Claire Mar 2020

Bloated veins of caramelized blood
Stuck in molasses and gingerbread mud.
Gluttonous pain and syrupy pride
Saccharine tears from eyes swollen wide.

Its hard to describe the insatiable ache of a high blood sugar

Sweethearts

Sweethearts

Golden honey
Drip down my spine
Love me
Until your breath sweetens what’s left of mine

Candle Mask

Candle Mask

Yellow wax
drips down
a melted face
from sunken eyes
across a softened nose
onto smoldering lips
