Abby Tweed

Ancient symbol-like
An ancient symbol
The golden butterfly
Fades into my bedroom ceiling-
...

Your head is hot like bottled sun
Yet your feet are cold in sanded paste
Your face is split in half
Your arms are melting
...

Razor Sharp
And dressed like the wind,
You stood before a frigid window,
Gently patting the freckles out of your hair.
...

...

These very words
Are best unsaid;
Revealed, they soon will roam
from head to mouth,
...

...

My melting legs;
My rotten eggs
Ferment in nylon shrouds,
Though once torn loose,
...
