14 DAY TRIAL // Unbeknown to many of us, Kristen Stewart is quite the “artiste,” in the sense that she's not only an accomplished actor, but she's also a very deep person who needs to fill her off time by putting pen to paper and writing down her insightful thoughts for posterity.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Kristen dishes out on some of those thoughts and what her opinion on her literary efforts are. As you might have imagined, she thinks she's pretty handy with a pen and that the resulting poems are deep and insightful.
“I don't want to sound so [expletive] utterly pretentious but after I write something, I go, ‘Holy [expletive], that's crazy,’” she tells the magazine in a not-so-modest tone.
The same apparently applies to her acting “It's the same thing with acting: If I do a good scene, I'm always like, ‘Whoa, that's really dope,’” although she admits that she often finds her scenes “so embarrassing.”
The very lengthy interview also touches on a few aspects from her new modeling career which she's taken up in the wake of her acting hiatus.
Her poem, whose title is “My Heart Is A Wiffle Ball/ Freedom Pole,” was written, according to her own account, during a road trip to Texas about a year ago, after the official end to the “Twilight” saga.
Here is the poem in its entirety:
“I reared digital moonlight You read its clock, scrawled neon across that black Kismetly … ubiquitously crest fallen Thrown down to strafe your foothills …I'll suck the bones pretty. Your nature perforated the abrasive organ pumps Spray painted everything known to man, Stream rushed through and all out into Something Whilst the crackling stare down sun snuck Through our windows boarded up He hit your flint face and it sparked.
And I bellowed and you parked We reached Marfa. One honest day up on this freedom pole Devils not done digging He's speaking in tongues all along the pan handle And this pining erosion is getting dust in My eyes And I'm drunk on your morsels And so I look down the line Your every twitch hand drum salute Salutes mine …”
Give that a few reads until it sinks all the way in. Don't worry if you can't make heads or Tails of it, it's supposed to be jumbled like that because it reflects Stewart's angst.
She tell her interviewer that the poetry comes from the same place as her acting, which would explain some of her less-than-perfect roles she's done in the past.
