"Whose fault is it, if I get raped in my dreamsand then when I'm awake, I destroy menand don't even realize what I'm doing or whymy mind is diverging them into torn and broken
rubble stuffed in one sandwich bag after another?It's not like they're all just pieces of meat and

it's not like we're nothing but holes..."

some lines from my poem "DISPOSAL"

"This is a compilation to behold. It holds nothing back, and does not deny itself the pleasures of the flesh: horror, macabre, and the grotesque find their home here.

My Two New Poetry Chapbooks - side by side!

"My stomach is churning
into a giant container
of gelatinous tapioca pudding.The last time I remember liking puddingwas when I was a little girl.Now it just makes me gag.
I see a mean nursing home attendant force feeding pudding to the eldersshe doesn't like, even if they told her not towhen they could still speak for themselves
and open their own mouths by choice.

When I could still speak for myself,
I told them I didn't like their fucking pudding. Now that I can't tell them to stop,they'll shove as much of it inside me as they canuntil I choke on tiny clots.
some lines from my DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS...

"I'm too young for girdles.I'm too old for weekly waxingoff the pussy hair. Off with my head,with my mixed-up, middle-aged digits.
One side fine tuned, trimmed, and bleached;the other side a hairy, dirty, blood drenched mess,screaming like a decimated blow torch."
some lines from Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails

I'm adding a photo that includes both of my two NEW May 2019 poetry chapbooks

The first one is DARK PURPLE INTERSECTIONS (inside my Black Doll Head Irises), which I recently self-published through Blood Pudding Press, for the Dusie Kollektiv 9. It will soon be available online in a free PDF version, but a hand designed print version can be purchased from the Blood Pudding Press shop HERE - https://www.etsy.com/listing/689260672/new-dark-purple-intersections-inside-my?ref=shop_home_feat_1

The second one is Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails, with cover art by Craig Firsdon, filled with disturbing poems, published by The Poet's Haven, and officially available the last day of May (TODAY)! That one can be acquired through The Poet's Haven HERE - https://boutique.poetshaven.com/AuthorSeries?product_id=159

(If anyone would like to purchase both at the same time directly from me, PM me.)

Another Set of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails has arrived!

"I don’t know what made me
so sharp edged. I don’t know what hung me
above the undertow and made me watch

my own stingers grow, buzz more fiercely,
overtake then undertake the moon,
maroon my hive into a mutant cocoon."

Part of my poem, "Fault Lines in My Mouth", which appears within my new chapbook, "Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails", newly published by The Poet's Haven! I received my author copies in the mail today!  Here's a photo!

I received my author copies of "Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails"!

"Maybe I'm a witch bird with one broken wing.
You want to break off my other one and stick it in
your box of right and wrong and tell me
what I should do and who I should be.

Maybe I only have one eye left and you
can hardly wait to cut it off,
sew something different inside
my ripped hole, teach me another lesson
for everything I’ve done with my empty sockets.

Create me anew, the way you want me to be
instead of letting me be
my own contorted self."


Part of my poem, "Broken Baby Bird Mouth", which appears within my new chapbook, "Another Set Of Ripped-Out Bloody Pigtails", newly published by The Poet's Haven!
