An angel folds her wings,
admitting defeat under her breath.
She gives up gives out and gives herself to the demons drooling for dinner.
Devastated at the state of the world,
she inhales deeply to find the air
crisp and sharp and
stabbing her from the inside out.
Like a slap in the face,
my cunt has relinquished its comatose state of being.
**
Scissors
cutting through the manipulation of my gender,
I have recreated a dichotomy
within myself.
She is a little boy,
lost and confused,
brutal and bare,
fighting battles with unknowing demons.

I remember being excited when i could get one SENTENCE out of my sleep-dream-not-quite-awake state of not-quite-being... so why do i put so much pressure on myself to write beyond a paragraph? My painting has become more and i have started to be able to draw with intention. I have drawn a beautiful cello-lady, whom i may very well tattoo on myself. Perhaps she is the amalgamation of my wanting to learn how to play the bass and my woman-self emerging childless.
