her lips
Rope. On my neck it was a Python. “It is a disease.” They said. “We are curing you.” They said. My voice ran away. The two women spit at my body to ward the devil away. Their eyes were telling me that I should be ashamed. The men entered me, one after the other. There were moments when all of me was filled up by the men. They kept going, even when I looked down and saw red all over, they told me...

the dream
I dreamed that you had ceased to love me; not that you had come from other beds back to mine, or gone from mine to others, just that something in your heart had stopped.

I willed myself awake a second time to find myself alone, as...

just thought everyone should know
I’m a tad bit tipsy here at Millie’s. Closing alone yet again, listening to “Fuck You,” by Lily Allen, full blast. It looks like a snow globe outside.

mornings
I have to tell myself it is not real. It is a dream. I wake up and bury my face into my pillow. This is much too familiar. I want to sleep forever and make this dream my life. In my dream he tells me he’s sorry. He tells me he wants to be with me again forever and ever. He tells me he loves me. His smile makes my body explode into a million tiny butterflies. I’m in class and I look up...
