Pestilence

Literature / Poetry / Human Nature / Free Verse

A hole
I feel my shins for breakage;
joints sway in dumb rhythm.

There is honey in all my recesses
the caverns of me no one plumbs;
sweetness here, you never taste.

Empty boxes
inside my bones, the cells leached
of feeling, by you, my Black Death.

Yersinia, you come from the east
and ravage me, needle-tongue licking
flesh and fire, oh, consume me.

Dark pit
of love untouched, festering
in darkness. The plague moves on.

PhotographsYou remind me of my father's father,
the one I never claimed as mine;
empty accent drained of location,
filling stiff silences with requests
for lemonade. Bland hands overworked
in the insides of machines, etiquette
that overwhelms any intimate connection.

[I want always to be touched, reminded
that I am human and existent, scouring
hands searching breasts and thighs
for scant evidence of perfection.
(Don't bother, you won't find any.)
I am a commodity, to be enjoyed
and destroyed at will. Use me
or lose me.]

Perhaps it is my tendency to seek
old faces in new eyes, comparing
each new acquaintance against
the vile biters that came before.

Blind SpotsI am the first to identify
every emergency exit.
Turn off the gas main
in the event of a fire.
First to flee immediately
at the whiff of danger.
Perk my ears up, keen
out a warning, and vanish
into the earth.

Overcalculation
is my treasure. Cultivated
from years of beatings, hissed
whispers ringing in my ears.
Smell fear like the healthy
do flowers. But yet still
I cannot tell
when I am trapped.Blind Spots by ~Taralitha

An empty loomUniverse unraveling.
New hollow in my hand,
where flesh dive between tendons,
clean spaces I watch swallow me
with dispassionate satisfaction.
Stomach repels meager nutrition.
Life, an oft-incurable disease,
clings to those who spurn it most.

At 4am I watch the blue turn brighter;
birds sing insensible songs, luring mates,
longing to continue what reptiles started.
Perhaps the sun is expanding, encompassing
us in ignorant sleep: scientists suppress
for fear of terrible horrors
revelation would unleash.

It is not that I am a nihilist. I wash dishes,
sweep floors, tidy space to leave it pure
for future archaeologists. No fatalism
reaps my bAn empty loom by ~Taralitha

Confatalis - dear Regan, fuck you.Done wrong, I am not a forgiving lover.
Claw at all your abscesses, nails dig,
until you weep with your putrescence.
There is not a solitary light I cannot
snuff, nor a door I cannot unhinge.
Slim yourself to the vanishing point
but still not will you shake me.

You pick your rag dolls with care,
seek out the weakest points. Oh,
but calculation is not pure enough.
You were never good at probability.
The statistical likelihood of finding
your match forged in hell, a demon
of fiery good, pitbull wrest wild
your joints, scrap out bile,
was not ever none.Confatalis - dear Regan, fuck you. by ~Taralitha

I found a lump in my breast today, and one of my breasts is significantly enlarged where it wasn't before. I'm scared. I have a gynecologist appointment for Monday, so that will hopefully assuage my fear a bit.
