In a pond, a reflection mocks me, placing me in a triangle of trickery. Like a cumulus cloud, pressure deceives into letting me down in soapy foam. The susurrus of a zephyr doesn't chill me with its wretched thoughts; instead, I find a bubble floating towards Shangri-la. Life is a pomegranate unveiling its flesh; but I do a tango with clumsy feet, tempting the devil himself-- a perfect concoction of various storms and saints. --Elda Mengisto

Path 10/3/23 (Poetober)

The moss reached up

cradling my bare feet

Lurching forward as I trudged along

Not quite softening the blow

but not quite letting me feel

the gravel between my toes

The ferns waved and giggled

Fanning me in their frills

Just like they did

In the cretaceous era

And 1673

And last tuesday

Maybe the moss and the ferns

And the ancient riverbed

I washed my feet in

Think me someone else

Think me an old friend

an old face

with an old name

And maybe I am

Do they wonder

how I’ve changed

Who else walked this path

before me

Who else never

bothered with Their names

You drink the poison

Of your sins and scream

Till the voice within dies out,

Guilt reaching above

Till you choke

And find nothing to resuscitate you

All around,

Where are the gods you wonder

Did they left sometime when you grew up,

It's impossible to remember

But now all that's available

Is your razor sharp tongue

And a cavernous maw

That feels as if there's someone else

A haunting that doesn't ends,

Memories of a bygone subtle magic

Ring somewhere in the distance,

But the overgrown cemetery

Of your faded vigour

Makes it difficult to comprehend

If something is sonorous,

And the place which

You once inhabited.

I saw him there out the corner of my eye A phantom a vision a little bit of my imagination A ghost a wisp a figment oh much too shy Something glaring out at me from Hell’s damnation

He stood there in the doorway Leading deep into the mausoleum Crumbling marble amongst which demons play He stood as still as a statue in a museum

I reached out my hand and touched his face He startled staring at me shocked floating vapor Grabbing me he pulled me into an embrace And with a great shuddering sigh he was no more

I’m a fetish and a death threat rolled up into one neat little faggot.

Words in autumn fall like withered blossoms Constant application for some Reliant bug for others Itched by multiple flowers Eating the last piece of art Reading the beginning of a new tart Riddle Kuddle Riding a new season for emotion In a letter made like a stop motion
