happy chaos

 like girls crowded in a bathroom

lips

i hate when my lips are chapped

(i'd let you kiss them dry though)

"How quietly we endure all that falls upon us"

~

Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

moving forward

years pass like faces in a crowded street,

blurry eyes and shoulders streaming past in threads

numbers slip through desperate fingers,

troubled water running over tangled moss and riverbed stones

tired feet trudging on and on,

they only know the one direction

quotes i like [8]

"Menstruation is the only blood that is not born from violence,

yet it's the one that disgusts you the most."

There are orange needles under my feet

And towering sequoia branches

Like deep green ladders to a foggy sky

There is solitude and there is companionship

In coastal mist

It holds my hand and hugs the mammoth trunks

There are redwoods that form a metropolis

Spindly like Gaea's fingers reaching out of damp soil

She wears fairy rings like plated gold

There is a melancholy in these woods

It runs in the little forest creeks

And crashes in cliffside falls into the deep blue of the Pacific

love, loss, and madness

trigger warning: mild body horror, blood/gore

When you left you reached down my throat,

Wrenched my heart through my pleading teeth.

Pieces catch like rubbery fish on ivory hooks.

I'm still chewing on cardiac muscle,

Suckling old blood congealed like blackberry jelly.

My blood streams down your fingers,

Fresh like crushed pomegranate.

Dark as death.

Dark as I descend.

Rib cage stage swallowing my final act.

The ring master waves gnarled arms.

Curtains like quivering gills, draw closed.

I sit cross-legged in a supple red cage,

Licking viscera off my palms. 

Still pining for the sting of your fist stretching my lips,

For the bitter taste of your departing fingers on my tongue.

Albert Camus

gaze

eyes eyes over mine

rake across my body lines

pocket full of pearly masks

paint it wear it when they ask

silky gauze clinging in threads

follow me to bed

than face all the ages of this world alone."
