Dichotomy

She PhotoShops her
self covered with blood spatters
loves puppies, is sweet.

Big death, little death

Sleep gently takes you,
like the lethal injection
you cannot resist.

Being a silly girl

An affectation,
but it’s cute, and she is for
given many sins.

A Christmas story

If I could shoot my
eye out with that thing, I’d just
sit and watch TV.

Clean sweep

My spare bedroom holds
many possibilities
under all that junk.

Alone time

I burn candles and
incense. Maintain silence. Find
myself in nothing.

Because they can

No greater self-love
than a dog licking itself
with satisfaction.

Fifth sense

Could I love you if
we did not touch, if I did
not mark you as mine?

Anticipation

Making travel plans,
like getting dressed for a date,
is a leap of faith.

VH1 shows

It’s the guilty splurge,
potato chips for the mind.
You can’t watch just one.
