Hannah V Warren
​

Dear Monster
 
I, too, am washed in blood  Extraction  Impulse
116° or -37°     We are all         Empaths    Touching the
insides   Of yesterday’s sickly remains      Sanitize A new
outlook      Contour me  A new face    Mouth      Brows
Ear slope           Poison in my teeth  Circle of blackened
rocks
 
           Little resonant doorways festering in the sunlight
 
            On top of a mountain      Sits a bone    Calcified
Weathered            Pale as moonstone      Monster,
that could be   Your throat    A warped frame      All the
bones   Singing     Harmony of a million thrown  Voices         
Blended in bloodfists
 
xoxo
 
Your pearled dome      Your
 unoriginal sin
Your unwanted pomegranate seeds
