I try to draw a breath
but my lungs won’t expand
to allow it
A wet veil has been
placed about my head
and it threatens to cut off
the life force of air
Swimming in your seas
has left me with a fear of drowning
“Test the waters you fool,” says my chastising voice. “Never dive in head first. When are you going to learn your lesson?”
But all is lost in the abyss
my ears are covered with water
and blackness begins to swirl around me
Like a blind person
I want to explore every inch of your skin
and commit it to memory
I want to taste your tattoos with my tongue
and bury my nose in your neck
so I can inhale the scent of you
and feel the goosebumps my lips create
as I brush them down your back
fingertips feather light
following the trail my lips make
grazing your ass with my hands
stopping only to grip your thighs
and feel the cord of muscle within
completing my journey
by pressing my nakedness
against yours
absorbing the rhythms of your body
through osmosis
so I can carry the song of you with me
wherever I go
I gave you too much of my truth
I presented you my soul stripped bare
like a communion wafer
laid upon your tongue
so you could devour
the very essence of me
And you chewed me up
and spit me out
and picked your teeth
with my bones
What gave you the right
to preach your gospel
while I tossed
my coins of devotion
into your collection plate
only to have you
lay waste to me
as I knelt down before you
You are the worst kind of deity
a devil in disguise
and I refuse to worship you

Sinking
Falling
Flailing
Down the rabbit hole I go
I’m late, I’m late
for a very important date
of which I have no plan to keep
because only darkness abides there
Drink me,
Eat me,
make me play croquet and drink tea
which I prefer iced
with a sane hatter
though they’re so few and far between
Will that particular caterpillar
ever become a butterfly?
Will what’s in that hookah
make all my troubles disappear?
Off with my head! Off with my head!
the only solution to stop all those crazy thoughts
from becoming things
You! There!
my King of Hearts,
smile at me like a Cheshire Cat
and wake me from my slumber
there’s no judgment in your world
where you feed me tasty morsels
to make me feel (abby) normal again
lest I drown in my own tears
your tongue shall speak volumes
I eagerly await your recitations
syllables, meter, the morphology of it all
has me spewing jargon and expletives
the pitch and intonation of varying resonance
as you
articulate
pronunciate
narrate
syntax
the fuck out of me
with your literacy
you sir, are a cunning linguist
your particular sort of speech
music to the very core of my being
there shall never be an oral moratorium between us
and sometimes I can sum my feelings up for you
quickly and neatly
in a tiny space
with few words
and other times long addition isn’t enough
and I need an abacus
because no matter how I try
there are never enough words that will factor in
what I feel for you
and the silly school girl in me
that doesn’t even like math
believes
you + me = all I’ll ever need
The rain cascades down the window
flooding me with want
of you
of a quilt
of the feeling of safety and peace so easily found in the crook of your arm
And all I want right now is to be sitting
Here
In this chair
With you across from me
Watching the sun rise
Talking about everything and nothing
As the cool breeze wafts the scent of the neighbor’s honeysuckle past us
Knowing that love is in the little things
And the shortest distance between two points
is as the crow flies
so I wait for wings to form
make me a bird and let me fly
far, far away
but no amount of pleading with a non-existent god or goddess
can make it happen
so I’m leaving on a jet plane
to get a rocky mountain high, the rocky mountain way
I couldn’t get much higher
if I was huffing the scent of your excellence
while standing 40 feet in the air with you
Fiction, and other made-up stories
Still histrionic, still a bookwhore; just faking competence because of my kid.
