in perfect divinity, we became

i made a shrine for you out of my orgasms, dedicated to the pleasure you reminded my body of. i glued the pieces of paper made out of your mother’s abhorrence into a papier-mâché model that looks like the contempt that crawls out of the crevices in my mouth made from the jagged bones of my broken jaw. when you built me a temple, i refused to climb the steps hand-carved of young jade. “are you afraid of heights or afraid of falling?” you asked me until I became a ghost of my past. instead, I found comfort in my cage, teething at the gold-plated bars that threatened to asphyxiate me until I peaked— gnashing and grinding my rotting gums with every feeble, half-assed, inconsequential apology that oozed from between my thighs where your head lay, the culprit. i wrote novels about the way you clawed my chest open to pump my heart beating until it remembered the taste of its blood again but none of the words sounded fair when my lips molded around them to speak your love of me into

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

Lilium

To the wilting lilies on my kitchen counter: I am reluctant to throw you out. You bloomed within a day. Well, some of you. I snipped off your blood orange anthers with the kitchen shears, coating my fingertips with pollen before it could dust the slate and stain my clothes. Hand jobs are always easier to clean up. I forgot to water you once. I'm sorry. In the mornings I plucked chlorophyll-starved leaves from the countertop and tossed them in the rubbish bin. Your support system fell one by one, even as you still grew and opened up to the world. Your petals began to turn limp and brown. I cut away the flowers that were no longer beautifu

Breakfast

You told me she had died in a hospital bed With her glasses on So that she could see Death properly And I picked away at my breakfast, Which was pancakes and strawberries, Trying to imagine Her squinting ahead at Him With her dying eyesight The pancakes were dry and store-bought And my plate was a pool of cold syrup And flavorless, Half-eaten strawberries When I had finished, And my hands were stained with the sweet blood And you took my place, Picking away at soggy crumbs.

Stories of feelings with no names - Revision

i. The feeling you get the day after sending a letter, and you know there is no possible way that the recipient has received your message, let alone formulated time to write a reply. You still get just a little hopeful when you hear the mailman drive by. You rush out to the postbox a little too quickly and are disappointed by the pile of free coupons, bills, charity flyers, and a late Christmas card from your late Grandma Moses. ii. You lost your voice one day. You woke up to a hollow echo in the base your throat and knew you’d lost something special before you’d ever had a chance to say anything worthwhile. Y

Cliches I Have Dated

i. Anna collected stardust like pennies, except pennies are worth something. ii. Claire had ink running through her veins; dead, from an unsterilized needle. iii. Robin had birdbones strung together on windchimes. iv. Sarah’s eyes were always to the sky, and never on me. v. Lizbeth took my breath away with every punch to the stomach. vi. Rosalie had too many things in her ribcage; emotional adrenaline triggered her arrhythmia. vii. Emily left me for a boy with starrier freckles. viii. I am one cat away from a stereotype, or one girl closer to a happy ending.

the third time i call, you pick up and i say

yesterday i walked past the diner where we fell in love, and i thought i saw the waitress wave at me as i went by and i realized that the most terrible thing in the whole world would be you rereading all those text messages i sent you when i was stupid in love. those weren’t meant for you, okay, those were for the boy who split his milkshake with me and held my hand through an entire season of Friends and sat with me in silence on dirty rooftops while we smoked stolen cigarettes. look, i didn’t even mean to call the first time, but i was drunk and high and cold and my old favorite song came on the radio and i remembered how much

sepulcher

your body is jerusalem, he’ll tell you coveted first, then plundered. – you’re my backwater bedroom martyr, he’ll tell you as he nails your wrists to bedposts, seizes your tongue like a white flag, pulls stones from your parapets – little sister, i’ll tell you the children’s crusade is lost: and you’ll kneel at his sword and know you were always his to take
