Rushing towards scared vineyard
Emotions fresh, newly healed over
Hoping to not once again spil...

Hostile Architecture

Are iron gates
With spikes that impale anyone
Who dares to perch too long...

Etched in Stone

...If you thrust a dagger into my heart
Lay me on a bed of thorns

Thrash me with a flail
Haul me over the smoldering coals
Hang me over a precipice by
the skin of my t...

Recipe - Successfully

...
     I tried to skin her, but no dice
        Tried again, no luck twice

     Cut her with a knife, an utter failure
        So, I stood her up, tried to impale her

     When that didn’t wo...

The Condor

...Marvelous to see
a condor soar
unlike the ghoul
when landed and picking -- 

master of thermals!

Doesn't mean I think I'm better than a person who chooses to stay unwell
It just means
I'm working on my internal dialog daily, and I'm not perfect, at...

        antlers impale my      v i s c e r a l     veins.
