utilitarian beauty
plastic bags digging in- to her palms, leaving red welts where they had hung all the way from town to home, her hair a bit sticky, strands rebelling against her chignon, conniving with sweat tracing an easy line down the curve … Continue reading

Cheap Pain(t)
Disgustingly doe-eyed, i spin thread after thread, silky, supple, in swathes, begging to be stroked, s(m)oothed and woven.. if the threads end up tangled and knotted, in clumps, warted, it’s your unstroke, absent and ignorant. Carefully coquettish, i coax words … Continue reading

In (too much) Flesh and (too little) Blood
it’s not that she’s fat, it’s just that the abundance is displayed, plentifully, piously, like a, a pilgrimage site- to be deified? Natural bracelets on her wrists that jiggled as she made her points, vehement and viscuous, just like her. … Continue reading

Need me, you do, me
Supple, yet taut. Sheer potency, that I unleash if provoked. Animal-like, you say? Yes, quite; no, very much animal. It pays to be nice to me, you shall see and pay, still more dearly if you ignore me, for I … Continue reading
ZOO, OOH
wild-er-ness: nature, making her choices branching into wild, wild(er), permanent ‘ness’ in whom she pleases; tags that lead some to wreak their will and some to hide the best they can, mumbling ‘er’s by way of apology for existing, taking … Continue reading
