"Mystique"

by _broze

Bowl full of blackberries bathed in sunshine. The counter tall for baby to reach. Music buttered the walls of that home, best hid the asylum beneath. Melodies finely tuned to tickle any lending ear… help twinkled so discreetly...

"Echo Chamber"

by _broze

Aches run through body like blister- red fault lines. Plates left askew like abandoned family meal times. Words’ve become so few, falling through air like rocks on still lakes. I am here, ...not lucid....

"Faithful Folks"

by _broze

I felt my soul shrink today. One crashing moment is all it took. A nasty beast that reared it’s teeth and with just a look, far-fetched was forced forefront. I’d jump down on one knee if it could protect that he under a cloak of pure di...

"Broken Twigs"

by _broze

Ancestral songs have echoed among us, gently padding the air. Amber in color, full of light and love. Shielded from adversity, their lives have afforded us so much. Born to fields of grain, bounty bestowed upon our experience of reality. Wo...

"Tides"

by _broze

We have been walking this coast for many years now. Initially, hobbling along picking up shells, rocks, and shimmery things like kids at the park. As the tides have come and gone, moons've risen and run on, I have noticed that not much ca...

"221 West Neck"

by _broze

I was held together by her humble hands for so long. I watched delicate skin weather to a blue-gray. As time would have it, her mind began to drift away... away to a place only she knew. A place I wish was always safe and warm with a fres...

"Social Median"

by _broze

Unlike many, I never became a writer. Writing was never something that happened to me. Eloquence of speech rarely echoes from lips More so drips in fine lines along starches of paper, Contained delicately-no- deliberately between red an...

"Enthralled"

by _broze

Body hung on bone zippered in by seams of skin, sand colored. His mouth curled toward the sunny shore. I had never loved him so extremely before. The breeze danced between us incrementally, sweet. Representing love that could relieve. T...

"Tired 1"

I hear train bells as they clumsily clatter through the emptied streets behind the farm. I have grown to fit this bed, to pay this rent. Truth be, my feet still stretch out on a quest for more linen. I remember being her...hopeful. Withou...

"Mah"

I don’t even have space for you in my memory. My head is stuffed like turkey with fallacies of union between what is native and what has filled the void. Who I have become is a large percentage of natural flavors being added to a mix th...

"Drunken Dancer"

by _broze

When my mind wants to dance, I always hold her heels. Bare feet... She likes to hold the floor with the grasp of ten toes. Unpolished, but worn to a neat edge- the product of a sneaking shoe. She likes Bare feet. A reminder...

"#45"

I wish Donald Trump 4 am-fall on to any hard/supportive surface- menstrual cramps The kind that make you grind your teeth when a man speaks of you as if he knew a thing of being woman. The kind you'd remember during your eleven hour, mini...

"It’s been ages"

by _broze

Hands haven’t held, hips haven’t hugged, since January. Lips’ve licked lonesome tears as they cascaded down cheeks of lover longing. Today isn’t tomorrow until it’s exed-off of the countless collection of days caged in the neat...

"A Convection Conception"

by _broze

English, a pastry baked in a circular disc. Lacking edge- Buttery utterances that when in synch with certain times, are comfort food. Flaky, as words are fleeting like simple crumbs submitting to gravity's will. Thin, as we often guar...

"Our Own."

I am a woman. A tulip bulb planted within my mother before the growing season. Blossoming while others are set to seed. Ready, emerging -beautifully so. A flower, followed by leaves that cut; never to bleed. Breasts that hang like our...

"Coins for a Piggy Bank Heart"

He has lips of a sweet plum's paste, thick, warm, and textured. They kiss in layers, peeling back the pages I've written outside of his arms. They undress my shoulders as they make their way down my neck. A gentle, but apparent, graze...

If only you could write her thoughts from behind those oval eyes. from underneath that choppy, frayed, bang from deep within that powdery, brie skin. You may learn that she's the most eccentric flavor that has ever swept your palette. S...

"Pier Pressure: Sunny Dock"

The sun shines bright here. It intoxicates the population of beasts with a sip of a faux reality. Sure, there are umbrellas. But who wants to shield from a sun that warms the wiry flesh, as it cools the Earth's core- with the buzz of a...

"I see my shadow in the street"

Grab me, squeeze me, hold me dear. To leave this box, is something I irrationally fear. To bounce around is all I ever knew- like a friendship that never bothered to grow root. Mentally, I lug around the scars of a past I survived....

"plastic bag"

by _broze

A dirty, filthy grime. Seat me over there beside the window, For a sip of the air that isn't fresh. For a bite of a view that isn't natural. To chew, gag, and swallow in chunks. To see a dog on a leash- Choked, but fed by humanity. T...
