In case you missed Teen Howl this month, this is the poem that I performed.
As of today, I’m accepting questions.
I’ll be posting a great deal of poetry after the 21st- I don’t like posting poems I plan to perform until after I perform them.
You have him
inside your skin
along the cage of your ribs.
I remember
the artist taking the iron
and painting his words
into your dermis
and I was jealous
because I longed so much
to have your body
as my canvas,
to scribe my lines
ever so candid.
Your hand squeezed
the grasp around my fingers

My love,
how the hell can
you blame me for
abandoning you
if you’re the one
pushing me away?
…if you don’t want
your poison to
course through my veins?
How can a girl
cherish a life
if she never
wants to hold it?
How can she live
in this moment?
…when she feels that
her world is…
My horse drawing.
