Curse of the Dragonfly Man
Draining upwards from the gray earth.
Body clear and iridescent as water
Almost invisible with the silver sky backdrop
As bubbles of crystal dance inside him, rainbows shifting like fairy blood
His voice has the depth of an earthquake,
Low but leaving you unable to run
Entranced in his spell,
Pray to goddess, pray for her to keep you well
“I am here to remind you of your fate.
You are just another serf in the land of
Our dragon king.”
A section of his body separates from the rest,
Iridescent danger wrapping around your mouth,
Freezing tight enough to keep you from speaking back
Your lips feel like they’re burning by mint,
And as a hot tear rolls onto the ice, you can hear it sing
“Yes, your silence pleases the king.
Stories of old speak of a special serf like you.
A pearlescent grain in the sand,
Bridges built and burnt by your human hand.
It became part of a sandcastle so high, all the kings men could only hope they had enough cunning to drag it into a lie.
He threatened the king, blood flew across battlefields, glittering and rich like ruby butterflies.
Dragons were slain from your hated kind,
Now your blood will stain the castle some day, but some day I will not say.”
“But possibly, you may notice the futility in your existence.”
His glass-like arms stayed attached to the body,
casting an illusion that they weren’t there at all
“If you rise any further:
How wonderful; your fall.”
With those last words, tiny bubbles stilled in his head like cyanide eyes.
Burning and seething in your retinas,
Discomforting enough to tempt suicide
“Fantastic thoughts may spring from your mind
Like soldiers on a battlefield.
Sparks may spring from your neurons like swords clashing as we won’t yield.
Your spirit shall sink past the deepest aquifers
And as the death count furthers
We will burn your spirit like sand in the earths core.
We will twist you into magnificent liquid glass, and forever you shall suffer”
As soon as he finished speaking,
The ice on your mouth thawed and slipped off and down into the soil.
Many small slits of his clear body peeled away,
As you watched them form into the shape of dragonflies.
Quickly, the rest peeled off and swarmed past you
While they glided into the horizon, their translucence betrayed your eyes, and the crystal dragonflies seemed invisible.
His spell has lifted.
Poem by me.

Eden
Dew drops forming in the corners of his eyes, sallow iridescence sleepily caressing his eyelashes
He never liked his round face
But I found it perfect
Cheekbones; not high, not very sharp, but strong and beautiful enough to shield his mind
Reflecting the sun with his golden skin,
Luminaries to worship and schedule my day around
Lips stout and lovely like the pinkest, most beautiful smelling rose you could remember
Corners pinching upward in a holy grin
Teeth barely peeking at me
They aren’t perfect, but I would offer my flesh so they could eat
How I wish I could lean into this garden from god
Eyes dark and sharp,
I dare not admit my admiration
Those black eyes would consume me
and Beat me to death, leaving marks of black and purple on my body,
Left by the ink in his pupils
But still
When they meet mine,
Like the earth directly between the sun and moon
A lunar eclipse buries me
Sombras loving me coldly in an unaware glare
I turn red before I completely disappear
I look away quickly before I can no longer stand
I would live and die to drink the love from this man

Terrence Loves You Lyrics by Lana del Rey
I lost myself when I lost you
But I still got jazz
When I've got those blues
I lost myself and I lost you too
And I still get trashed, baby
When I hear your tunes
I put the radio on
Hold you tight in my mind
Isn't it strange that
You're not here with me?
Put all the light's on, and the television
Trying to transmit, can you hear me?

Waiting for you by my blinds
Waiting to see those headlights
Red, white
Yellow streetlight shining into me like a distant planet’s star
A godless planet, so far
From here.
Dozens of minutes go by
You only live 15 minutes away..
this heart has me throbbing further into pain
My patience waning slowly into the next day
Like the moon oscillating between complete, and dark.
Yellow street light streaming in,
So alien, hovering over me like god itself
Straining my eyes and flickering sardonically
Beaming into my dark room.
Wishing for a drive by
Take me to my doom.

Letter to No One.
03-17-2022
There was a quote recently that I had heard on Euphoria that captured an aspect of how I think. The quote says, “Memories Exist Outside of time”. It made me think of all my golden memories from relationships, how they seemed to have been scattered outwards like seeds into fertile soil. It made me think of that sunny day, my vitality, energy, and hope. The hope that this day would last longer than a solstice, but that something beautiful would grow from it regardless.
I’m sending this to you because I need you to understand that memories aren’t the only things that are eternal. My love exists out of time, and regardless of how things end, I need you to understand that my love is always with you and it always has been. I will always think of you in a positive light, and if you ever need me but feel like you can’t reach me, I can be found in your heart as well. Talk to me when you can or when you want whether in person, out loud in a prayer of sorts, or even in a dream. I guarantee that I will hear or feel your message.

A mercurial coin slipping out her purse
And landing on its wedge,
Spinning, dazzling silver sun shooting into my eyes
The piece of metal singing a scryer’s song
I could watch it dance on the earth all night long.
It’s negative image captured in my retinas like an eclipse
My sight fleets from the coin back into the woman’s aged blue eyes and dark red lips
As I see her spit as she curses and digs for a dirty dollar
Gray hair hanging and flapping in the breeze like silver chains
Green hooked nose dipping down and flinging back up like a fishing rod
“Crucify it like Jesus”, blasts out of her lips as she slaps out a blood stained, red dollar
To that man.
Oily sweat banished from her skin, it’s rain blackening the sod
How knotted her fingers,
Her body; so jagged, how odd
The man behind me,
Scoffing a gruffly scoff
Muttering words so gobblish,
Sounds escaping his mouth,
Landing and flapping, like a beached jellyfish
His cold shadow drinking my warmth
How strange his words,
Like hornets, they swarm
He grabs me by collar and pushes me by my neck
Her Yellow Nails searing into my wrist and infecting me with the most demonic worms.
Midnight Laughter brutalizing my feelings and punching my ribs.
Teaching me the fastest path to speak dancing words

When was the last time someone remembered who you were,
And used that memory to accept who you’ve become?

Black tea
Swirling, steaming
Crisp and clear tears dropping, sending ripples into the opaque,
Somber thoughts collected into an obsidian
Pool, expanding from a cup into an ocean
The flowers you gifted me skate and dance over the water,
Pink rose petals soaking into blackness,
Red and white incarnation petals blessing the darkness with passion and purity
Beautiful smells fade into an ombré from pink to black,
Love fading into the bitter smell of black tea
Replacing you, replacing my source of energy

the satellite stretches its bat wings
leathery black & aluminum gleam
landing on our sunset sleep
tongue pulls bleed colors up
camera eyes all shining & blink
fly off you massive satellite bat
go hide in your far away star nursery
but still please send us our awestruck

Fideo
I remember
Coming home from a cold day
Coming home from a long day
Feet cold, toes numb
I remember
Coming home from a rainy day
Jeans wet and covered in mud
Arms bruised in grays, blues,
Some already fading from time in greens
Pain bleeding from my arms in lines
I remember
Coming home,
Blue bowl filled with fideo on the dark wood table
Sadness bursting into flames from the taste of Chile del monte
nerve tingles scraped away by the seeds
Broth: orange from the salsa, noodles tan
Green Cilantro hands holding it all together
Key Limes, acidic, melting away the taste of metal in my mouth
I thought this moment would last forever, in a way it did
Everything faded nice and sublime with time,
But the pulp remained
Lime dissolves everything with time
Even the pain.
