from Scary, No Scary ┼ In the woods is an old abandoned hotel. Trees grow inside of it. Limbs jut out of the windows as if the trees were wearing the hotel like a boxy pink prom dress like a dirty white tuxedo. 1000 empty rooms with mirrors. In all of them I’m this hotel. You’re a long shiny line ═ What color was your prom dress? I am sorry I missed your birthday party. I’ve been hollowing. I saw you floating face down in mid-air. Remember when we would swim in the lake, how soft our bodies were, how we would disappear in the black water, how the lake too would disappear? I only touch other trees when it is windy, but they are actual trees. You can make light with any two things if you rub them together long enough. Dear Evelyn, It itches after a leaf falls. The only way I can die is slowly. ╖ It has rained 13 times. I am hunched over in the doorway of my house. I am planting trees. I am building a very impressive hotel. I am drowning in a lake shaped like a person. I am asleep or worse in a boat. I am sawing off my Siamese twins. I am crawling into your mouth. I am being eaten by a carnivorous flower. I am putting on a carnivorous flower costume. I am pouring myself a glass of water. I am pouring the water on myself. This is how carnivorous flowers drink. But it is raining. back |
