ghost Jan 2021
Life is a strangling hand
A dusty road that leaves
specks of brown dust in eyelashes
Stains on ruddy cheeks and sleeves

The past pinches like
a lobsters' black claw
The path towards the horizon
has thorns that lash like strange jaws

The now is a tide of color
washing in and out
like breath in the lungs
twisting green and quickly draught
ghost Jan 2021
Exciting morning
A true, destiny walking
out of entity.

I kept saying shh, shh, shh.
You can't make this promise,
you can't betray your heart.
I die that night. Shh.

plague &finally understand
why Italian Renaissance paintings
always have couches with

fat naked people

laying on
them

she still needs someone close
which she clearly never had
