Her and higher education:

Those narrow walls

That building
with too many stares

All the talk about climbing
up the flagpole

Just to see
what goes up

And what comes down

It was so much easier
when they just wanted

To carry her books
Note: The placement of stares, and not stairs, is intentional. It is not a typo.

Sorry, mom says I can’t
kiss you - even with grape,
Lysol, safety lipstick  =/

Harsh pandemic facts
and parents stand against us.
What a hazardous waste!
toxins dampen endorphins passions - lets face it, it's simply not going to happen  =/

How many people have I known;
taking them into me,
speaking that universal, ancient language
of intimate bodies.
All the beds I've slept in,
all the hands that have felt me move
as I dance the age old dance.

My journey finally came to its bitter end
I fell to the ground and deteriorated
I slipped deep into restfulness of soul
Surprisingly up from my after pile
A beautiful fungus forms
My wormed over residual self
From the ashes reborn
This is my new breath!
Order out of my Chaos

What makes me

A woman,

Is it something that you wanted
To take from me?
Something that you wanted
To maime; break me
And make from me

A woman.

You wanted to
Make me.
Never even realizing
How much
You made me.
You maimed me,
Into this;

A woman.

By way of your gaze,
I only know now,
It was something
You wanted
To take from me.
Deform me
And make from me

A woman.

In your mind.
Instead of a sister,
A daughter,
A child.
You made me
Into this;

A woman.

Cursed by my ***,
The fires of your ****
Burned me.
Charred me.
From my ashes
And in your mind
You made of me

A woman.

All I wanted to be
Was a sister.
All I wanted to be
Was a daughter.
All I wanted to be
Was a child.
But you
Sexualized me.
Fetishized me.
Fantasize about
Being inside me;

A woman.

Never realizing that
You are already
Inside.
Infecting all my
Darkest places.
Taking and taking
And taking from me.
Making from me
A fantasy,

A woman.

An object of lust,
An affliction.
I don't want to be

A woman

Anymore.

We crowd into a darkness of neon and strobe lights, sweating grasping thrusting jumping,
Deafened; ears by bass and spirits by alcohol
As of a single mind, like the maggot, we wriggle and crawl  blindly back to the darkness from whence we came-

But I dream

Of not seeing you

In a faraway forest,
Touched and untouchable,
Naked and triumphant,
Wild and free.

Dancing

In a sunbeam

A shaft of light
Penetrating the throbbing verdant green canopy,
Shining brighter for the privilege of caressing your cheek
As the wind plays with your hair,
And the earth trembles under your toes,
Eyes bright, soul soaring,
Enraptured by the music of the wild god of the world,
Ears filled with laughter at the very notion

That you could ever be anything less

Than a goddess

The resurrection
ugliest shame
Written in the dark videos hidden on your phone

Do you know.... ?
Did you even think?

Normally covered Flesh now undulating like octopus limbs locked in water

“Without you, he could never ****.” You think.
He might see it if you’re not watchful of your desperate hatch.


Send it.
Send it.  

***** bigger at an angle.
Face smoother than before

*** for the future
For the thought of having a lifelong enemy
A L W A Y S
Too **** to touch
2 **** 2 touch

I’m an Opera singer
PLACED In an Iron Maiden
Singing in wails for my husband.

Each night a neon green eye passes it’s scanner on my unraveling body and says;

“Not yet”
