(TW Infertility) 

My body is built to bear children.

I must stop comparing my body to those 

of women who are simply built....

differently than I am.

My stretch marks are an atlas of the 

paths I've walked. From adolescence to 

womanhood, I have a story. My body...

Our lamb has finally flashed his mane.
Crashing through the Bush
into the Armageddon plane.
Tail twitching slashing fangs.

He's going to liberate a people shrouded in our blood.
Clean up those weapons of mass destruction.
Make an oasis out of glass oasis theology.

That open palm has turned into a fist...on...

In college I frequently pulled all nighters
And showed up for morning tests somewhat less brighter
     With caffeine and pizza I struggled to stay awake
     And was always prepared for exams to take
To excel on the curve, you...

Right before my eyes
it has begun to wither.
The trust is rotten....

In winter 
Fruitless labor of wind
No leaves to blow off....

Stars adrift on wicked laughter 
dance amidst these April nights. 
Fragile, pristine alabaster 
stars adrift on wicked laughter. 
Tumbling, twirling falling faster 
asterisms cool and white. 
Stars adrift on wicked laughter 
dance amidst these April nights. 

Buds bow down to frozen masters 
claiming spring as...

retched, a stomach twisting curdle
sour, the bile that rises from malcontent
tearful, yet, tears are futile, a waste of water
understanding seems never to come or come too late
all one can do is suck it up and try to love again...

It lies below under linen, feathers, cotton, springs.
Not seen upon it's sow.
A tiny pea without the sun to grow wild and free.
A slight discomfort gnaws away yet timing plays a role each day.
Finally the fruit bursts forth! with quiet whimpers, wears a frown of sorts.

"FRUITLESS DEVOTION"


until she leaves her mother, 
she can't love me.
until she leaves her brother, 
she can't love me.
until she leaves her sister, 
she can't love me.
until she leaves her friend, 
she can't love me.
until she leaves the need for depraved sex,
she can't love me.
until she...

My breath was the first to go
Stolen by the thieves that have attempted to steal so many others'
The thieves that have tempted the honor of the most noble defenders
Stolen from me with no preparation and accompanied by immediate deprivation
As a white daisy deprives the soil...

My pen was once filled
with all the possibilities
of seed,
enlightenment,
even therapeutic denial

but now it's though she's wordless
from all those verses
malady sucked from her bones
when marrow was too thin
and hope was a loveless man
who left via the white horse

My theory is: 
heart truly believed
poems were the wings...

Lock up tight
Don't dare relent
They'll take delight
To see you bent

Paint your face
Dry your tears
Show only grace
To all your peers

Mask your scars
Distort their view
Don't move these bars
They shelter you

If someone sees
Your blood is red
You'll become a disease
On a viral thread

Trace your steps
Leave a trail
A tainted rep
Won't...

Loyalty brings even the fortified few to falter somnambulantly in succession
As if tranced to commit, their convictions are true yet skewed
The blind emotional outburst of bigotry and cynicism conveyed 
Is but a microcosm of what pain these individuals likely feel
Something of an atrocity to be...
