Alyssa Aug 2019
i'm spinning apart
the atoms of my body reversing polarity
working up a particle war
between my colliding halves
Alyssa Aug 2019
teñida de rojo llegas a casa
todas las noches, todas las mañanas
de agua salada creció un río en mi alma
y un sepulcro debajo de tu cama
a la hora de dormir cuento puñaladas
y me arrulla el crujir de tu espina fracturada
el eco reverbera en el cañón de mis entrañas
en mis sueños con tus últimas palabras
niña ponte tu falda favorita
y suelta a tu hermana
no le temas a la noche
que muerta ya no pasa nada.
Alyssa Jul 2019
unconsummated snow
melting in the sun
choreographing blooming bulbs
sown below the sheets
warm flowering fantasies
with nectar gushing down
the freckled blossoms of my dreams
craving hands fluttering south
like migrating butterflies
Alyssa Jul 2019
resisting the fading sky
half dressed — my brain
struggles to concede
a vacation to the mind
courting the still midnight
hoping to show for dawn
Alyssa Jun 2019
divine morning spark
the sun, remotely afire
Alyssa May 2019
no clemency for sinners
rattles in the womb
a modern crucifixion
on wrong you didn't do
life is penitence
so long as isn't yours
Alyssa May 2019
long shadow in the corner
haunting presence, ghastly threat
dark replicating sketch
of my mind's delirious dread
siphoning out the terror
that stirs inside my head
