The ticket seller is asleep in his cage - my room had no window, only white liquor and a monsoon - the one who loves you shows you the trees full of hooks - like the leaf-light of the darkest forest - A room full of shrunken heads - with a gravel crunch and the click of teeth - willing to stand there skeletal but proud, with tiny brown corpses littered at their feet - more a death sentence, than impediment - Footsteps on their way and the figure could be skeletal, could be gaunt, could be anybody - I could see you becoming prey to some larger insect or bird - a wildness I’ve tried to hide, but can barely contain - I’m compelled to shelter Barbies in a plastic house inside a wooden one I own - Programmed and predictable, we are dominated by prayer - Behind the curtains of an invisible world - why would all your meat, be covered by a flimsy skin coat? - reflecting the thin arms of bare trees - The flaming sky signed our names in blood - The porcelain lamp shattered in your hand, and left no doubt - hearts holler joyfully into the black earth - tucked into the endoskeleton of your former lover - White light creeps into your eyes, where nothing lives.

Sago palm by MISH



"we bleed paint like animals - ballerina pink with feline drool - boiling at the core - a powerful impression on energized receptors - campaigns of promises made with mud - The streets all feel so hopeless - every word we don’t speak burrows through our throats - Trivia demands attention as the body hangs limp - From the only slot that opens here - Little pumpkin-headed baby, toothless and hollow - Night gives no reason to let her live - The moon continues, so still - A small head broken - a rusted refrigerator shoved over a railing from the second floor - Barking dogs tied to the radiator of misery - with reams of poems - cut a slit in the neck hang them upside down - Rainbows of blood - beyond the rivers, cliffs, and tombs..."
