POETRY



  • FLESH EATS FLESH

  • blisters pinching the back of her ankles,

    her and her knees tucked tightly together

    the edge of a lake where wet stones vanish

    beneath the filmy breaths and ruddy skin—

    a refresh of air hits her exposed nape

    two reanimated bodies adrift

    clots in eachothers veins, halting the flow

    one reaches her hands in her open wound

    pulls her apart— a welcome invasion

    gasping—fluttering—stretching—consuming

    girl swallows girl, she (one) becomes her (two)


  • remember that?

  • when i was thirteen i broke my ankle falling down a ditch - to this day the only bone i've ever broken - and i wasn't found until a few hours later when a cyclist in a neon helmet caught me whispering an on-the-fly eulogy in my own ready-made grave. they say black holes sing the same way birds and whales do - maybe even the same song. well, i shifted around too much in the dirt and my ankle didn't heal right, and it's never been the same - i swear i can hear it singing in the night, when theres not enough noise to drown it out.


  • moving people

  • i spent a few years getting nosebleeds

    on my homework

    and being mistaken for anybodies sister

    (so long as their hair was pale and dirty)

    and a few more years cracking bones and crying out (i lived on hands and knees swaddled in muddy misery)

    these recent years are stretching over the rest

    a time capsule of internal interims bubbling into correctedness

    fleeting & feeling & fleeing


  • its all about the chase

  • i am forever chasing my heart

    encircling like a flock of vultures

    ready to pick meat from bone

    and yet unable to sink my teeth in

    when i finally catch it

    i'll squeeze and squeeze until every drop of

    red-soaked love is mine


  • communication

  • i chewed my nails to the hilt and

    cleaved through the days with winded lungs

    and airtight mugs. i spoke to a wiry

    transmission tower, an angel,

    crackling and grinning in the new moonlit

    sky. blinded by fog and screaming crickets

    and the blood on my hands and knees,

    we spoke different languages but i wanted

    to learn
