1 hey look, there’s something stuck in her mouth.
2 pry it out, let’s see what it is.
3 hey, would you look at that?
4 a picture from when we were kids.
5 i remember that day -
6 it was hot as shit.
7 our hands and tongues blazed like fire,
8 we cooked on each other’s skin.
My sister.
1 i’d like to touch her hair one last time,
2 feel the curls give way to my
3 greedy fingers. she loved my voice,
4 my long tail and the way i looked at the sky.
5 i remember that day -
6 look at her dress. what a dime.
7 what a sandbox prophet.
8 what a lover she’d become.
My sister.
1 look. at 22 years of age,
2 she married a man that looked just like that. (like me.)
3 except he was more cruel and more stupid
4 and the fat hung off him like it hurt.
5 i never forgave her. i burned my tongue
6 on her breasts. and i never forgave her
7 for leaving me crippled and small.
8 and yellow.
My sister,
Her insides are out,
Bloodmoon.
1 chaos. she loved chaos. she loved that
2 her present was not necessarily her future.
3 she loved that this black world could spin and boil
4 and collapse and none of it would matter.
5 she loved my long tail,
6 my green eye, my bitter taste.
7 she loved the scars she gave me,
8 like i loved scraping them open.
My sister,
Her insides are out,
Bloodmoon.
Her glowing tongue,
My sister.
My doom.
