Poetry

deconstructing in your sighsi
it’s not like they said it would be easy.
when you look at me
open-mouthed and dewey-eyed,
negligent; and your laughter
slurs together like runoff sewage,
and your voice is drowning in
a certain kind of sadness, the one
reserved for the faults
we never asked for; and you sigh,
heavy, like I am back sitting in
your throat between your adam’s apple
and the truths you dare not speak;
you pity me.
ii
it’s that very same weakness which
delivered me naked and trembling
into the skin of a person
I never was; pity
does not require action, disappointment
does not take away from the burning human need
to overcome oneself. I’m sick of living
tomorrow regretting the person I am today;
I drained her all out in a fit of desperation,
and filled myself through with vodka giggles
and scribbled lines and you, darling, you,
who fears nothing but the skeleton girl
sleeping quietly in your closet.
deconstructing your sighs by intricately-ordinary

<sub>Suggester: This piece is just
so lovely, from start to finish.
And I can really appreciate the
fact it's a personal piece, as well.

AMMI thought about distance as you slept on my shoulder
Curled up, open mouthed, like a baby bird.
I thought of walls between minds
As I looked at your hand, scarred, blunt-nailed,
Fingertips accidentally dropped to my sleeve.
I want fiercely to protect you, unknown
Familiar child.  I want to stop being afraid
And love the impulsivity
The scar on your lip
The small, compact body
Everything you’ve ever done
All of you.
AMM by gummyrabbit

<sub>"I want to stop being afraid
And love the impulsivity."

DESCENT by Ann-Russell

_{Suggester: "This piece builds tension
with the quiet suspense of a calm
before a storm. The reader is pulled
into the protagonist's situation and
left wanting to know what comes next."}

Coeur d'Islande by wordeea
