passed through the shadows
like a throat-song
unstuck
to burst & breed
dream deep
below the
garden
who's been pickin'
flowers
from the dark
behind my back?
who's burying
intentions
half-
forgotten?
tell me
I'm the only
dirt worth
thinkin' of
dissolved
in muddled twilight
held up
to seep
through skin
tell me
every truth
that you
deem possible
drink from
autumn-rich skies
a sketch
composed
in rain
subtitled: tales
from an ex-weed
choked by
roses

you make me sick. you make my stomach fold in on itself and press out against the lining of my flesh. you put lumps in my throat and you tie strings to my tear glands and tug until the world is just a panoply of blurred lines, hazy colour and bokeh.
you made me do this. you put the knife in my fingers and you told me to tear, you said you would care if i hurt myself like this. you said youd care if i opened my flesh up for you like a gift of blood and flesh and tissue. but you never really did.
i like being small, i like being the blue eyed girl sitting amidst background noise, rubber band arms holding the necks of her legs together.

PTSD
- - -
every night you scream at someone. i try to tell you they're not there; they don't exist. but you can't hear me. your body writhes like a tornado and the covers are bathed with sweat.
it must feel like blood to you. that must be why you howl yourself hoarse. why i sleep with earmuffs gripped tight and dream of you dying.
(it used to be a nightmare, but now it's more of a wish.)
- - -
you mumble to the same someone while you eat those crumbly cornflakes. something about something that i don't think you entirely understand.
i don't know why i still make you a bowl every day. you think i would learn after the thirteenth time of broom
Literature
Broken Down
She speaks only
when spoken to,
her voice then loud
sometimes, in assertion
or sometimes barely audible
in mumbled dissent.
There is no spirit muted, trapped
all too sentient in prisoning flesh.
These are but firecrackers
of a memory decomposed,
small explosions triggered
by speechless voices,
hallucinations that echo
through the spirals
of her inner ear.
