Favorite Quote:
"Only the human soul remained terra incognita" - Kurt Vonnegut


You are my suntanned underbite – flesh-filled, rotting droplet;
jutting jaw, my violet inbreeding is a secret kept against my breastbone.

Daring Soothsayer, promise-break & shatter mirrors that teeth touch –
there is glass in the corner of your mouth. I want it
as I want the dust around your navel.
