I devoured your eyes
your swiveling nuisances
they peak into my belly
dropping to rest in the
curve
of my thighs

Sliding by a hip bone while i spit
into a cup
splash into my stomach acid
causing an abrupt

End

To the pilgrim songs
the sing as the ascend
i gently stick my finger down
and up they come again

syrup tones slip from your
puckered bud of a mouth
oil from your eyes staining,
not quite reaching your rusty smile
tendons creak as your teeth
grind
forcing little things to trust you
"come lie down a while...

they fluttter
smile
sparkle
the stained glasss
window gleams in response
two of them
mirrroring
floating gently down
resting on sillls
made of freckles

*Meggie

chewing diamonds
intestines are stalagmites of ice
ribs are crystals
i shatter my fingernails
shoving them under the
ridges of rock that is my
purple
frozen
corpse
