the girl in the sink
last night, i kissed the wine glass until it cracked from want. i wanted red—not wine. not again. the walls talked in their usual static, soft-lipped murmurs, muffled as a hand over a mouth. i pressed my cheek to the faucet and heard my mother crying through the pipes— or maybe it was me, thirteen years ago, learning how to disappear without moving. there’s a spoon in the bathtub. bent. like my will on sundays. i...

Drowning in sorrow because you are leaving me. I jumped in too soon. As I flail about, will you toss me a life ring, or a concrete block? Both are solutions to my current state of mind over losing you. The first prolongs it, the latter, ultimately, brings on my demise. I need to purge this constant feeling of longing for something that’s gone. This stagnation mode compromises my future and pulls...

Premium Member why dont geckos sink in the sand
Why don’t geckos sink into the sand Disappearing into the promised land? What saves their Arizona lives? What keeps them up? The flaps in between their toes said my Uncle Hup. I thought he was joking, because he is a funny guy So, I looked it up in my gecko book which was way up high He was exactly right, my...

Premium Member I sink deep into the unhappiness of being the one who doesn't deceive you with sweet illusions
I sink deep into the unhappiness of being the one who doesn't deceive you with sweet illusions, I refuse to change who I am for anyone, even for the shadows that surround me. I've detested how easily you allow yourself to be manipulated to accept everything you hear without question, Have I not left a strong enough impression,...

The tap and the sink had a brawl (the pair being stuck to the wall) the cold tap smashed the sink with a crash and a plink; serenely watched by the pee stall. Interposed did tap’s buddy, drain, (who held up the sink with a strain.) Dear sink is in pieces; her value decreases; she once was so smart and urbane!...

It’s always the eyes that hook me, I look into them with glee. One pair after another took me, And I sank into their sea. I have no favorite colours, For my soul always flies Into pair after another Of gorgeous, shining eyes. Their depth, their hues, their magic Like magnets, suck me in; And in such warmth and comfort, To sink I then begin. Into your...
