Weasel in my Veins

urgent silence of four a.m a vixens scream fragments moist particles I tremor sat in the dark garden of absinthe as the weasel in my veins takes fright scurrying into the fermented air of the vessel that is my mind to isolate and design itself a new fate

All Dandelions Bleed

when I sleep reality slips away it becomes womb to tomb with blood of dandelions on your feet crushed against moist earth you trod as you step each length to the void of open earth coffin recessed awaiting mind unconscious to anything numb in its vitals but where reality has slipped away a joyous nothing awaits
