I Loved Her
The flawless façade was still
flawless. Glossy, cruel, but
genuinely luminous. We a
couple in effort. Please
the slightest silver touch.
This woman was my
lenient snarl, luminous
in red. Gosh.
Harris, Charlaine. Definitely Dead. Ace, 2006, p 213.

Sometimes when i ask those dangerous questions i can see the pain brimming underneath your blonde lashes. A pain that crushes your heart into producing tears that constantly dwell in your tear ducts. Yet those tears are too afraid of the unknown terrains of the outside world to dare to venture down your beautiful face.

the patter of rain on metal roofs drowns out the sound of my heels, my uneven step as I limp away from the room of neon lights. shivers wrack my body and the water soaks my dress and turns my black hair to ink. the drum of the rain drops conceals my step, conceals yours too. I barely heard you until you picked me up. my fists crashed into you and you just took it and forced my head up, forced my gaze into the line of yours. my hands slowed and I collapsed into you, my best friend, my savior. you held me like a child in your two warm arms all the way back to your apartment and laid me on a bed, I’m not sure whose. the next thing I remember was you making coffee in the morning, and giving me a large cup and three ibuprofen. I was in your grey sweatpants and an old band tshirt from the first concert we went to. I would have dreamed about that time for hours, but your gentle hand brought my mind back to reality. it was in my hair, pulling me close to you. as our lips touch, just lightly, I realized that maybe you were my prince all along.
no more skinny love//e.g.

Poem: The Pendulum Of Society
Poem: The Pendulum Of Society
We trusted you with power, We gave you the keys to our cells, And you’ve murdered that trust, Set out to murder us. Now you shriek, And shirk the responsibility. Your actions, we’ve seen them, They’ve come back to haunt you. With every shot fired, You look like the criminal; With every shot fired, You’ll settle the score. When the smoke clears, You’ll still be in charge, Pretending to run…

Impossible
The former Viking couldn’t
simply bargain for the lamest
invention: a child of the night.
He had the gall to love
a friend, to untell
what happens
to vampires. To clean.

Second Thoughts
I stop
to think. The queen
trailing. I take off
the vampire face.
Knowing the routine,
I included a straight
pin. The queen
would just be
punch-drunk,
irresistible. It was
the fairy blood.

“We Love Her Teeth”
Teeth. More teeth. Fangs
plentiful-though-crooked.
Queen queen
queen queen
Queen. When she died, wore
her eyelash-scented neck.

At the End of It
My life was true.
I was fancy.
Gosh.
Think about it.

I Hid the Diamond Exactly There
Stretched bleeding
the lips sealed
popped and resealed
The tampon a little
tube of superglue
quite bare in the courtyard
I glided out of
some safe hideaway

Jade-Figured
Let it slip, goblin girl
Jade killed her
Jade figured
the reverse. Jade
shuddered for sure.
Desire Jade quietly.
I began to tell her.
I began to tell her
quietly: Jade desire
for sure shuddered.
Jade, the reverse
figured. Jade killed her.
Jade, goblin girl,
let it slip.

Without You I’d Eat It All Probably Though
whipped reckless
butterscotch
stuck stuck
in questing
silence us
subdued us
confused as
melted butter
fangs out I
triggered pretty
secret pinpricks
a rare new safety
we leaned
against each other

The Plan
Drained, bound with silver,
the sun silver, possessed
the queen chuckled.
I knew heartbreak, weak.
I bargained. Agreed. We
would drain the best night,
flee the days’ ash. I had
happened brightly.

Evaluation
I pulled that chemical snarl out
I don’t have health insurance
We bent gentle
We were feeling buried
proportional to worse
This ordeal accelerated
our questions. We take
prisoners tonight.

Oh
A faint spatter of hope
I realized I was drinking
blood. I hated
change. The night
diminished to dried
clots of blue.
Eyes loud
shock.

Naked Hunger
People told her to slap
or snatch control
with unnecessary
astonishment. We
didn’t. The warning
friend caught flaring
blood, a clean-suffering
vampire too busy to
filter the grave.

I Was Paying Attention
Will you not meet her
changed? I feel so
so top teeth
secret fffft!
the queen a recollection
bigger, minute, a secret
existence by the fire.
She promised and
promised to understand
that cold bite of hell.
This monologue a village.
Harris, Charlaine. Definitely Dead. Ace, 2006, p 236.
