to sleep and scratches the window
with branches like tongues warning
me of the sun. In the summertime
she drops her sour fruit that spoil in
the heat and covers herself with
blossoming ovaries— every honeybee
drunk on her absinthe. Her sinewy
branches hang with a certain fulsome
weight and in the slightest breeze her
dragonfly leaves quiver to some
tumultuous inner fire.
Prostitute she struggles from the hardwood like a creamy stallionProstitute by ~intercostal
drowning in a raging surf. her limbs
the appendages of a white crab spider sprawl bent,
slender supple bones. her eyes
caked on fingernails caked on like dried blood caked
onto her fleshy thighs. her eyes
are wooden chambers locked stone hollow, key swallowed,

grey darkly lined rolling heads of thunder.
heavy heads of golden knots ripple down like
teeth and crack the stalk, egret birds and crows aflock.
strong, silver, slivered lightning enlivens a
sinewy coral line lithe like twine; thunder keeps in time.
half lumps lulling loosely (half digested rats
settle in tract) slithering into wilting corn sacks.
the first rain ravages the field reeking dust, pools
into corn husks, steeps a cornsnake coiled coral rust.

From dark to light, the most desirable
transition of all. I love the imagery in this.
It's like
a poem for terrible people. i want to write a poem about primrosesa poem for terrible people. by ~estallidos
and how i am not a terrible person.
-
i am disordered but not disorderly. i am broken up.
i think nice thoughts like "streetlight" and "linens,"
and is there an instruction guide on happiness?
i could write one for you.
step one, paint your eyes cobalt blue.
step two, hang fireworks from coat hangers.
step three, turn into a dandelion. blow away.
my heart tries to escape from my throat. okay,
i am guilty in ways that you cannot tell anyone,
ever, not even imaginary best friends. or real ones.
or myself. freud says i am an iceberg, but i don't
know if he means i am full of repressed though
