#stalking
I keep finding sunflowers; someone keeps putting them on my porch
I can't see them, but I swear I see an owl perched
It stares at night, but I don't think that's the only one watching
In the mornings, I see 9 sunflowers, rotting
They always smell more like metal
maybe from the blood on its petals
It's signed by the same person, K. H
I've never known someone with that name
I crouched down to grab them and feel this tingling on me
I really wish I didn't live in a birch forest, but I don't think I'll ever be free
of this feeling

i watch you counting yourself out
courting little pets of body-parts
putting pennies on the trinket shelf
talking with wending wordage
about those gruff fellows
who've been pig-holing about your dwelling
that day you manage a back window
and escape
masquerade yourself as a gentleman
but they sniff at your aromas
these men in crude season
they circle you hinge-hipping
as you fleet the roads and fields
and evade into the dappling woods
"come on out we have you surrounded"
(you say they say)
you stay crossed legged a monk among trees
(these pleasing defenders)
you take off your dress and string it
from one of these trees
you dole yourself out
little pets for the undergrowth
you offer a curled shrew
from the space your kneecap once
occupied
you droop your warm left breast
and drop a beast from that cove
(a plump vole clambers fresh and
disorientated)
you plug one arm into loose soil
and the fingers snake root
separation at the elbow
and branches sprig out
both your thighs animate as fox cubs
your ***** leaves from between
and slinks under some ivy
your hair fiddles loose and travels off
in currents of breeze
before flitting into little finches
your back crumples with fungal looseness
your head weighs low
and the jaw lumps off
shuffling undecided on its form
your forehead bows to kiss the earth
and your face scatters a gaiety of insects and spores
all arts patterned about
your pile continues in this mattering manner
collapsing efficiently
you've canonized in nature
now you’re abroad mature and freed
to tell your friend this story
a spirit without brag of these neat powers
one with mother glory

The whole world was gray
November’s first snowy day
Not a single winter racquet
And in the midst of the white
And the foggiest sight
I saw a man in a dark blue jacket.
I’d seen him before
And that I swore
As he was a classmate of mine
In past Fall’s red hue
I remember seeing the blue
Of the man’s dark jacket’s shine
i always saw him in the hall
he wasn’t particularly tall
but wherever i was, he was too
and when i saw him at lunch
my friend told me his hunch:
“i think that blue jacket man might like you”
i admired the admiration
but felt no butterfly-in-stomach sensation
so maybe i had to go and pack it
then the following saturday
when from my classes i was away
i saw the man in the dark blue jacket
he had tried to sit next to me in class
and i told my friends to ask
if i could sit further away from the bloke
in the corners of my eye he was there
How much longer could I bear?
the bare blue of his deep colored coat
so when i was walking home one afternoon
i hadn’t tried to get home too soon
The days only becoming hazier
The winds were speeding fast
A man behind me tried to walk past
I saw the dark blue of his blazer.
he turned to look at me
stopped, starred to see
and began to walk slowly behind
i started sprinting to my abode
snow now down rode
the blue jacket man on my mind
his pace sped up too
and if only i knew
how no one would believe me
was he stalking?
should i start talking?
the blue jacket man’s spree
So I didn’t tell them the truth
I knew their words wouldn’t soothe
His eyes always on me
In the park he was there
Lurking like a ******* nightmare
His aura seemed aquamarine-y
I see him in my room
I know I shouldn’t assume
That that blue jacket is his
How is he everywhere?
You gave me a scare
Now go back to your biz !
He is in my screams.
He is in my dreams.
Blue jacket man, get out!
He is in my eyes
He is in my lies
Flow out with the water spout
He is in my lungs
I’m speaking in tongues
And as my eyes begin to fade
I see a smearing blue
Across my vacant view
That jacket of his facade
That dark blue.
Blue.
blue.

The tendons strained as muscles tensed
Hind legs wobbled in impatient anticipation
The prey grazed slowly upon springs bounty
A twig snapped sounding natures alarm
Crows called cooing caws as they took wing
A ****** predicting the coming violence
The die having been cast elicited a roar
Potential energy unleashed sprang an ambush
Teeth and claws punctured and lacerated flesh
Jaws clenched throat choking life from limb
Latent spasms birthed pleasurable moans
The irony of blood tasted copper coins
As stipes became lost in red matted fur
The **** draining the thrill of the hunt
While the tiger ate his fill

it's been two years-
since i've crushed on you,
since you've become one of my biggest fears
and how my heart flutters
at the sight of you walking by.
each scroll on social media
makes me sigh
because i'm ******* hopeless
when it comes to you.

Open to the mesmerizing sight of love, I would fervently pursue the captivating idea all on my own, like a lone wolf relentlessly hunting down its prey. With a predatory grace, I would skillfully stalk you, my innocent deer,—
In this unspoken forest of the night's serenade, where the moonlight casts ethereal shadows upon the earth, I find myself compelled to howl at the songs of their mysterious silhouettes. With an uncontainable excitement building within me, I carry a devilish grin that tugs at the corners of my lips, anticipating the moment when I can unleash a torrent of words, forming a sentence that will not only capture your attention but also leave an indelible impression on your soul.
My words, like white-water rapids crashing against the rocks, will bite down on your ear with a playful yet alluring intensity. They will weave sentences that touch the deepest recesses of your mind, evoking emotions that you never knew existed within you. Like a gentle caress that ignites a fire, my words will tickle your pleasure, awakening desires that have long been dormant.
With every beat of my heart, I am driven to explore the uncharted territories of love with you. Together, we will delve into the depths of passion, traversing treacherous landscapes of vulnerability and trust. Your heart will become my sanctuary, a place where our love can flourish and grow, protected by the fierce and unwavering loyalty of a wolf...
your gate wolf, forever vigilant in protecting the sanctity of our shared connection.

