  • ASHES AND BIRTHDAY CANDLES

    your birthday was halo-lit nights and cigarettes in sugar cakes—

    melted icing smeared over the tips of flames snuffed out in the dark.

    you asked for a songbird, said your lungs were burnt with apocalypse dust

  • Anthophile- MK

    I was once a girl in love with a flower,

    delicate and soft.

    So I picked this flower and brought it home,

    deciding it was better off with me.

    If only I knew calamity would follow

    if the flower was no longer free.

  • Scraps

    Ask for help

    They tell you,

    But when you do,

    They refuse to give it,

     

    Be yourself

    They chant,

    But when you try,

    You're told to hide away. 

     

  • Denial

    It was real hard

    To cry until I saw the altar


     

    I just couldn’t believe it,

    Ya know.   ?


     

    These kinda things happen to

    Other people, not her

    Never put that left index finger down on the C

    When you see a D right after - it will slow you down

    And the goal is

    As fast as you can go
