July 19th – Corrosion in Armor: How I Survived the Wolf Inside Me

The Dark Crush: A Poem of Contradiction and Obsession

Teeth SurrenderingContinue reading “Pigment Alignment: A Celebration of Our Colors”

Stone and Ashes: How You Haunt Me

Soul is sequestered. Hanging fruit in a forest of giants. Praying for atonement or holy alliance. Molding my bones. Soul seller, solely uncensored. Sling to be highest bidder, sold to Goliath.

Again, and Again: A Poem of Repetition and Resignation

Again I hear footsteps awaken the creaks in the floor Again. Who the fuck’s at the door? Nightstand machete laid neatly in drawer. Revolver ‘neath queen mattress, in case of a quarrel- But- There’s nothing. Just repentance, contempt, intentions dissolved. Gunpowder, protein drinks, and penniless thoughts. Could’ve sworn there was something. Apparently not. Hear aContinue reading “Again, and Again: A Poem of Repetition and Resignation”
