SELF-PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN’S HEART PHOTOED AS FRAILTY


I taste the world a gore-stricken soul, feebling in the things that clang relief

In this room where delusion is a safety pin, bird’s wings never learn to fly and
the heart of a woman photos as frailty.

Isn’t a woman, fragments squealing in blotched skins? a blister with the
face of a pustule? & this femininity, a wingless bird where flight is a figment?
I’ve reteached my tongue not to take forte in the invocations of love calls.

I still scribble in rough parchments the beauty of heartbreaks, where my lover’s
flatteries are a pellicle of blindness. I’m a scalpel in the hands of a craftsman and the
dissect is a starked anatomy of love. But the threnody verses of a girl carpenters
illegal ideations. Why does reminisces yoke us and unyoke us with things jingling

familiarities? enamouring griefs is ethereal, wetting my reins with the tintiness
of liquors and inebriation. Isn’t it soothing to heal in broken pieces?
Gosh, relief is like a sea of drunken immersion where new birth is intoxicating.
Mama used to say a broken heart heals in broken pieces, and here I am,
preening piety for the growing thing that tags along with goodbyes.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you
wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with
a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other
than that, this is great blog. A great read.
I will definitely be back.

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any
issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any methods to
prevent hackers?
