Swallow your words
Untitled
Swallowed by the waves that birthed me, I shout at the moon as broken winged angels drag me by my bleeding feet.
The scars that mark my skin are all shades of blue. They carry stories I whisper into the angry winds that sweep them back to me.
The sleeping world crumbles under the weight of my tongue, acid words pour
from my blazing chest, my breath sets the skies on fire.
Swollen flesh, aching bone. Kings and queens watch me walk over the line
that goes along their spines and leads nowhere
