the Pecking Order
Bloody goddess
prom queen done wrong
your vanity's gone south
you've got nothing but your beauty
to get them to always come flocking
back to your song
So who's this new virgin,
Bloody Mary?
you chose a lamb
young and unafraid,
so carefully tailored
to not be in your way
you don't like a toy
that shines more than you-
you loathe feeling upstaged
"Ethical!" you scream
from your perch
on the rooftops
"look at me!"
gold on your wrists
to hide the blood
on your fingertips
but...

Bubble Bath
I wish I had a bathtub
one that is lovely and large
pristine and with clean
steaming water and
BUBBLES
Rose petals and of course, Rosé
a book about escaping this plane
or a heroine having her way
And I must laugh
at the frustrations
I must have
for writing a poem
about my longings
for a bubble bath
one that is lovely and large
pristine and with clean
steaming water and
BUBBLES
Rose petals and of course, Rosé
a book about escaping this plane
or a heroine having her way
And I must laugh
at the frustrations
I must have
for writing a poem
about my longings
for a bubble bath

Mourning For a Sister Lost

Navajo for "Older Sister"
This goes out to every woman who has lost another woman to the hands of cruel men
Navajo, or no. I, an outsider to the Navajo community, was raised in Arizona and befriended this wonderful young lady. I could only watch this beautiful young girl who was kept away from the rest of her people by her abusive father to include him keeping her from female family members, become a product of her hellish environment. I can't help but feel I have failed her somehow. I tried suggesting she moved away from the men who had threatened and beat her and...

Unconditional
I've loved and still I've failed
a voice still haunts me
from beyond this veil
it whispers questions
that doubt my clarity
Oh, my intentions
were they ever true?
You don't doubt my soul
not my will or strength
you forever seek
to still my woes
while I keep building walls
you keep tearing down
and still want nothing more
than to see my face;
the one beneath a mask
I keep tied in place
But I'm not perfect
and a thousand fractures
webbed themselves

Prey On Me
The towel falls
to the floor
and I step
down and down...
This water is cool
temptation turns my mind
and I become the Fool
drawn in by ruby petals
strewn across the surface
and candles casting shadows
on the walls
So lure me in
mindless trust~
vacant eyes
drawn to lust
You curl your finger
and I am summoned
so I obey, a willing slave
filled with wonder
by the simple way you
say my name
Then you prey on me
and I am filled with fire
freed, yet still tamed...

"Woke"
These asinine colonizers...
Neo liberalism is class warfare too. Just a different brand. Retrumplicans and Talibangelists are the same evil flipped on the opposite side of the same coin.
These rose quartz fucking, tie dyed, tantra peace and light dreadlock wearing white motherfuckers will call cultures who practice scaring away evil spirits insane yet purchase sage to "cleanse space of negative energy."
they'll call people who eat meat "yet to be vegans" and say we are as unattractive as people who smoke.

Doux-amer
I scrolled back months
sometime in the dawn
I wanted to find us...
Lovely, and in lust
And a gift of leather,
though missing your scent
is the only thing
that makes me
feel embraced
So I trace the lines
as I retell the story
that's starting to slip
through time
Hearts forget to race
when they start to die
I was content
before I left my high
and yes, I'm still
alright
I'm just fine

The Spirit Molecule
I saw time in many ways
took to the sky
and saw patterns
that were never the same
and they beckoned to me
they showed me the way
Love and death and life
dark and strength and light
where was this world
before, when I couldnt
open my own eyes?
I saw the earth for the first time
so many lines, so many designs
I was born, I was lost,
yet nothing was mine
I died and I returned
I was nothing, everything,
then something
I don't know
how I was so lost
before
How...

I've Seen Beasts With More Humanity
I wish I could've held you
when you stopped smiling
at the tender age of ten
wish I could tell you
there was no hell
just men who think
they control the game
I wish I could've saved you
from yourself when you bled
and stole meds from their shelf
You lost yourself
before you found yourself
wandering for too long
and longing for any help
You lost yourself
before you found yourself
it's no wonder
they're all gone
Why is it
they were never taught
you can't give up ...

the Hole In Your Chest
Explain the chasm
that lurks behind a gaze-
a hole somewhere
a wound was made,
an adult that caused
a child's empty face
A price is paid by the one
who must take the pain
a price no soul
should have to pay
and to the end of your days
nothing can soothe the ache
Oh how we try to drown
how we try to just...
let it all out
oh how we try to
~crawl~
in silence/out loud

From Clay to Art
I've made so many messes;
a child playing with clay
to mold a sense of sanity,
a moment of clarity
in this mad world
And if I am the clay in my palm
I hope I mold into something beautiful
I hope the fire can set the glaze...
All I want to be is beautiful
to every gaze
and not just the outside-
But in every way
a child playing with clay
to mold a sense of sanity,
a moment of clarity
in this mad world
And if I am the clay in my palm
I hope I mold into something beautiful
I hope the fire can set the glaze...
All I want to be is beautiful
to every gaze
and not just the outside-
But in every way

I'll Gladly Burn Vampires
I bet
you like red
because it's the color of pain
I bet
she wears red
to hide the blood
from your hands
I bet
you like red
for the violence
that runs through your head
And I bet
the red on her lips
reminds you not of sin
but the blood that will run
from the tongue
you'll cut from her face
When she speaks
when she realizes once more
she's a person and not your whore
not a toy for you to mistreat
So she bled
and you laughed
you don't love the color...