she is inescapable
fringe coefficient
a strange perfume tonight
lips to the phone
he took her on a laptronica trip
bitters and Absolut and pistachio
listening to the frightful sections of an unused movie score
and playing a new game
—studies in paralysis
no sympathy, no violins
just musette and drums
just an avalanche of images
frame-by-frame

Michael, why are you playing so f-king hard to get?
I etched my number into your car, so you won't forget it.
I stalked you day and night just to prove my undying interest.
Did you get the shower pix of you, I intend to post on Pinterest?
I climbed in through your skylight twice, I bet you didn’t know.
I hid in your workplace mensroom, but alas you never showed.
Michael dear, I’m getting vexed, didn’t you see my million texts?
I know that you’ve been busy - that relationships aren’t always easy.
Michael, don’t be capricious, satisfy my sordid misses.
You simply have to wave to me - I’m out here in the bushes.

So much pain weighing down heavy heart
Wish I would let sadness go
Clinging to my skin like static
Stalking like own shadow

Shame stalks me like shadows
On my heels
Put myself through so much torture
Must like the way it feels
Blame you for depression
I know that isn't true
Because I already struggled
Before I lost you
Words you whispered walk through skull
Play phrases on repeat
Conscious of fact I'll never hear them again
Whimper in defeat
In midst of motionless self-pity
Chaos indetectably brews
Conflicted between sticking up for myself
Or withstanding more mistakes I'll excuse
A stillness appeared a moment
As quickly as arrived it is gone
Built on instability
Cannot trust pavement I tread upon
Rippling across distance
Wind melodic
Moving
Thin
Fabric of time and space silky soft
Not quite as soft as your skin
A trail of kisses leads to
waistband
By my moseying mouth
In turn undress me til body is bare
Slowly work your **** sin south
Bars of piano play symphonies
Resounding from the middle of my mind
Waves rolling in and out with the current
Notes are far more tender and kind
I let myself bask in bittersweet glow
Melting due to warmth of total bliss
Voice has never sounded so smooth
Collision never like this
My being joining in rhythm
Tangling until we are one
We remain connected by flesh
Some time after we are done
Eventually guilt emerges
Torn between directions
Why must head and my heart
Inhabit different sections?
I long to be with you
I'm afraid as soon as you know I care
Feelings will fade when I close my eyes
Open them and again you won't be there

Waking up to locked doors and closed shades
Walking while observing faces, you fade
I go through my day with you on my mind
Although we're never face to face, I know you're never far behind
Go home with knife in hand
Just in case it happens again
Lock myself up, shut myself in get ready for another night
Where I see your shadow dance across my walls and my fear blinds my sight
Frozen in pain
of the memories that remain
Try to sleep just to wake and do it all again tomorrow even though I pretend
That im alright, and safe, and ok knowing your search never ends.

From
the veil of
trees, I can
peer into
your window,
and count
the family,
imagine them
gone to bed,
dreaming of blue,
"underwater, unaware."
Those summer
evaporations tickle
my skin,
bring on such
an observational
itch:
how you,
freshly out
of the pool,
bloomed
brightly on
Betamax.

i snail in your wake
a ringing skim of perforations and pikes
taking readings
your signals
manage agitated faults in me
leased opiates
and a sensory quake
you dropped a hair tie
i form limb-like mucous spits
i join them on the far side of the object
membrane surrounds and i engulf the collected
this is much encouragement
i may increase my demands of you
i trail after you still
sensitive to the tokens of love
you patter behind for me
sensitive to the coding
in the minute alterations you make
of your daily routine

grow a beard
two times a year.
let your hair grow down to your shoulders
and then cut it.
take selfies at goodwill,
wear the same seven outfits.
never smile, it draws
attention :)
stay at home
like a ship at the dock,
and observe seashells
from the deck, never straying far...
download a dating app
to keep tabs on the ex
for you know not
the day or hour.
is there something important
you've been ignorant of
your whole life?
wonder what the cops think
when you pass them on the street,
now that they know who you are.
wonder if
the Man might motion
to **** us all then run
to their bunkers without
a second thought.
ablute truth and wonder
if its an illusion
or if you are subject
to global delusion.
come on now,
don't fake it;
don't say you
can't take it.

"Could you spare a moment?
I need to talk to you,
it's important."
"Not right now,
I'm busy.
Can we talk later?"
"Oh, okay."
And we never talk.

Hanging 'round your place
Days keep passing.
Sitting here for weeks
But don't worry.
Wanted some closure
Where are you going?
Hope you'll come back
Yearning for you.
Please, just stop and listen
Before the sun sets.
Needed some closure
Where are you going?
Can't you see I'm hurting
Just make me happy.
You don't care about me
Waiting here for you.
Give me some closure
Where are you going?

At a party, a gym,
anywhere the lighting is dim.
Along the shore, down in the subway,
during an overnight stay.
On Christmas morning,
by the fire where she's warming...
She is the hunted.
Amidst war, conflict, and revolution,
in the confessional during absolution.
For retribution or initiation,
after a movie premiere's celebration.
In the pool, the jacuzzi,
when drugged and woozy...
She is the hunted.
When did the female species
become a personal plaything?
An implicit right of lords, masters, and kings?
A gratification tool to sadists & seducers,
ego-fed athletes, even film producers?
She is the hunted...
in this cathedral of misogyny,
an unholy ground where hands
can never come clean.
At what age, Malusha, did your little boy
become a ******
