closet for me. 
I feel nostalgic and grateful for the entire journey, even the challenging parts — those cracked me open and gave me new eyes to see with too. They softened me, they changed my view, my purpose. May the journey continue. May we continue to stare right down the barrel of love.

Jennifer Parkhill - 3 Likes - “Honey comb. The roses I bought. Pencils I stand in line to sharpen in the portable classroom in the sixth grade. Shorts I bleed through because I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone I got my period. Because I don’t have a mother to teach me about these things. Patten leather shoes that are too small. The golden arches I ride my bike toward because I want to run away but don’t know where else to go, so I eat nuggets and ride home, handle bars sticky with sweet and sour sauce.” 
— Yellow (excerpt)

I’ll be throwing it back to adolescence on April 30th, reading some poems packed with bittersweet pubescent angst and nostalgia from my forthcoming book of poetry, Teeth. 
It’s gonna get gooey and hopefully-possibly relatable? 🙏🏼 🫣🥴

(Swipe through for cringe adolescent photos — that 🌈 bikini and yet somehow I still hadn’t figured out how queer I was lol.)

The golden arches I ride my bike toward because I want to run away but don’t know where else to go, so I eat nuggets and ride home, handle bars sticky with sweet and sour sauce.” 
— Yellow (excerpt)

I’ll be throwing it back to adolescence on April 30th, reading some poems packed with bittersweet pubescent angst and nostalgia from my forthcoming book of poetry, Teeth. 
It’s gonna get gooey and hopefully-possibly relatable? 🙏🏼 🫣🥴

(Swipe through for cringe adolescent photos — that 🌈 bikini and yet somehow I still hadn’t figured out how queer I was lol.)

Join us at 7pm on Tuesday April 30th @vintagebooksandwine for readings by @thefujikawa , @allisonpricedirector , 👋🏼, @jasminegamespoetry , @mikekpz_poetry , followed by an open mic ✍🏼 🎤 
(Link to sign up for the open mic in my bio)

See you there! 🤓💋

Jennifer Parkhill - 3 Likes - Friendly folk, @honeyandmilkfilm will be screening in ATX April 15th and NYC May 9th!

Spring, to me, will forever represent nature’s lush rebirth. As we move through April, I am flooded with memories of a particular spring in which 30  queers gathered on a female owned flower farm in the heart of Texas to bring a bittersweet story of queer love to life. 

“Have you ever pulled a vegetable directly from the ground and taken a bite?
This is queer love.”

Please enjoy these still from the film.
I hope to hug you after the screening tomorrow in ATX or in NYC in May!

Caption : Friendly folk, @honeyandmilkfilm will be screening in ATX April 15th and NYC May 9th! Spring, to me, will forever represent nature’s lush rebirth. As we move through April, I am flooded with memories of a particular spring in which 30 queers gathered on a female owned flower farm in the heart of Texas to bring a bittersweet story of queer love to life. “Have you ever pulled a vegetable directly from the ground and taken a bite? This is queer love.” Please enjoy these still from the film. I hope to hug you after the screening tomorrow in ATX or in NYC in May!

Jennifer Parkhill - 3 Likes - Tonight I look forward to being with you, right here in Austin, the birth place of this film, and to bask in the healing balm of queer community, friendship, fluidity, and the root of love, which I do believe is freedom. And I will caveat that by saying freedom which does no harm. A distinction we learn and experience together, piece by little piece. 

I dedicate this evening to the magnanimous and beloved, lost and never forgotten, Cecilia Gentili. 
May she rest in radiant peace. 

Tonight we celebrate Honey & Milk’s return to Austin at Hotel Vegas at 8pm presented by @hyperrealfilmclub screening before Under the Tuscan Sun. 
I hope to hug you there.

Much love,

And I will caveat that by saying freedom which does no harm. A distinction we learn and experience together, piece by little piece. 

I dedicate this evening to the magnanimous and beloved, lost and never forgotten, Cecilia Gentili. 
May she rest in radiant peace. 

Tonight we celebrate Honey & Milk’s return to Austin at Hotel Vegas at 8pm presented by @hyperrealfilmclub screening before Under the Tuscan Sun. 
I hope to hug you there.

Link in my bio.

Much love,
JP

I was an art-hungry kid spending my days in the aisles of the Samuel French bookstore on Sunset with my nose deep in Shanley, Rebeck, Lorca, Williams, Chekhov. And between that auditions, including the one where the woman waiting ahead of me to go into the casting office whispered into her phone, “I’m just gonna book this job,” then proceeded to slide her underwear off from beneath her skirt, wink at me while dropping them into her purse, and let out false moans of pleasure within moments of closing the casting office door behind her. 
.
.
My nights consisted of acting classes, waiting on tables, and reluctantly using fake ID’s to get into clubs where I could bump elbows with industry people, pass them my business card, and politely assuage their advances. 
.
.
I rented every movie Meryl Streep had ever done and wrote essays about them for my own pleasure. Just to quench a thirst, a need to be studious, or perhaps simply to consider myself something more than a pig on a spit for consumption. Anything to keep the flame of my intelligence, my love of stories, burning.

At school, I carried a thick book on breaking into the business of acting. I’d had my first agent at age 12, the unexpected outcome of a beauty pageant my grandmother had placed me in to distract me from my parent’s tumultuous divorce. I’d earned but two non-speaking film credits but from the POV of my 17 year-old brain, four years at a university would only stall my imminent success. None of my family had graduated college. It wasn’t a given that I would go. I chose not to try.
.
.
Until years later. 
A story for another day. 
.
.
Highlighter in hand, I snuck my walkman headphones on beneath my hoodie to drown the voices of my academic teachers, read my books on acting, and study lines for whichever school play I was starring in. I was failing my economics class, missing often in order to complete my training at the hotel where I’d been hired. Securing a survival job as a restaurant hostess to support the pursuit of an acting career felt more important, more practical, more economical for my future than grades.
