Howl by reechy, literature

Literature

Howl

Tonight is a full moon and in a car with closed windows, this could be any shit-kicking town the man next to me is any other lumberjack the girl in my seat is another small town misfit chasing an escape we are riding West toward stars and nothing but distance and oblivion my Howl chokes inside the urge to strip naked and run through trees, past neighborhoods, over bridges, and down streets to the ocean to return to be baptized again and again and again until the salt and piss and whale semen eat away at this, armor of jaded cynicism to lie in the freezing midnight shallows naked as we come until my skin is raw and flushed until my wits a

Resurrection by reechy, literature

Literature

Resurrection

A face of elfish points- disobedient ears peeking out from curtains of curls. Arched eyebrows, quirked in purposefully impish angles. I told her once that her nose looked like a ski jump. "Like a bunny slope,” I suggested, “it curves a bit at the end." She snorted loudly and spit a lugi to the ground, ending that conversation and any possible extension of the unfavorable analogy. I still took pleasure in the comparison; for all apparent ferocity and malice, Lorelei was undoubtedly an animal of prey. Darting eyes, shifting glances, nervous tendencies- a creature aware of its own diminutive size and strength. Soft and cuddly too, I

Literature

too easy to call them nightmares

Listen to what I say when I talk in my sleep maybe you will find what's been bothering me I can't speak when it matters, not in the day But at night my jaw slackens, and thoughts give way I will grumble and twitch and certainly snore But sometimes escapes just a little bit more So listen to my mumbled narration of dreams And maybe I'll tell you a secret to keep

palmistry by reechy, literature

Literature

palmistry

my nails look like shiny cartoon doughnuts lengthener and strengthener vanilla batter 46 tip toe frosting pretty in pink diamond sprinkles by the second coat the yellowing disappears glitter almost conceals the cracking and the top layer covers over the uneven bites after hacking at overgrown cuticles and mowing over the thistle weed hangnails you can hardly tell- that these are the chewing rods of a manic depressive burnt roach clips for home-grown tobacco cigarettes abused picks of a string musician the undeserving lovers they have held, eyebrows smoothed, stubble cradled the compositions they have played for deaf listeners hands

mourning, the u is silent by reechy, literature

the fish are dying by reechy, literature

Literature

the fish are dying

cigarette kisses pierce the carpet like fallen stars- burning angels with a light far too hot for the mortal grounds, fall right through to bide their eternity in the core- the earth needs to keep vital organs warm, she has no sacrificial quarrels. fist holes puncture the walls - little spots of oblivion, black holes of a singular existence, sucking everything that is light- gravity is too great on objects of heavier meaning, they pull to the soul, settle on the spirit, and claim the unsoiled land as homestead.

puddle of diamonds by reechy, literature

Nelumbo nucifera by reechy, literature

Literature

Nelumbo nucifera

petal cupped palm, handful of sunshine at twilight, the bees drink luminescent nectar and become fireflies black seta molting to the glass-bodied bulb writing in comet trails, a child's first sparkler little lightning bolts embodied entrapped shooting stars incarnate drunk on igneous gold, they do not notice as the virgin flower sinks to be born again tomorrow a warm-blooded goddess baptized by the night

Continuum Shift by ArtsyAmbassadorArt, literature

adolescent idols. by comatose-comet, literature

Literature

adolescent idols.

You with your lilac perfumes and claw-footed bathtubs, you with your pleasant gods with their ivory skin and smiling eyes, poised in golden robes, wrapped in divine light, they make you toast in the morning and bless your travels, they hold back tides, they stop traffic, you walk through life under their watchful gaze, your childhood is a talisman. My gods are liars, cruel and iron-fisted. They left me in a field of brambles, gave me nothing but barbed wire teeth and gatling gun hands, I learned to spit and curse and fight before I could pray on bruised knees. They tested and tempered me with tragedies; I am a weapon of self-destruction they

Winter Jewels by Kay-March, literature

Literature

Winter Jewels

A million filaments salt crystals on my skin Summer sea ornaments The Sun's gold returns to the Moon's cradle Still burns Poets plumes come to drink from the ambrosia fountain Gods gift in blue ink The velveteen dark sky is full of opals, again it opens Stars fall in their place, like rain Autumn leaves with the last chirping wings lukewarm nights and honey days Soft southern winds Every colour fades when dawn awakes Between mists and shades Old paper petals unfold Winter jewels inside me All seems white and cold except the amber you gave me *K MARCH *Y © copyright of KAY MARCH - All Rights Reserved.

Literature

(don't) remember me.

her voice whispers itself into my sleep and beats against my ear drums - she is running across damp earth so gracefully, so easily; with each step she leaves behind a weed for me to trip and stumble over as she flies, fairydust in her eyes and moondrops in her hair and i can never catch her. (i can never catch her.) so i bury myself in the mouldy roots of the earth like mother nature's unborn child, twist my fingers and cross my ankles. maybe i'll grow into something beautiful and she'll turn around and remember me. (it is when i wake up i remember i'd rather she'd forget me so i can forget her too.)

Tip by crimsonletters, literature

Literature

Tip

This is like a drug deal. Except it's in broad fucking daylight and my hands are too sweaty. I rub my palms on my sleeves, biceps throbbing dully in remembrance of last night's manic ordeal. The kid, a boy, probably seventeen or anything as dangerous and reckless as it is, looks at me peculiarly. Like this is an actual drug deal. "Do you want it?" I mumble, "I'm kind of in a hurry. Do you want it?" "Eh, of course. Half the price?" "I know," I say, more to myself. He frowns a little, just a little that his eyes are about to squint. Goddamnit. Damn shit fuck. Stop. Stop thinking, bitch. It's probably the sunlight. I might just be overthi
