Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
Said you could
Hold it; hold fast
Hold me
That you weren't
Scared
Said the storms
Were worse at sea
That you saw
The sadness underneath
That you loved
The taste of smoke and ash
Of the flame
That burns through
Me

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
Heart shaped glasses
Bottled sadness
The perfume of melancholia
Sold as aphrodisiac
Somewhere between
Smoke and rum
Between the sheets
All is fair
In love and
Other indoor sports

the weight of a life
between a feather and a soul
the weight of life
two lithium batteries
920 grams

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
Call me deadly nightshade
Poison in my blood
Anger sparks cruel words
Inspired desperate actions
That cannot be undone
The weapon my tongue
Bloodsports for the soul

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
The ocean
Gave a gift to me
A coin for passage
Across the sea
To pay the ferryman
Should I need to cross
To light the lanterns
So I won't
Get lost

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
Seeking life among the dead
living like the dead among the living
a ghost haunting city streets
chasing the void--
the dark places/
between the stars and neons

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
Leather hide-wild eye
What should I do
Blackened mind
Borrowed time
Trading pieces
Of myself
For thirty silver coins

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
The thundering pain
The fills my bones
Skin stretched right
A razor blade
Drags out
Never digs in
Can never quite reach
The itch within

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
Parachutes are for girls
Soft beautiful things
gowned in silk wings
Curls, linen, lace
Wisteria eyes
Silver snake tongue liars
Asking for wishes
On evening stars
Forgetting
Even stars fall

Kayleigh Bathurst Poem
Something soft to give
Recoil/repulse
Parachutes
Are for girls
Draped in billowing clouds
Of silk linen and lace
I am a storm
Wrapped in black hide
Hides me
Easy to brush off
After a crash landing
