A kinda surrealist style poem I wrote awhile ago that I'm still proud of.

Ughhhh I really have too shake this writing block off! Anyway, here it is.Β 

As always; no stealing--it is published elsewhere with timestamps!



Lover

Β 

We are trapped in the touch
of one anotherβ€”
a pair of writhing rabbits
snared within the
last dying rays of sunlight,
and the night unfolds
with us slung helplessly across
its blue-black shoulderβ€”lost
in the satisfaction of a hunter’s
earthly pang; hunger
and warmth conjoined
at the mouth.

We are large, obsidian flies
drowning in a green glass
bowl filled to the brim with
sugar waterβ€”our siphons
desperately scanning as
our slick arms and legs
try to climb one another.
Transparent wings instinctively
searching for wet carcasses,
or violet figsβ€”mushy dark
plums, or honey; we found
heaven instead.
