More from ~bailey--elizabeth

so kill me, mockingbirdi once said, listen up,
because here's the way
it's going to work:

there will be milky ways
and mountains and clouds
dancing with rain,

the sun won't quite
look the same, and the moon
won't seem so dull.

i once said, come closer,
because there's something
that you need to know:

at night we'll breathe
against each other, move
with each other,

and our delirious melodies
will wake the waves
and shake the stars.

i once said, stay here,
don't go, never ever
leave me:

but here i am now,
eating my words
from a silver platter.

Cierra, 2005seven year-old prey
for juvie girls
eleven and thirteen
with sloppy hair
and sloppy clothes,
bragging about broken noses
bloody faces, and the places
they were forced to go
as though it even mattered to me
in the wake
of a seven year old crying
because iron plated hearts
don't know how / don't care to stop
the violence.

forgotten little girl
perpetually restless,
i took her in at 12
when the nurses and the techs
could not break us apart

little girl with a broken heart, she
told me that her parents
didn't want her
anymore--

why are you so nice to me
she asked when i talked down the angry giants,
and i said aloud, i said to her
because you

Brain WaspsBrain Wasps
by kenny

I am on the verge of tears. Why is this so hard? I think furiously, twirling the cylinder of Chapstick around in my fingers. I shut my eyes tight and try again.
I reach out to set the Chapstick on the nightstand beside my bed, but seconds after I release the tube I have to grab it again. Wrong, the brain wasps tell me, you have to get it just right.
I briefly consider hurling the thing across the room, but I know that I’ll just have to get out of bed to pick it up again. I am trapped in my own compulsions.
I know it’s stupid, and that’s part of what’s bothering me so much. Why can’t I just p

^Kaz-D Jun 18, 2013 39 comments
