There is another me that climbs into your window at night.
She has soft hungry lips that latch onto your warmth,
Leaving perfect red lipstick kisses in secret places.
Her lengthy limbs tangle with yours
As you whisper plaintively,
"No, darling, no."
I hardly paid mind
as they cried out Frida Kahlo
until I heard you speak her name
Frida you called me
as I sat on the edge of the bed
wet with sweat
shivering
never mind the pain darling
I hate to worry you
fingers resist as I type her name
wondering who is this Frida
the woman you pledged I could become
you swore she was beautiful yes
despite the uni brow
this diva
whose paintings fetch the highest price
for a woman
a slew of lovers men and women both
tumultuous love between affairs
a husband twenty years her senior
an artist
I wonder if you knew
but you are no panzon
I cannot help but laugh wondering
are you Diego Ri
I want to write rough and raw and unbearable
the way cigarettes taste at midnight
to a tired atheist knocking on a locked church door
wondering whether to pray or scream
I want to write cold and brutal and honest
like fog-choked dawns on unfamiliar city streets
when the silence presses behind your eyelids
and breathing feels like blasphemy
I want to write like the midnight air that burns the back of your throat
like cold fury and boiling hatred
like the panic that eats into bone marrow
the fear that runs prickling fingers down twisted spines
I want to write of you and me and everything
pin
There is another me that climbs into your window at night.
She has soft hungry lips that latch onto your warmth,
Leaving perfect red lipstick kisses in secret places.
Her lengthy limbs tangle with yours
As you whisper plaintively,
"No, darling, no."
Prints are now available. I'm submitting for the first time. Figured I oughta give it a go. Maybe there's someone out there just dying for an ~addictivepoison magnet? Doesn't hurt to try _K_
So I'm adding some old stuff, editing others and getting things going like I've meant to. Which means more freaky pictures. Someday soon, I hope, I'll post up sketches, another thing I've meant to do. Show me some dA love _K_
