Chemtrails poke holes through my stomach
Blood drips from my esophagus
Pet names carve my aorta
My veins tie knots in my wrist
Steady,
I sink in this strange abyss.


-Melanie Munoz

Pouring myself over you
Enfolding in this desolate place some call love
Gold dew drips from the likeness of your skin
And our candled fingertips flow eagerly

-Melanie Munoz

Anxious cries of smelly people
Screeching sighs of city trams
Rats and mice spinning their webs
Those cracks of sulfur scams

-Melanie Munoz

You look for me in crowded places
Our eyes meet and we lock embraces
These hearts collide amongst these spaces
Your light green eyes, my soul appraises

Melanie Munoz

My head hurts and my stomach aches
The will it takes to seize the day,
Will cease
It all withers away.

-Melanie Munoz

I look at planes and wonder what keeps them in the sky.
I hold your warm face and feel love in your eyes.
I hold babies and wonder who makes them so kind.
Since there is a God do you think he reply’s?
I’d change for you about a billion times,
You listen to me even when I don’t rhyme.

-Melanie Munoz

Pastel sky’s and whistling trees
My disconnect and memories
