Literature Text

You took my heart
and skimmed it
across the water.

When I asked why
you said,

"Because dear,
love is just a game."

i would do anything to get you to love yourself

i know your type, i’ve seen them around here before, browsing through my poems like you’re flipping through vinyl records, trying to find that one disc you were listening to the first time he leaned over and kissed you. the only way you’ll ever be able to love yourself is if he leans over and kisses you again, is if someone tells you about the seven wonders of your soul, if someone sits down and writes a list of all your beautiful fault lines that you’ve never been able to forgive. you want to love yourself and you want to be loved, but i know it’s hard to believe that you’re holy, when your hands still s

sepulcher

your body is jerusalem, he’ll tell you coveted first, then plundered. – you’re my backwater bedroom martyr, he’ll tell you as he nails your wrists to bedposts, seizes your tongue like a white flag, pulls stones from your parapets – little sister, i’ll tell you the children’s crusade is lost: and you’ll kneel at his sword and know you were always his to take

My Life Story Isn't A Poem

This is what it feels like to crumble down in a blazing squall. You are muffled gunshots wrecking yourself in high speed collision with his brass armor. You compress every eruption by choking ashes and swallowing shatter glasses because god forbid you are a frostbitten girl with hitched breath and messed up mascara and god forbid you are explosive and god forbid you crumble down because no, you are an inspiration and you are clenched fist and sculpted chest, you are concrete and you are statue, you are the ice cold dusk and YOU DON

Why Books Suck

Let me write you a story of all you want to hear. Of intercourse and romance, drugs and beer. Of simple plots and story devices, where no thinking is required. I'll even make it into a series, everything you've desired. Pick it up in the middle, why not? It's all the same. So-and-so get together, there's sex on every page. It's the best story in the world, and it only took me six days! Don't worry about morals, there's none to be learned. If you hate life-long lessons, then enjoy every word. The characters are flat with the basic of descriptions, with no voice of their own. If one dies, no tears will be shed, there's another just arou

to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub.

i. to the woman who drowned herself in the bathtub: in the magazine I own that published your story, they blurred out the crime scene photographs, erasing your face and the full curves of your breasts. some part of me wonders if you would have wanted this, or if you would have liked for the public to see you in your final moments, half-soaked in grey-looking water, your hair in strings, glued to the porcelain, eyes closed and mouth gaping, no breath stirring, no bubbles rising. ii. sometimes when I look into the depths of my bathroom sink, I hear your voice (or what I imagine it to be-- after all, we never met). you sit on the edge

fragrances

dotted eyesight, autumn flies right past. bokeh closing in, the leaves are in the grass. bit about the waist, sash shifted by an eyelash laced. hither only evermore in tired grace. crash entirely adorned, falling fast the digits twirl to horns and brass. forms compact and glaze. grant us stasis in this effervescent graciousness, this epicentric gradient, this everlasting glade.

hope county

i. (amazing grace, how sweet) you rode in on a seraphim, wrath with the white horse champing. o, bit more than could chew. i knew you were coming, was told by the very one that brought you here. to me, to me, to my own gate. ii. (the sound that saved a wretch) you will try but i cannot be blinded, cannot be quiet, cannot be taken. no bit tongue here, grace only grows. like bliss, ivying up from eden through the rotors, like the heel on the head of the snake. holy, holy, the angel falls, like me. iii. (i once was) lost and hunted, slow as sin blooms in the enraged, you will be brought low. the other horses we will break, like the sea

the weight of the world

i. an entire universe curtsies and entreats my wander, guides me to nebulae still forming. here in the bight my stars grow, eager to fill these waters with brilliance and overwhelming good. oh everyone should feel this, a galaxy begging my discovery. little cove, you've been dear but now i must help these shimmers align and reward everyone that i love. ii. didn't take long for the depth to swallow. dire jaws of the earth smack grotesquely and spare no innocence. all of the shine's off the appalachians, now only rot. all i wanted to do was exude a radiance, trust in orbits and plot a course in the heavens. i am left heaving and knowing tha
