your hands tickle my hips but i don't want to shake them off let them hang like stale christmas lights, glimmering late into march-- who cares what the neighbors think? although i giggle and grin and slip from face to face with liquid certainty your mouth remains so far away i wonder if my charmed lips have somehow faded out of style, no longer the little black dress hung up in your heart's wardrobe. words all sound the same to me and they slur meaningless together. i'm sick of riding on this tiresome tide of melody, when all these seconds remain stubbornly still. the ice splinters, the lights are stiffly taken down strand b

The Shepherd's Staff 00

Prologue "And the Fairy of Dreams with moth-wings furled Plays soft on her flute to the drowsy world." --Ida Rentoul Outhwaite My eyelashes stick together, all gluey half-crystallized molasses when I try to open my eyes. The thick syrupy feeling has gotten deep into the center of my head, slowing it down nearly to a halt like freezing the tumultuous churning of the center of the world. My lips cling together too, and the peeling sensation tickles. I'm all bundled up in some heavy fabric, thick and fuzzy like the kind my little brother has in his crib back home. I try to push it off of me, but th

Waltz

wearied by the constant knock of fingertips scratching the heart-beat clock. and if I should die before I wake there's plenty of people and a place to take so use your mind and not your heart love, this waltz was doomed before the start and twirl in beat and twirl in place until you bleed and win the race but dream a fragment, wish it ceased a whole dream could not bring you peace. bounce in and out and then around but these blistered feet won't dance on the ground. wearied by the constant knock of your own fingertips scratching the heart-beat clock.

Literature

The Sharpened Girl

A woman made of knives and bones Black water hair hides faery coves Soft of mouth but pebbled stones Are sharpened in her field of cloves Made of lies and deceit kept In flesh and mind and blood A sweetened lover just as apt To drag you through the mud A dangerous girl to frolic with But such allure is great If she is seen be gone forthwith Or be entrapped by love and hate.

Garbage

Garbage "I envy people who drink - at least they know what to blame everything on." --Oscar Levant “You should bring down one of the trash cans.” My dad called as I passed by his room. I don’t know how he knew what I was planning, but appreciated his idea, so I captured one of the cans off the back deck. Flicking the switch left the entire crowded space illuminated with a sharp yellow light and somehow I maneuvered it down our narrow basement stairs without falling. I missed the soft blue tones upstairs. The day could have been beautiful, but I remember it as gray and blue, cloud-

Impatience and Wishfulness by phantisaeii, literature

Literature

Impatience and Wishfulness

The Impatience and Wishfulness of a Single Moment Space, between them. The big air steeps into the see-through ice and every atom is a poppyseed, taut as snow-laden phone lines, strung along in the universe. They're slung like wire through the percolation, barbs rusting on the acid-sweet stagnancy, saccharine. The door handle pleads for a wash, tormented by salt-sick winter asphalt. Her bags sink into depthless seas but she finds no strength in the anchors. The air foams with turbulent thoughts. She bids a sardonic adieu and he inspects the bench. Clams washed ashore; one half-uncovered, one half-hidden. Space, between them. The
