My Only Answer (or New Beginnings)
~One sweet death with me tonight~
He be like
lighting to my system, insides mangled, bones cut and contorted
pain as beautiful as leaves
singing and twisted in the rain
under the spotlight, hanging tonight so close to, the earth
Blue Moon
He be like
frightening after the pulsating rhythm, has ended, he wipes my blood
off him one calculated move
practice no doubt made perfect, possibly
Hunter’s Moon
I be like
icing to his fucked up day, to his fucked up life, being dark in a world full
Of light
And this white dress, pressed
tightly to this black skin, reminds him too much of evenings
sweating under
Blood Moon
And Lord I be like crying
my insides dying, crushed sunflowers under, his feet, and he say he love me
bulging eyes and twisted mouth
toes sweeping light hum of mist, my only answer matching his bliss
New Moon Daughter
