My blood’s got it’s own pair of eyes now, Christ. The only blood I’ve got left.<\/p>\n

To Death, my personal angel:<\/p>\n

\"Emma<\/p>\n

To the one who got rid of the babies and the broken bottles. I’m listening to trash indie on a speaker in the shower, shaving horizontal with the\u00a0bloodstreams and the veins and watching green vines overflow on my hips like milk in the pitcher. And yeah, I’m angry.<\/p>\n

\"Flores\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m pissed,\u00a0this sloppy red mess is all\u00a0I’ve got left and the bottle hit me on the jaw and threw me in the kitchen at three am, in a puddle of my own spit. They tell me I’m a daughter of a man with stains on his hands and I believe them. They tell me my rigor mortise is setting in a\u00a0few decades early and I sit back to watch the dog tags slip\u00a0between my broken left tooth.<\/p>\n

Some songwriter is going to put it like this:<\/p>\n

When there’s nothing in your face screaming<\/p>\n

hell is the enemy,<\/p>\n

who’s to judge when you leave this town?<\/p>\n

The gate is open and burning, but so too<\/p>\n

are you, and again,<\/p>\n

\"Photographer<\/p>\n

the circumstantial crucified by prophecies and the<\/p>\n

provisional holy one.<\/p>\n
