Honey
Amanda N Skaggs Mar 2020
Feed my greed
green paper fees
show me what is feels like to stare at the world from above it
that space between in a room full of friendly faces
words of affirmation
play pretend at love
I have a knack for numbing
ask me what it's worth
with my hands stuck in my pockets
and my heart locked up with keys lost
next to the innocence I hate to set free
but the American Dream was calling
like a coward I fell in step
to join the herd of herds of herding
to a place where money grows on trees
as apples rot upon the ground
where the sky is full of blackness
the air we breath is stale
maybe with our heads stuck in the clouds
we will forget to be hungry
hang our hats up
honey I'm home.

Undertow
Amanda N Skaggs Feb 2020
Undertow
Hues of blues stretch out endlessly until they plunge into the dark depths she has no light left to explore.
It starts gentally...so quietly that at first she doesn't notice
For fishes of many colors disrupt her vision and euphoria clouds her mind.
Ever more the tides tug at her clumsy feet as she swims out further towards the dissipearing sun.
Overcome with exhaustion, the ocean's deathly touches start to caress her thighs,
akin to a lover and she surrenders to waters as if they were sheets.
The waves begin to surround her head crowning her the queen of misery.
Eyes open, lungs empty, but she savors the silence.
Holes in her soul are filled with water,
watered down,
and bleeding into blurs,
She takes her first and final breath.

AM
Amanda N Skaggs Feb 2020
AM
Fragmentation, we see perspective pieces of partioned existence
Departilization, show me what's buried deeper in the soild soul
Fermentation, drunk on the desires of my shaking breath
I hate this case that holds me.
Ivory sheets pulled taught over bones and memories
Don't run away
Intensity is what you asked for
Burning,
Inhaled,
Shakes,
On the edge of my
Tip of tongue
Let's wrestle with destiny
What is my name?
What was this first light to enter my eyes?
I
Am.
