words.

excerpts from a language only the earth remembers.

i.

“my love, have i mistaken you for an angel?
truly, i've laid bare my defenses,
a mere sheep to the slaughter,
a lamb to your altar.”

— kat., “consumed.”

ii.

“breathe, and just be, she hums in the stillness,
like a hymn without sound,
and i remember i am still holy,
even when i feel hollow.”

— kat., “moon.”

iii.

“how sweetly she weeps into
the depths of her own subconscious.
why does one with such deep thought
feel so lonely?”

— kat., “ghost.”

iv.

“what am i, if not this myth blooming wild,
descendants telling stories around fires,
of a woman who was born from one.”

— kat., “transcendence.”

v.

“wake me up, i was asleep,
am i even still alive?
i linger on why the earth is not awake,
but forget that most are afraid to die.”

— kat., “veil.”

vi.

“my hunger grows deep,
the darkness in me craves the touch of one
demonized for free thought.
my intense desire hangs on a string,
and it's beginning to grow teeth.”

— kat., “esurience.”

vii.

“your hands around me in hunger,
haunting, on your knees,
a starved man, and i'm something holy.”

— kat., “you.”
