Katherine’s Mind

Excerpts from my notes app


Old Church Pew

The summer of scrabble and sunshine showers brought
Cold brew, and road trips, and you
I can still see us there, giggling like girls
Singing hymns in the old church pew.

We pass notes and whispers,
Bread, wine
We’re sisters 
Singing hymns in the old church pew 

The clock has marched on some
I can still hear those hymns sung
Between giggles in the old church pew

a poem for summer 2024

About Me

Thanks for stopping by! Chances are, I already know you, or we’re about to know each other really well. My name is Katherine Novakovich and, for better or for worse, you’re about to catch a glimpse of my mind. I’m a student at Northwestern University studying literature, education, history, and Classics, and trying my hardest to realize life while I live it–every, every minute.

These posts are primarily ramblings from my head that I had to write down before they drove me crazy, but I hope you find them as enrapturing as I have. Not everything posted here is perfectly polished, nor is it set in stone, but my thoughts aren’t either (and I think that’s okay!). I appreciate you taking the time to read parts of my inner monologue, and I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on my thoughts and opinions if you’d be willing. Let’s learn from each other!
