I get it! It’s been a busy year and my reading time has suffered greatly. I drive a lot for work, so audiobooks have helped me keep up with my reading goals.

Phlegyas Kisses a Black Ass


if I were a greekmyth
i’d be the greatest spawn of chaos
purged in the blood of some castrated god
my written word a dirté canto
a calligraphic 3-headed dogma
guarding the grids of hubris
this oeuvre de plume—abookapomes colossus
i’ve never once had a taste for asphalt
but america still concrete citizens me in census 
recurring in typecast as ‘malignant cyst’ 
on how the marbled ovaries turn
but i’m geek and African not Greek or Crete
or even concrete so by my own pathological discourse
i’m a shaman on the forward path
walking past-backwards to where the Ra also rises
but you want minotaurs
well poetry is a shill & I shuffle 3 queens in a labyrinth
no bull but Anubis lines up our mark he’s also executor
of my will and beneath the queen of spades
i’m a space age polymer with the head of a jackal
a black isomer with a poison quill & nocuous rime
ah, queen of hearts—i’m sorry for your loss

also Daedalus was a dick
I offered redclay for his wings
and still he chose a beeswax

I fear I have become so accustomed to audiobooks that when I have to read with my own eyes it feels something like—🕯️📖 alas, I must interpret the glyphs myself. #audiobooks #reading #readinggoals

headcanon: Gravity is a skripper at center of mASS and has eternal beef with Isaac Newton because he reduced her entire career to an apple, keeps telling people he “discovered” her, and still shows up like he’s entitled to a lap dance. anyway. #gravity #headcanon #classicalphysics

I just want to eat strawberries and read books in a world where everyone is safe. Instead I explain the difference between racism and prejudice and witness the aftermath of what bombs do to human bodies. #humanrights #wedeservebetter

When our mouths met, I tasted it— the grudge on your lips. The first omen wasn’t poison, just the way that you kissed. Our bodies made language, our mouths filled with flames— if only fire had soft things to say. excerpt, ‘the taking light’ #poetry #poetsofbluesky #poem #writingcommunity

excerpt, “pretty little labor machine” I gave up wishing on stars, In favor of engineering your dreams— white picket fence, a pretty little labor machine. Made babies and forgot I was supposed to eat. Became just another way to transfer heat. #poetsofbluesky #poetry #poem #emotionalphysics

#Like this if you’d #read #poetry about a #Gemini moon exiled to the 12th house, working doubles at a haunted Cheesecake Factory where she argues with ancient gods in the walk-in, dodges cryptic texts from the #zodiac #groupchat, and gets spiritually subtweeted by her #exes in the astral plane.
