I fear I have met
the echo of a god,
listless, but divine.

lemon lies and lavender love
lovely and lascivious
with lolling grace and languid liquidity
slaking lust
longing
licking
lemon lies and lavender love

She dances
moonsoaked and citrine
with pale paper skin,
smooth palms open toward the sky
and from her desert-kissed lips
spill wildflower prayers.

She knows she is but
 a fleeting impression 
against the canvas of the night
so she betrays all her silver secrets
to the all too eager wind
who whisks them away
to some dusky autumnal den.

I have stolen
the last
of the milk

And now
you will probably
have to eat
your cereal dry

So sorry
my oreos
were thirsty
imitation poetry for class
Virginia Eden Mar 2020
How out of tune I am,
like a guitar that has gone so long unplayed
that the strings have lost their tautness
and begun to sing
in discordant, bellied wails.

Yesterday
I fell asleep in math class
And had a daydream about a cake
Topped with white frosting
And maraschino cherries.

Nuestra Señora de la Santa Muerte sonríe
Su dientes se hacen de oro
Y sus labios de rubíes
Lleva un collar de espinas y abalorios de madera
Y una corona de huesos agrietados y los rayos del sol
Ella es una fantasma
creada por el miedo y, posiblemente, la lujuria
de los hombres
Finge que no oye los aullidos de humanidad  
Ha saboreado las estrellas
Y piensa que son como sal y azúcar
Los otros dioses comen y miran,
pero no dicen nada.
