once your scales
fall away you are
bare and translucent;
your spine,
visible through the
film of your skin.
there is strength,
in this –
there is strength
in many unusual things.

Literature
cynical: arsenical
splinter-thorn boy,
it will all start to
d i s i n t e g r a t e
beneath you
you are
the least beautiful way to unravel -
all maggot-rot, no
split-thread, no
ribbon-torn boy
an architect of
self-abuse;
a god of
ru(i)n(n)ing
[away] &
no:
there is nothing holy about you

Anthophilous (An Anthology)
i. Roses
She breathes through
tattered lungs &
with every inhale
that pierces through her
she coughs up thorns,
telling herself that
she's used to the
taste of her own blood
but her teeth are starting to ache
as pain wraps itself around her tongue
& you could hand her the shears
but she refuses to take them,
too scared of
how much it would hurt
to heal
ii. Clematis
I trace the v(ei/i)n(e)s
curling up her willowy wrists,
my whispers dropping into her lap like stones
(and she wraps her fingers around them,
studies them with amethyst eyes)
words flower from her lips.
Faerie girl,
I bloom into her embrace
and thread my confessions
in
Literature
Grace
The hands that cast the mould that made the plough
that dug the dirt for crops to make the dough
that makes our bread - they let us grow.
The souls who drive the trucks each waking hour
from farm to store to shop give us our power -
it makes them dead - and we devour.
Each morsel grows from dirt to plant to food
we tear a piece and sell so it's construed
we do our bit - we don't - we just collude.
And while each toiler keeps us from our graves
so we keep them trapped in their enclaves,
to tell ourselves each night - we don't own slaves.
