17/NB/CO I have begun to blur
Crush my rotten teeth inside out. The skin on my cheek melting onto my thumb. It's inside fuses and combines until stuck, so much so that I could not move anymore. Simply by lowering my jaw, my teeth would latch onto my flesh, chewing away my feminine face and the yellowing fat on its sides. I eat myself raw 'till I'm left inside out. And in my wake rests nothing more than the bone of my arms and jaw, set slack into a lazy, satisfied smile. Languid is the grease that stains my neck, what's left of it, that is. My skin is tight around my muscles, like the saran wrap placed firmly over the meal to protect it from further contamination. And my flesh? My flesh is the nourishment that prepared itself as it dies, the sustenance of the soil that one day may swallow me and all my body has to offer. I am prey and only that to the one thing we don't think to be afraid of. But I do. I think of it. And it knows that I do. The soil can feel my fear every time I'm near. The roots within it reach out to me to me to ease my pain, so that when I die they are prepared to gift me my last warm embrace. And when that happens, my tears will leave me once more but this time with a purpose: To water the plants.

decay as creation, decay as a promise of life.
I wish you didn't care about me so it would be easier to leave you. If only I were the person you didn't remember, didn't worry about If only you had let me go a long time ago, I could let go of you too.

god is my mom
I melt off the fat of my arms and drink it in front of me, the grease sticking to my gums My teeth are bleeding, but it's not blood. It's the liquid of my muscle tissue, breaking down as I speak. I glide my hand across my thigh and with it goes my flesh, as easily as it would if a knife were to run it's edge through my pores At the end of my days, I'll chew on my own teeth My gums won't even fight my fingers as they pull each tooth out They'll crush under the roof of my mouth and I'll smile once I've finished my meal. Who knew it would be so easy to complete me?

I dream of autosarcophagy
I wish that I didn't have to worry about me appearing on your screen three years from today, Your fingers gliding across my cheek on a picture of my face You'll remember a little girl laughing and preaching Believing in god just as much as she believed in you And you'll feel that same love that you did on that hot summer day But you'll also remember the shame and the guilt that little girl held and feel pity, knowing that her eyes show that same state. I wish you didn't have to remember that in the first place. I wish you never knew me at all.

Forget me
Crack open my ribs and rip out my lungs, pull out my intestines and maybe take a bite- or two! Consume me so you can finally know me, comprehend my essence and see me as I am- Flesh and nothing more.

Crack me open!!!
I laugh and smile My teeth rot inside my mouth My stomach ****** in to the highest degree What if I missed you? Would you christen me? Your blessings mixed with curses spilling from my lips I do not deserve your forgiveness Please **** me, my tongue will act as a landing strip for the poison you'll pour down my throat A poison of my own invention My own hands squeezing my eyes for witnessing what I've done.

There is no redemption in my reflection
Leo el mensaje dos veces Arcilla en mis manos Manchando el teléfono Tal como las palabras, esparciendo por la pantalla. "Si tuviera con que.." Repito las palabras familiares.. Yo tenía once años cuando pensé lo mismo. Si solo te pudiera hablar Realmente hablar Libremente Sin el miedo que no te entendiera Y sin la certeza que tu no me entendieras a mi. Me odio. Odio las partes de mi que vienen de ti- de ustedes. He pasado mi vida manchada. Me odio. Odio que las únicas cualidades que puedo absorber son las malas Odio que solo tengo el cerebro para aprender de malos ejemplos Odio que después de 17 años, no me puedo dejar de mentir No me puedo dejar de decir que soy buena persona Aunque yo sepa que vengo de ti. Si solo pudiéramos entendernos. Si solo pudiera encontrar el amor que yo no siento. Te entiendo. Te entiendo. Si solo pudieras ver que te entiendo, que somos iguales. Yo también no me soporto. Yo también me odio. Yo también me siento tan mal que si tuviera con que ya lo hubiera terminado todo.

"Si tuviera con que, ya lo hubiera terminado todo."
Filthy and gross, Sweaty, hot But, oh, so slow. Breathy whispers Warm chests and warm embraces Curved necks Hair sticking to flesh Teeth grazing Secret laughs and red faces Soft smiles Leaving traces.. I possess a desire deeper than that of your skin, I want to run my tongue between each of your ribs Just to witness the parting of your lips.

It's a little disgusting.
They stand in their good shoes and formal clothes The children are distracted and so am I I stare at the exit sign in front of me that's glowing green We are all asked to stand and the music begins Everyone starts to sing My lips stay closed This is just a building These are just people We are not chosen We are not special There is nothing in front of us as we kneel We sing to nothing We cry to nothing I weep only to me.

People stand in a church
La piel que hábito Se me está empezando a perecer a la tuya O será simplemente que he confundido tu alma con la mía? Tus labios con los míos? Te derrites en mi Mis dedos se pegan a los tuyos Ya ni recuerdo mi nombre pero siempre voy a recordar tu piel y tu la mía. Que más unido que nosotras? De esto consiste nuestra fusión El nexo de nuestro ****
