on pride and phobia

gleeful reflex, starts with the grabbing of a hand, a human boomerang. dance it out like a ping-pong. spin that psychedelic map on the back of your soul. what a lovely example you set. hence, I follow your intuition, not mine. get swallowed by quicksand & it chews me nice and clean. chuckle in the ear of death, make its day make its day while the owls hum their lullabies somewhere deep in a forest that I would love to call home. neon lights, stay. no one likes to be alone. make me sober in your alcoholic embrace please

through the door

They watched him, anxiously; smiling so intently he could feel their eyes cutting the shapes of desire into his skin. But he shook away their distracting love and folded his limbs into perfect forms like an opening flower, closing his eyes. The old man cocked his head, as sweet and wrinkled as an ancient apple, and said nothing as he watched the boy breathing and sighing and falling away into the eternal net of theoretical maxims that could, theoretically, save him. Halfway through a praying moment he stood up, his old bones weighted with memories of being so young, and snapped his fingers with a brittle sound. The boy rose with the fluidit

It hung to the middle of her back, always loose and always messed by the wind or my hands or her spontaneous dancing. And she had this spray of freckles across her nose that she always hated but I loved because after staring at them for a moment my eyes would rise to meet hers. Big gorgeous eyes that could never decide whether to be blue or green, framed between smudged-mascara lashes. And her arms were littered with scars she got by falling out of a tree when
