Every time she laughed, a flower fell out of her mouth. I knew it was a trick – a sleight of hand – because she’d always laugh with her mouth covered and then show me the flower. These petals weren’t even wet. Just a little crumpled.
She put the tulips on the bed between us, and when I raised an eyebrow she giggled and brought out four bluebell heads.
And then I just did it. I tickled her.
And I don’t know why I didn’t stop.
She was on her back, gentle colours spilling from her lips, until she choked on them.Literature
consecrate
authenticity an arsenic
in morning coffee, in the smiles
pressed like ironed laundry,
because I feel like one wrong breath,
one wrong kiss between glossed lips and soft jaws
and I will be nailed to a cross
deception a shame rising like steam,
where teeth grind against each other
like clockwork gears, tick tick ticking
while the tongue kisses the roof of its cathedral
like a prayer to gods yet to be named
because her face is a mosaic window
shining the sin out of love

In the Syllable
...then there is a way in diswaiting.
Dust some yellow sand covers,
here uncover bare bedding.
...suffusing red planes, blushed dunes,
under incidentally quilted blanket
wet as arid curves, as sounds.
...in a persistent pavement,
in a solemn unsuited promise,
some written words erase
some letters drip and soak
unto a perfuse miracle,
a dislocated split,
a letting go of...

I fell in love through a thin sheet of glass
Scraping my skin on the shards as it shattered.
And I fell asleep reaching for your hands
Dreaming of unwritten notes and dial tones.
I thought it would taste like pink lemonade,
But the way I say your name is metallic.
I thought you would be a way to escape,
But my wires got crossed and I became lost.
You're just chasing residual noise
And I'm losing my digital voice.

That was - that was...whoa. I can't even convey how much I love this, how even her death is written with a dark gentleness. Nice work.
