I bleed poems

[girlofallthingsdevine]

Would anyone deeply enjoy me

if my wellbeing wasn’t at stake?

Do you really want me there

Or is that just for my sake?

It’s my feelings you try to spare

But it’s still some kind of ache

I know you do it because you care

But still here i lie awake

Wondering if i’m what you choose

Or what you have to partake

Does my presence add to your views

Or just a guilt you can’t shake?

Def heavy: mentions SA, prostitution, drug use, incest, and medical trauma

Though my eyes are now dry

I won't forget a single tear I cried

You may think it was nothing

But don't you know mother dear

The axe forgets but the tree remembers

en esa época fichaba diamantes por la diagonal

sopa de calabaza con queso y huevo guisado de garbanzos y chorizos

hay un mundo que se reparte en el rumor de lenguas de los sobrevivientes

íbamos encontrando la gloria del día en el whisky robado futura cresta de la ola de la tiniebla entumecida

¿cuántas veces pasamos por acá? y sin embargo

y sin embargo todo esto es nuevo

el ciclo se reinicia entre los yuyos que la plaza apalanca entre sus ruinas pidiendo a gritos la revancha

arroz con verduras salteadas alitas de pollo y papas al horno milanesa de berenjena

MISSING & GONE

i wrote this based on a song by PJ Harvey titled 'missed' that can be interpreted to be about the virgin mary. it speaks to me on so many levels, despite not being religious. how little thought, it seems, is given to mary being a little girl who gave birth. how her son was stolen from her. how she had to grow up alongside her son, allegedly the child of god.

i did tons of research on her specifically to write this to make sure i got it right so as not to be disrespectful or give incorrect information.

i hope you enjoy this (: it's one of my favorite things i have ever written.
