I Die Every Hour/Within Irises

I I die every hour, watching you conform to all the ideals you were never meant for. You were never meant for… If only you would fall between my lines. I write to you honestly, my messy love, before midnight. I love you truly, complicated heart. You beat against your cage— rage against the cage

Phantom Pain

  Thought I’d felt my heart stir. Make my hands into shovels and dig up the garden, again.   Goddamned, I am. There it is, feeding the weeds.   © Kindra M. Austin (image: Pinterest)

Shrapnel

And I feel them all, hearts that break out loud– shatter rib cages. Let me sweep up the shrapnel; I’ll glue you back together.      

Fodder For Your Flame

Set me on fire I wish to burn as you do Come to me at night I prefer you in black, babe Your heart is most visible
