I won't keep you long but I promise you'll like it.
Blacked out again, unsurprisingly, swallowing the room. Spinning in a lucid dream, blessed to consume. Breaking into. Ash shadows drill bit chest I am not your savior I am a suitcase bomb I only devour breathing fire and I will apologize to no one for doing what I said I would.

Another Blood Pact
I was right to run away and lock the door on you after I passed out in the kitchen and I wish I woulda known then. Broken bird who listens like chimes. The way you surrendered your neck twice first a lover then a sacrifice. People will tell you what they are, you just never said battleground.

Raze Your Bridges
Learn to love the fall, to disappear like a radical ghost shaking chains as a forgotten name. Make your nests in piles of broken mirror glass, court heartbreak like a 19th century candlelit lover. Smile at the No, bring it into your chest, breathe it in warm. Collapse the roof, blow out the window, cradle your shattered legs and kiss them like sleeping children when they try to drag your broken body from the burning building. And get your blood all over everything.

Love Letter to Failure
I open pre-approved credit cards like love letters. Growling under bedsheets. A twitching right eye inside of blue screens. I think my bones are going deaf. My insides are lava My outsides are lava I am fractured and glowing I am killing natives I am slowly swallowing. Quiet not calm boiling.

Breaking Open
I was born in soft chaos with the mystery womanhood clean on my lips. I am just like every other girl and even if you can’t understand it you can’t take it away from us. You are right to be afraid.

Not Like Other Girls
Gravity pulls water onto the floor to trace my skin like a lover. The steamed mirror can be anyone if you’re not a biased audience and I paste faces on bodies for spare minutes. My hands are loaded guns you have to get comfortable with on parade day. This is not a love story it is a witch hunt and Gravity has been the only thing that has ever caught me.

Regardless
For the days when you're moving so slow and the universe is moving so fast.

Pluto Never Even Made It Around the Sun Once
I say "I forgive you" But knowing you want me when I don't want you is the sweetest land-mine I have ever buried.

Talk to me like Minimum wage. Three kids in different grades happy to get sneakers on Christmas. Two to a bed until puberty hoping bus fare doesn’t go up. Talk to me like I’m sorry I can’t hear you I’m scared that I’m pregnant and what my boyfriend will do because I don’t want to marry him but if you’re pregnant you keep it and you marry him. Talk to me like Can I help you? I’ll trade you for some tuition money. Talk to me like Let me go check in the back My brother’s in jail again because he broke into our house to steal money and he’s high again and it’s his fault but it’s Dad’s fault for leaving. Talk to me like I’m sorry I apologize What can I do Here’s a discount Like she cheated Like he’s dead Like I’m you in my shoes.
