Month: January 2019

Decency

Posted on January 25, 2019March 18, 2019 by Torrey

I’ve saturated myself with sweat and suffering for 3 days straight. Rose water and cloves, to fill boiling water cups. Maybe this will work and take away that (deep-seated-something) and let me breathe, just enough for the vapours to make me smile.

3 words too many

Posted on January 18, 2019January 18, 2019 by Torrey

Whisper them if you must- I know petty better than this. Avalanche and silence and nothing and broken words that I need to feel deeper than you can give. For now, you say anyway I’ll try and hold that declaration Pin it to my own cross. palms pierced blood as ink- blood as binding. My…

The price we pay

Posted on January 16, 2019January 18, 2019 by Torrey

Azazel, Your tears flow so freely, does the crown on your head not weigh you down? What broken dream has sent you here again, to this place of mortal dread and  insignificance. My yellowed prince- don’t tar your wings; you are already burning. Cinders may fly, but they are also dying.

Not Tridents

Posted on January 12, 2019January 18, 2019 by Torrey

One two three Four I feel them Flowing from the outside Into me, My skin. What happens when my flesh Is more metal Than skin, When I resemble the dog Covered in ticks But in metallics.

moribund

Posted on January 7, 2019May 16, 2022 by Torrey

Broken by names of your flowers; I fell into a place where light can’t touch the wounds you left me. Your father’s garden needs weeding, but where do we go from this? Am I the only one to pull them up, pluck the courage to pluck? I hear you, screaming again, of flowers and poison…

Insulin/overachiever

Posted on January 6, 2019January 18, 2019 by Torrey

Waking up was more of a journey than a destination. Limbs so heavy weighted down with concrete mixed with sugar. I still feel them falling into themselves. Have you picked up sand washed over by the tide and felt it flow into the air in clumps seen only once, and then forever again part of…

The one about –

Posted on January 5, 2019January 19, 2019 by Torrey

Do you remember the night you made me stay alone, save wolves yet to be realized, in the back of (y)our everything? I was so kindly reminded today of the space I felt between us then. Curtains of black and grey billowing between dust and dust and dust. I have no choice. I’ll just Standby…

Haven’t cried, but I’ve been meaning to

Posted on January 5, 2019January 18, 2019 by Torrey

confusion and panic as your words hit- hurt my eyes again. This was not  what the day showed and the night was too long for me to have cared. I’m                          falling I                  failed my wicker…

Heart.stop()

Posted on January 4, 2019May 3, 2019 by Torrey

You are the reason I cannot breathe. Nailed my mouth shut With the harpy’s claws- A catalyst for Self destruction And reimagined mutilation Of my eyes with whitened knives that sprout from your soft hands. How many layers of bone and blood have gone into the weapons you use? What a dire end must they…
