"Slither"

Careless caress cuts,
softest shards of shattered glass.
Smile saccharine sweet,
lips smacking sin.
Short breaths reek regret,
spitting fucks and Gods
to shake this secret silence.
Lies strangle, stifle sound
as we slither, sifting stained sheets.
Shifting, somehow,
still sitting still.

"Always"

Always the pen finds purchase,
Dauntless, spitting into the void.
With aimless precision, proliferate.
A birth in every wanton stroke,
miracle mess, a fountainhead.
Ink willed builds, burns, brands
bleeds, fluid still
Slips and sticks, inviting,
a kiss from a stranger
that tastes like home.
