2019 is like this
I need a savior lord
knows I need a slick
gin and tonic to slide smoothly
down my throat vape cigarettes through a blue filtered pen
could trade places with sweet-at-home wives instead I
grind over and over but
all I really want is a cat
on my lap as I listen to the night
owl as I listen to the sharp cracks
in the fire when the logs pop and watch
the sparks fly out like shooting
stars I am a mother / a workhorse / the under-dog
I, the ample giver
caretaker
a getter
not a lover (……..well maybe sometimes)
I fold the sheets sloppily and I think
fuck it
Gods of a bone head part 5
Woke up 3:38am with night terrors
what will happen when I can truly sleep soundly?
I’ll be dead and just won’t wake up
I have no problems
I have so many problems
which one will murder me?
which one problem is my friend in disguise as a hacker / as a malignant / as a hex…?
the days in and days out, I cannot undo
I am in the middle of re-wiring myself
and I will wire straight into hell
scorch / burn me fiercely
charred meat
that still walks and talks and fucks
yet is a child living in the head of a dead
adult
still attempting to dream
yearning to dream
fuck out of time
Epic Wretch
I think I will stick around
I wanna see who my son brings home
who he will love I want to see
what my daughter’s hair looks like
when she is sixteen and stunning
want to hear how the cardinal singing
outside my bedroom window sounds
to my ears at fifty
want to see if the world truly ends
and if my bag of bones will withstand
Sarcophagus
When I was drowning and you pushed my head down deeper
you said pain and fear exit the body at the exact climax
of life into death…….I fell into a pit
lay fetal in deadness for days
naked
flies buzzed around my pus infected sores
depositing larvae into my eyes
I could not see
it was black as fuck
you were laughing……I was writhing
I grasped your coat sleeve begged you to stay
you dragged me across the floor
my knees scraped to bloody nubs
you fled into the desert
slept like a suckling under the cactus that tried to
murder me with pricks the size of penises
stuck me almost got me
at the lake the next summer you pretended it was a dream
and you lost your way had to ask for directions
hence you are back
But I still lay dead
Sinner
I can’t touch God
through thin air
I try to
pry open
a cloud
look for wings
or a harp……..I lie in bed
in search of
an angel
flapping music
I whisper my
confessions tonight……..
but only the devil listens
Fess Box
I’m stuck as fuck in this ever so tight place I can’t break out
knock my head through this wall I step outside myself
to watch the rising sun I get into
the heat
of it all
I surprise myself with these legs
I move shit
I can move as fast as fuck if I want to
only
if I want to
I have this body thirty-something years
this bitch has never let me down
I held babies in this womb
I gave the milk of my breast I let them carve me open
and remove any fucked up shit that did not belong
in the secret places of my body when it wasn’t the time to be there
and you thought it wasn’t the time for me
to be up in your womb
(when you told him – not your husband – not the father that I come to
understand isn’t even my father)
when you told Mr. X your shit was barren and you got a little bit more
than a happy ending
you got a bun in the oven and you were unable to abort the mission
since Roe vs. Wade wasn’t Roe’n or Wade’n then
and you couldn’t find the back alley or witch doctors to creep up your vag
with a tree branch and decapitate my little baby head
I am a survivor
I saw the little imp and it ran in fear from me because I truly am savage
with love I never knew could be mine
I never realized I had wings and could wrap
around buildings and raise the dead
I can swing a bat and knock a house down
bring it home
to a warm bed and sweet sweet man who may
actually love
the bitch bedding
inside my bones
Empty
Let sleeping princesses be………
stop watching me when I sleep you might dirty my air
or suck my precious breath from me I have hated you for decades
yet you come in the night to watch and learn
you will take me…….my last breath……..when a princess I am no more
when the queen cometh/when the moon cometh/when we are broken
………..and collapsed
you will claim this sleeping beauty
as if I owe you…….but there is nothing left to take here
Hell hath no fury….
When dreadful
whispers awaken
that fury within her
when she comes to understand
she has been deceived
that electric shock
that reboot
when scorned
devils cower
from her quake
she is coming
cunting
ravaging…..
be afraid
Deep, deep stuff!
Well done, Donna, great writing.
