cannibal

you.

your hair

burnt, receding, greasy.

your eyes

amber, dead,

twitching, struggling.

your mouth

snarling, fine-lined,

lying, rotting crocodile teeth.

your nose

stained white, gasping for air,

broken, sticky.

your heart

moldy, frozen,

cracked, infected,

tendrils reaching so far away,

abandoned.

your mind

overworking, snatching, selfish,

dead fingers, groping,

old wounds ripped open, dried blood,

a ghoul, cheating death,

hurting.

you're a zombie.

haunting the child inside.

your jagged fangs squelch and chew.

you've torn apart everything.

[marigoldsforher]

An Ode to N and S

curly brown hair,

a gentle touch on my arm,

cold thoughts are reheated like a microwave.

awkwardly, not just the same,

but perfectly enough to enjoy.

the scent of spicy chicken noodle soup,

or a relaxing, reassuring Shabbat dinner,

or haphazard grilled cheese at 11 pm,

fills with me with solace

and hopeful recollection

that I am safe with you.

I know for a fact

that in another life

we were lovers.

as if we aren't lovers now,

buried in each other's endless arms

each and every day.

we pull away sometimes,

but we always push back together.

we will love others

but we will still turn to each other.

we are like the tides,

our raging hearts and minds filled with

seafoam, moonlight, and love.

You guide Me.

and I'll guide You.

Forever.
