OPEN-BRAIN SURGERY

compass rose

i've left my shadow in between cracks in the street in hopes you'll trip on darkness and ask for her name.

i've liquified the heart-ache, dripped it in your tea, in your water, left eggs in your mouth and hid my posion behind your teeth.

rot so you find me. live toothless, guide me to you. black and brown spiders' webs, scream and call it lightning

devouring all your white—love can be ugly when ignored. i can be ugly when ignored. love can be ugly when ignored.
