Volcanic

Volcanic.Sporadic eruptions, ashes in your eyes.The heat is seductive, it licks your flesh, it drags you in.Volcanic. From the inside,an Armageddon,but in fact it isjust another tragedy,just another passing day. You grab your limericks,your quotes and rhymes,your inspirational speeches and lullabies,you cling on them as you are swallowed by Pompeii. Bent over, clutching your chest,frozen […]

honeydewed center evergreen stemmed

i am curled up like a question mark around your pair of feet on the tile floor;  one ear is pressed down listening to floor eight’s myriad of awkward folk songs.  and then when you scratch my neck i become like greenery.  warmth similar to spring sun, starts to swirl into my pores and when […]

childish

As the past tense becomes deeper the stench becomes wiser,there is a movement, a realizationof the moving, breathing, fucking, thinking, selfishly naïve, childish—you are a child,daunting pile of sewage, moldy cardboard, seeping batteries, dented motherboards,opaque plastic bags, rotten milk, sizzling waste that is behind me.I take a stomp forward, I hold hands with the wise […]

Desperate attempts at Cementing the evergreen rainforest

I rip the staples out of my forearm, with the aggressive energy of a hungry and callous vampire,a narcissistic power-hungry vampire, taking its first bite,—pinning her down and entering her arched neck,with sloppy lust and gluttonous over-slurp. The staples shine in my hand and I feel the hazy embrace of endorphins I confuse for him. My eyes are squinted […]

don’t choke

my puckered lips are raised revealing rotting teeth clenching onto a rusted bullet. just the tip protrudes outwards an actualized remnant of first confessions, “Father, I have sinned…“ be careful– don’t choke. my eyebrows arch, i lean forward, my shirt droops, my cleavage shows and i spit. 

equally dystopian and vaginal endings 001

Pale cacti green is still on my cheek from this morning’s hurl. Disgust disguised as rage disguised as victimization splattered in the bowl. When I feel its fingertips awkwardly, casually petting my extraterrestrial shellfish, I can’t deny the rupture. Opaque slime. Thick slime. My face is crusted. My eyes jar open when I hear the […]

Like my anxious mother’s clutch, tightly my eyes are closed. My consciousness has a brief moment of pure morbid blackness, But then evergreen shines through– I look out to the green green sea of the Amazon– my lungs breath in the oxidating dew– and my fresh wings twitch, but none of this compares to you.  […]

Following the dark scary black orb is a sultry red orb, calm green orb, and funny yellow orb!

After months of quivering my mouth gains enough composure to jab,“GROW UP.”It tastes different then the flavors that I usually suck on–raspberry lollypops, metal poles,and the man that’ll never love me. I know they heard mebecause their wounded face is stuck in a sequence of blinks–I guess I do have the power to mutilate. Hazel […]

mom and dad

You whisper ‘I love you’,but I see beaming,steel-plate shine of medieval armor,something more. I’m just a timid sapling underneath an oak treeone branch is raised in the sunlight,providing shade for ladybugs and earthworms–I like to watch them squirm deep in the dirt, coddling their larvae. And I droopbecause a butterfly lands on me and I’m […]
