tonight I ask myself:
where are you going with all these names
in your pockets? syllables that taste
unauthentic in the desperate American
mouth.
repression is a series of images
golden streetlights
blinking
pedantically
earthbound angels breathing
flame, starving hands speaking
in tongues, glazed eyes
asking are you fucking okay
pale skin becoming moonlight,
reflecting and refracting and
the quiet understatement
of listless
lips.
mutual poison.

Paper-Thin Promises
the first time I caught sight of your
glistening, marble eyes,
I decided you disgust me.
I hate you the way I hate perfection:
merciless, like the snap of mantis jaws.
every fact of you is pretentious,
held high like you raise a middle finger.
You, the artist, always sculpting things,
tried to squeeze my malleable heart like white clay
and stash it in your pocket to rattle with stones.
paint me an unflinching self portrait, my dear:
this skyscraper of a boy shaking with anticipation
to build and destroy, build and destroy.
you sink in tooth and talon at first mention of beauty,
love-biting Aphrodite as though you were equals.
you're a statu

things that fall apart
2:36, new york city, i can
imagine you
looking out your window,
watching the cars pass by instead of the waves, and
something isn't right, because there's ocean in your blood and
i anchor you.
love,
you still believe in the girl i used to be, but
she's been gone longer than this white sky summer.

she never carried enough oil
to keep her own life burning

repression is a series of images
This whole first section completely captured me, I think this one is by far my favorite of yours so far
The imagery is just fantastic! You should definitely write more like this, It has such an impact on the reader.. well, at least for me it did. reflecting and refracting - Clever wording, this line runs together so smoothly and gives it such a pretty feel. Pretty words with a darker aftertaste, my favorite :3
