  Cabbages

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  All day, cabbages, cabbages, cabbages. All night, she lies there, wrapped in cabbages. The next day, more cabbages. Weeding cabbages, watering cabbages, picking cabbages, packing cabbages. Now. Where do the cabbages go? She seems to have forgotten. This is cause for anxiety. The way to disp...

  The Flowers I Saw This Morning

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  The flowers I saw this morning, I had never seen them before, Though I stroll in those fields near every day, Today there was so much more, The dim sunlight danced like heaven on high, Upon the leafy green, And the spirits carried me away, To the most beautiful place ever seen, From ...

  Play Suicide

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  It's just play suicide, Don't really have a reason, Dying is simply the spirit of the season. Just to see what it's like, No pressure, just the knife, Standing on a rooftop in itself is no plight. I'll just shake things up and make things right, Just kinda pretend I�...

  Back to You

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  Give me candy floss or cigarettes, I am so bored of fighting it, Even the worst is nothing new, And I never really stopped loving you. You make me sigh and you make me smile, Drag across my skin, though it's been awhile, Come back to me and make me melt, Because you were the last joy I...

  Some Old Man.

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  As I was biking up a rather steep hill on my way to the cemetery yesterday evening, I glanced over to my left to see an old man coming out of a house. He shook his fist in a way that could be aggressive or encouraging, maybe not even at me, and said what I first assumed(since Morrisey’s voice was ...

  This Body

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  This body is far from perfect, Neither fit nor slender, This body is not an Italian sculpture. Pale, pink based skin, Marred with marks of a destructive personality, Stretches over fat and bone and muscle, Human from head to toe. If strained in a looking glass into poses, angles, The ill...

  Lolita

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  Pretty little flowers will always be crushed. Something delicate and innocent can only exist for a minute before it's gone. Only the wretched survive, while the beautiful die. A butterfly so easily tears it's wing as a fragile figure is so simply defiled, destroyed and left as a p...

  Giving Up

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  I try to spark thoughts to prove you wrong, but my young mind gets raw from the gritty surface. It's too much. Feel the relief of giving up. Set down the filled hollow rock and feel your muscles relax. The sharp screaming disintegrates. All that's left is numb. There'...

  Sitting Still

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  My mind is restless. My body fidgets. My neck crunches with a roll of the skull. Flitters turn to a buzz. I grasp at my scalp through oily roots. I score knotted locks with fingernails. My ears pop and I stretch my jaw. My nose runs. I sniff. I squeeze my eyes shut. I open them to see fore...

  The way you bleed into the paper, smooth and dark and even, beautiful, androgynous and you can be anything. You're calm and liquid, explosive and violent, Some days you agree and some days you don't. You're elusive and shy, dramatic and wild, you do what you...

  That One

  

  By Inktea, Almonte, Canada

  Born in the year of the rat, Sweetness had been denied, To her childish eyes, Now to see the beauty in black, Never to go back, The bitter balances out, Wretched is how she'll be seen, Light and dark she changes with the seasons, And brings calm wherever she wanders, Lives and dies and...
