Declaration

I am carved by the ocean and the night. I felt the ocean mold me, beat me, until I took the shape it wanted. It smoothed me over, but left some rough edges. I CAN STILL CUT YOU. I felt the night illuminate me with darkness. It poured itself inside of me, I mothered it, […]

Ghosts of Justice

Vengeance, swiftly, quietly, quickly. A ghost of justice, by the time you realize what’s going on you’ll be fitted in a pair of concrete boots. It’ll be just you and me. We’ll leave from a red shore, and I will make sure the tide of righteousness takes you where you belong. A ghost of justice, […]

endgame

Your love wrote its suicide note with lipstick on my heart’s mirror, so when I self-reflect its final words are all over me. I finally found your love, hanging in the basement of our dreams. I got to clean this up now.
