25 i am in love with my misfortune | / / Instagram: lakinoceanriver
I am nature. I am tidal waves. I am a doe surrounded in a flowered clearing. I am a pack of vicious, snarling dogs. I am fear. I am always reacting with flight. I am an Arctic freeze. I am a ***** in heat. I am thawed. I am flood. I am the wood of a madman’s arc. I am what brought you here. I am what rots away.

Your dress was plum; although, my fantasies remember Maroon. Dancing in God’s house, you moved like scripta, and I burned like the sinner’s hands. Had you blushed near me again, I was going to hold it against myself. Thrice removed (grief-stricken) and held against him, I am empty of you. But not yet extinguished from your singe of interest, of your reading me like The Price of Salt. Wondering, suppose I call, if your arrival would be the difference of a few vowels. Divine intervention, master of my curiosity, I spend my evenings drunk on forbidden fruits. Pardon my chaos talking in triangles– of lust’s longing in color– our tortured poet already said it best.

Untitled (How Could I?)
poetry is a business with finger-snap appraisals that thrives on how much I hate myself

phoenix: become ashes to rise
silver spoons singe privilege hungry, wolves steal copper for the thief's wife and their sons 24k gold in her eyes, attracting common men-- all fools.

faith-based metal
brought bones to a gun fight, cartilage and cartridges. / Does the rope around my ankles make me look fat?

the k nine & its teeth agree that tender meat is better raw. a land under one primal god- his face slipped into ***** hands; folded in grocery lines. at a 24/7 gas station buying a carton of a mother's hard work cheaper by the dozen but i can't sell mine; **** this ****** biology it makes for another product taxed and builds another landfill. I'm stocked with candies i didn't want to buy myself. It happened two nights ago by myself in bare sunlight; an ugly mess a day can make. unaware of myself the gawking something about a man and those repetitive hungry eyes. where have i seen those hungry eyes? the family dinner of twenty seventeen and the serialization of a girl and her father and then every day after. straw berry kool aid will never be the same: nostalgia is not who she used to be. my ex boyfriend says he can't feel sympathy for the opposite *** because he isn't a woman & that's why he's a ****** and life ***** me over

stream of consciousness pt.1
congestion of a lung- the left one that he can live without; sans the pareidolia, what is this organic machine? maybe a fool weakened by failure of finding the force in front of him. having waited this millenium after Archimedes, subtraction has become the reaper of the living man: one who doesn’t need his eyes to find his feet wet from Styx.

a living man?
it doesn't make any sense. look at her anatomy, for example- he still can't understand it.
