ce n'est pas un poème érotique ~
your cock writes
prayers in my mouth
[i would make
a deity of you]
you with your fingers
curled against my scalp,
reining my
obscene approval ~
... i want to make
sacrilegious confession
with my lips
crucified to your
blood swollen flesh,
breathe vespers
against veins
[the body of -
fuck if i'm telling you]
& lose a part of
my soul to lust ...
.
.
.
god himself
couldn't fill me
the way you would ...

werbepause ~ {PoetSpeak}
he pours it
into me
[straight]
& i become
the infamous glass
[no ice]
the rapidly emptying
bottle of goose
rolling across the
threadbare carpet
of a rent-by-the-hour,
spilling my proof
into buk-esque footprints ~
... & i have
fucked myself [raw]
straddling the rubicon
in the honest bondage
& rosary beads of
plain speak sermons,
paid tithes
in sweat
[vicariously] to ...
the sexiest male

Tír na nÓg ~ redux
your kiss is
a sinister mouthful
of spider legs
& broken glass,
our tongues like maggots
{indolent
& starving}
writhing in search
of bruised flesh,
a soft spot
in which to burrow ~
.... my lips burst
like overripe fruit,
secrete sanguine secrets
between your teeth,
fetid whispers
on opalescent wings
that take flight from
your chocolate &
scotch laced breaths ....
*
& you feed
from me
off me
{sexual decay
emotional necrosis} ...

would you like photos?...
.. the nurse asks
in room 8
on the the 3rd floor.
it is the 10th day
of the 10th month
& it may be dark
beyond the white blinds,
but i don't need
flash photography
to remember
the many shades of
dead on arrival blue
bruising her skin
she's medical waste,
the matron says
at the checkout desk
2days &
countless hours later
& they've already
incinerated biohazard bags
& never breathing babies
who aren't fit for
caskets or prayers.
i suppose we're meant...

pointless observations of meaningless things {i}
v}
the holy man & his sacred bottle of evian
can fuck off for all i care.
bless you
{like you achoo'd}
like it'd do anyone any kinda good
{iv}
i did not see
your grief then
& now it's as tho
i am witnessing
something personal
& obscene
something shameful
that i have
no business seeing
{iii}
you are more preoccupied
than i am
with her rosebud lips
in shades of cerulean,
her papyrus skin
marbled like raw beef...
... i did not look
too closely
this time

untitled ~ {to my sadist}
iii}
i find comfort in my bruised skin, answers to an
existential crisis
i've been having since the age four & started wondering
if secrets
would always weigh infinitely more than the little bones
beneath my skin.
some would think it strange how your fist against my jaw
became a safety blanket,
how i stop feeling so small & insignificant when i am
screaming in agony while you laugh...
... god, you laugh so beautifully when i suffer. if they saw
your joy
they would understand
{ii}
they never...

jellybean ~
i have contemplated
an epiphyte seed ,
a speck in an ocean
of blood & mucous
{barely
grit in my veins}
but the ripple
swells slowly
beneath the flat ~
... too subtle
to distend the calm,
the cradle of muscle
& flesh & the mute rush
of anions & cations ...
*
{dear prayer
with a pulse}
little drumbeat
rooted
in membranes
with your stem
in my heart ....
... i never thought
i would be
the soil ...

the nothing woman ~
& i
folded ripples
in white sheets,
spun sails from
dragonfly wings &
promises of
never
to find you ~
... but the trees
in your hair
were not
what they appeared
when the birds
flew away ...

disconnected thoughts ~ [//in the guise of a poem {xiv}//]
written for brenda's mental illness comp http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/forum/competitions/read/8839/#344019
years congealed
on white tiles
beneath torn nails
& shredded skin,
the world wouldn't stop
smelling of
freshly struck matches
& scorched persimmon fruit,
tobacco
still fresh on my tongue
clinging
like a stale kiss
...

nocturne {iii} ~the fragility of filipendulous moments when running with scissors
strung the darkest pieces
of myself on frayed thread,
pick-stitching the seam of
your lips in sienna
to stop moth orchids
bleeding from your tongue ~
.. they bloomed in
the back of your throat
amid rose quartz & rock
{tender fuchsia fleetings
in a flesh terrarium}
flimsy stems slinking
into soft tissue, clinging
as i did once ...
*
furtive sacraments swung
like fairy lights, spun
into your sable hair
so treacherous & still ...
... i trusted you to stow
the shiraz stained...

labyrinths ~ abstract love letters unsent [ii]
iii] blood consciousness:
i considered you a rarity when you were singular.
an idea.
intangible.
& i could not make you one of the many, could not bear
to see the pagan beauty of your face laced with pity...
... you would only pick apart my proclivities when you lay
spent across my back, looking for reason where there is none,
when all i want is the chaos under your skin to seep into my disaster.
you'd taste of sympathy & that would be my undoing.

there is no stray shaft of light piercing emotional devas, ...

cocaine {&} kerosene ~ {collaboration with SatansSperm}
i wrote heartache
in night-shades
along the curled edges
of potpourri promises
& pressed them
through your chest
so you'd feel
my pulse flit
against
your ivory cage ~
... you kept them
as millefiori motifs
in glass spheres
flawed by striations
& taper wax tears
that clung to ghosts
of waning light ...
*
...as embers fade
forlorn revelation
violate virgin sanctuaries
a pirouette macabre
like chloros's pestilence
thunderous hooves
splinter...
