what'll do with me
Marie-Niege Sep 2014
Courtney Love's in my lungs
screaming, was she,
"Asking for it"
was she asking for it
was she asking for it
what did she ******* say

you don't need me anymore
Marie-Niege Sep 2014
I'm not completely sane
but then neither are you.

(but will you) love me
in pigeon's pose when
my tummy rolls over
like rice paddies and
the dimples in my
thighs are as moon
craters on that 27th
spoonful of peanut
butter, orbit on my hips
squeeze the fat beneath
my arms to relieve all
your stress, when I'm
singing zee avi in the
shower and you realize
I once told you a choir
teacher said I was a high
soprano but my voice is
so low on that ceiling
mingling with the steam
in the silver vents, don't you
know that

heat

rises?
(c) Brooke Otto 2014

a love poem for myself.

he used to tell me
I had the saddest
eyes, as though
eyes could ever
truly be happy.
eyes don't have emotions,
humans do.
my eyes feel
nothing
but the tears
that you instill.

I can't stop thinking
body, then title.
