New Zealander All I can promise you is inconsistency.
Excellency exuding from the straightness of her spine. Black hair, black clothes, gold jewellery; the feminine divine. She gets called intimidating by those with lesser style. She'll put your photo on her altar, cast a spell to make you smile. A true sight to behold: a woman in her power. Winking, laughing, spinning; behind each ear, a flower. She'll bless you with her loving if you're open to receive. Bend to show devotion and she'll meet you on her knees. Evil lives inside her but she chooses to abstain. Says morality's in equal parts between the heart and brain. Cross her once, repent, and if you're lucky you'll be pardoned. But twice – you'll be the offering of a ritual in her garden.

Between.
"I feel like I haven't done my best with you and I" Unsure if this was Confession or Apology or Promise I agreed anyway "Like sexually, I feel like I haven't put in my all" I never knew Submissive Until a skinny boy with burns all down his chest Put his hands Around my throat "I just think it can't happen just because an opportunity opens" Doesn't he know I don't pass up chances Time is a ticking bomb Plus who knows How long We will both want to do this "Better luck next time" Ignite me again

The Boy with the Time Bomb Tattoo.

Decapitation.
Our ******* in black bags Smelling of coffee Recycling bin filled with more liquor bottles than anyone else on the street Today I realised How long We have taken pride in trash

Triviality.
You caressed my ******* sneakily slipping fingers beneath my sternum to stroke the thumping valves of my most important ***** Suddenly your grip tightened heart ripped through my ribs to stick in your pocket hanging halfway out like some sort of sick ******* keychain Arteries attach us to each other ever since

Cardiac.
Skin cracks White rivers A delta on the tip of my tongue Let the words flow I expand I grow In every direction Until impossibility pulls me back I have long ago learned That pushing the limits means pains This is not my concern All I worry about now is Truth and growth and flow

Nile.
The world is melting The delicate curve of her spine Death by abundance Her arms outspread What we need most to live will be our demise The longing in her eyes turns to fear Rising higher each turn of the tides A last reach to escape She falls We float The earth as we know it is gone

Sinking//Weightless
Don't say I am confusing Don't make your indecision my fault You are a boy Chest hair does not make you a man And I have gardens growing In the palms of my hands You know It takes time to grow I am slow I am stone You hammered me Expecting me to shatter But smart girls carve themselves Out of diamonds Garnets Rubies Stop pretending as if you've broken something You barely scratched the surface Simply clouded it with your breath (It was probably time for a polish anyway Thanks for the reminder) Tomorrow I will shine I am stone You will not erode me Nose, fingers, ears Cold to the touch Shivers through my shoulders Do not ask if I'm okay. Do not assess the fullness of my schedule Do not keep the news from me Because I'm "too busy" You are a coward and I am empowered Your judgement is wrecked If you truly think you have that affect Stop trying to make your weakness look like mine I am stone Stop apologising Thinking I'll be empty now All that's empty Is your words I'm solid the whole way through Your weak little lungs could not Blow me down You wish you were the Big Bad Wolf The previous was a stick figure And the one before Had hair like hay I am brick I am stone So huff and puff away

All for it.
Skim reading Your skin Reading My lips In this house I am suffocated Could not have been more glad For you to take away what little air Was left in my lungs Clamp me down With the lightest brush of your lips You retract I remain pinned in place.
