They tangle togetherpleading for the vines
to save Her as
the string has been cut
by the sword.His horns wrapped around
Her neck, a goat
disguised as a monkey to
give temporary blisstouch Her body and
grab Her roots, pull
until there's no reason to
object at allHis lips were not
meant to be kissed.
by Hers, denying praise in
favor of fulfillingthe selfish need to
recognize Himself, petals to
be torn apart and dissected
consumed by manthe scent of intoxication
embedding Himself into Her
system, a place to call
home. perhaps nevercinnamon cardamom ginger clove
black pepper star anise
mix it with ashwagandha mushroom.
He is boiling.sobriety lost and stripped
away revealing a new
layer of color inch by
inch modern artand She is the
canvas milky white landing
on lines of red now
old and driedmemories and thou has
made Her a whore
thank Him for bringing the
gift of lonelinessonto Them both.

Abigail Jimenez

It is time for the produce selection
Buzzards flock to feast on the sweet meal
Ripe and silent is their raw obsession
The fruits who no longer know how to feelPlucked from the tree of desire and thrown
Flung towards a growing mass of soft flesh
Molded together to service a bone
And touched until it is no longer freshThe birds will not stop pecking the dry skin
Now bruised and torn apart by this cruel kiss
Slurping the pulp unaware of their sin
They hunger to stay in eternal blissThe now abandoned fruit sings it's sad song
Rotten with a seed that does not belong
