the tired wrapped my bones
in sparkle ice
and finger frost
Tag: body (Page 1 of 3)
I love myself
most, naked
it’s when I dress myself
I feel pretense
scars write
themselves
between breasts
with red ink
trembling accuracy
words that spent tears
like fortune
and I felt the decay
with teeth
saliva crust and blood
looking after me
as no human ever had
I’m greedy for trees,
river water,
the wind’s kiss
on places of my body
only nature’s been
heart-high
beat skips
breath in stitches
sky glitter tossed
from
smoking cannons
pressed
my heart
boom
fire powder
cracked whip
bending me back
waves
my heart is electric
medicine
drips from it
breath lost
put away
safely kept
my lungs
catch a break
before the wave comes
my chest opens
revealing ripe heart
hemorrhaging love
blood near his feet
the sound of coconuts falling
