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.

Today, I wennt to thee beachfront with my kids.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed
the shell to her ear and screamed. Tere was a hermit crab
inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to ggo back!
LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

Howdy! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get a
captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the same blog
platform as yours and I’m having difficulty finding one?
Thanks a lot!

This design is steller! You obviously know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Excellent job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how
you presented it. Too cool!
