		<description> And they'll come

out of blue jalopies

hard, and hoping

to score higher

than their fantasy

football team.



She won't come

willingly, but they will

take it from her in

their leather seats

ripe with

organic and

red lace.



(souls are cheapest

with a bottle of wine

and cleavage)



In the mirror she

won't see a slut -

she was a virgin once,

and only spread her legs

to anyone willing

to part;



smoked cigarettes in her

mother's closet

full of

organic and

red lace.



Eventually she'll

look into the mirror,

again,

think of when they

took it from her -



and see she's older

than she used to be.  ... more  </description>

		<description> 
I am not
the peaceful owl
sleeping
inside the raging storm
  I am the tempest
seething blackness
blinding charcoal
clouds my air  
I am churning, ruptured
jagged lightening
edges chewing
shredding heart, liver,
bowels, carving pieces
of mouth, lips and tongue


I gag on flesh, and blood and teeth
my voice the sounds of thickened liquids
overflowing raw trembling flesh
shouting thunder jolts my bones
smashing like dry branches
crushing and grinding the broken ends
the sharpened shards slicing muscle  
I search for the owl's tree
old and steady
small and unafraid
but he is not visible to me
my soul the shredding thunder is
lost in pewter clouds
