have you ever seen something so grotesque?

no, don't speak.

have you ever seen something so grotesque?

it's in your eyes.

it will be fine, you know.

but still

have you ever seen something so grotesque?

her body sits on the floor

it is warped with blood and swelling

she is inhuman

have you ever seen something so grotesque?

check her pulse

(there is none to check)

Do not cry

Love was a soft death

Much like drowning, something life-giving wrapping around you and choking breath from your lungs.

She was radiant

Her dreams were gentle and comforting, conforming easily to trained hands. Her skin was milk-fresh, shining and smooth, lit with star-song and incense.

I built for her once, to begin. But I knew my limits. Her smile captivated me. Her eyes were onyx, cunning, ...

There was no comfort in a house of inhumanity.


She was built in another's image, in shape of something she ...

Ten stuffed another donut into his mouth. "No, I just think its a job for someone-"


"Okay. stop." Iris held up a hand to shield herself from the powered-sugar-spray, face twisted in disgust. "She made her choice."

to seek the flowery meadows

and the gentle dew-dappled leaves


my grandmother always told me

that bikes were made for biking

and jeans were made to tear


my grandmother always told me

there's a world beyond our eyes

with angels that dance like lovers

and blessings in disguise
