saltwater sting
back to the basics in nature feet deep in a cold path on a warm spring night. up to my ankles, the waves pull me in and push me out. exfoliating with wet sand the grains imbed into every open cut only washed out with salt water legs shake with the sting. I can't claim to be clean but something in me feels cleansed.

The Fallen Deer Winslow Homer 1892
Fawn response
Floorboards creak and eggshells crack under my feet. one wrong step and I can't turn back what if I say the wrong thing and you'll hate me. if my spine grows too strong I backtrack. retreating into the grass frozen for a second like a dear in headlights. licking the dents of the car that hit me so it does not get mad. if I try to stand up for myself and in defence bite back all backbone grown in starts to retract when your teeth are bared I've done it again, shown an undesirable emotion do you hate me? when you use my name it makes me scared. no no, it doesn't matter water under the bridge. I'll say whatever pleases fawn for your favour if it will fix any rift that you caused. but it was my fault for reacting to who cut me first with your claws.

Sinner
Jesus on the cross saw all the sins of humanity every crime committed in passion or in pain
Jesus saw me thousands of years on committing sins in passion committing crime in pain
He saw everything I've done and what I'll do and He still chose to die
maybe that means I am worth something to someone after all

I just can't get it out of my head. like a church bell ringing. I could've given you salvation and I would've taken you in sin
you were my salvation and sin

Abstract painting by Shirley Johnson. Acrylic and dyes on paper
hickeys linger under my skin like mould. spreading obscenities through my body. in the mornings I can't breathe. the ghost of both hands crush me. suffocating, spotting every wall on my body.

poetic parallels
I try to find poetry in the parallels
he wrote 'I love you more than I can say' you wrote ' I love you more than you could know'
something is there. poetic parallels, deeper meanings I just cannot put my finger on it

suffering through the lens of social media
I'm not an office siren with doe eyes and Bayonetta glasses. I'm not early 2000's fox or deer or bunny pretty not serving black cat energy or subway/red dress girl confidence my hair isn't old money dark coquette cottagecore light academia. tonight's girl dinner is fingers and empty stomach bile so I can try to be skinty girl core in my healthy girl fruit smoothie gymshark era but instead, I'm in my bed rotting era not me being depressed that's so not giving clean girl core time for sad girl Sylvia Plath summer

Body
I'm not slender-framed, my body takes up too much space. how can I change? why can't I change? fat face is too oval and round, not a single attractive feature to be found. am I pretty now? why am I not pretty now? I don't want to roll over and give up dress on, makeup done, getting drunk in the club but I can't so I crawl deeper under covers no one look at me
it's too embarrased to be seen

Resting, Antonio Mancini 1887
my teeth rot in the bed I lay in pressure sores skin fused from my thighs to my soles when those teeth fall out along with hairs of tinsel grey I store them, adore them hoping when I rot and fall the same I am too picked up, adored and stored safe

In my head, I make up scenarios that always make me hurt.
even quietly, alone to myself, I cannot imagine being loved

Eve
I too, like EveΒ  was tricked withΒ tempting whispers to drive my divine teeth into bitter sweetness unbeknownst to the devil in disguise's tongue in my ear young and naive to the consequences and what this means going forward for my humanity

Cavern
you will never find a vacancy past the boarded-up entrance. no pink lush supple skin, but a black hole that rots wood to the touch. an empty decaying cavern too narrow to navigate without guidance. cobwebbed-filled womb, and expired eggs. surrounding flora hides any approach, a sign for the most not welcome. do not come any closer do not disturb a cavity that wishes to remain untouched by man
