fluttered steps
follow me follow me down the path to diamond pentagons and glowing spheres we travel we’ve been traveling so far but that road leads to somewhere it takes so long it has been years my feet are trembling yet there you go – go off fluttering

red, ripe lips
Ripe ripe, red lips The flush of blood that accompanies your skin a chambered globose perfectly bruised ripened for the picking I only miss you when I see you like this With fibers creasing into your folds lips slack with nothing to show but red ravenous servility

falling, fallen
You taste better without nourishment numb buzzing and filling my veins confusing reality with delusions How long will it be until you miss me until you call on me again beckon me with clear vials- -misshapen canteens misconstrued truths- It doesn’t take much to fall into submission

unraveled
Is it possible- darling is it possible for this thread to disappear? How is it that this crimson burns obsidian, tearing hatred into our hearts. We are already miles apart. There is nothing left that could happen, yet why is it, we are straying further away from each other. I feel as if I’m…
