Laced with delicate chains, like web
wee diamonds abound—
the fair witch stares through me
anticipating the usual:

under the skull
there lie the monsters// in memories, alabaster fingertips dipped in papercuts,
shivering over duplicitous piano keys
& smears of blood
there lies my great patience
in the soulless quiet
threads of thin fate trickling

Chronically Ill
Shame decorates my face
like henna &
bitterness poisons my blood
the pressure is sometimes
Inexplicable but always fucking
detestable
When I reflect on my inner world
& how it has not
changed from this sparkling fantasy
to what it’s really supposed to be
The reality is that
I am running mazes constantly
Constantly
How plain can it get?
My music bursts the eardrums. . .
it furls the tongue ///
& I would never wish this on Anyone

One and Two
You and I
Agape statues
entwined/fortified
in grip
A pair of twins emulating
unconditional devotion
the gods hang their heads
for they know such love
cannot end
with Death

Pathos
Thermal transactions &
flesh to flesh couplings
amidst a frozen body
Mine//
Silent, still, frostbit
Somehow, some way,
not a limb has melted
& despite the flame of life
Raging, surrounding
this saccharine morgue
the lips are purple
eyes as blue
as my skin

No Rest for the…
Insomnia/decrepit feeble
Insomnia
Can somebody please
put me out of my misery
please (put me to sleep)
My mind,
I wonder of its lately damage
I wonder if the scars have managed
To grow
It keeps me awake, you know
It keeps
My eyes
Wide
Open
–LM
Sanative
There is always something left
to be desired
I remain alight
Aflame/ slowdancing to your choir
& in the silence of snowfall
cresting a dark angel’s wingspan
pleading to the multiverse
for fates helping hand
I’ve broken so many promises
I don’t think I’ve left one to stand
Can we just pretend I never made a single [one]
Can’t we just pretend
Again
