who are you, pray tell,
to decide…
Author: A. Violet
Hell is a great, bright light
and I am a moth…
Walk fast enough
that you can un-huddle
your shoulders…
insistence
incidence
chlorophyll
chloroform…
it’s ugly
it’s slightly unglued…
I, too, paint sunflowers.
Color dances in the light, …
this goes for pimples
below my lip, pain reminds me
I’m human…
it’s just another downpour…
play until my fingers hurt
write until …
I’ve saved my fork from sliding
down into the depths of ramen…
