Sending Icebergs

It’s like a birth but it is in reverse never gets better, always gets worse

14 notes

Heads
falling from shoulders
freezing in clouds
up in space
stuck in gutters

necks
not tall enough
to catch sunsets
or
to let lovers
bite through

shoulders
without any devils
or angels
on them

chest
carved out
like graves
and trenches
your beloved dead
nestled forever
like an embrace

hips
that chip concrete
and slam into nudity
as if trying
to kill sperm
before it comes out

legs
that run
or tap
or shake
every
and
anywhere

and feet
so riddled with language
and direction
you’d spend twenty years
just to figure out
how to dance.
