Trigger warning: spooky poetry ahead, blood-related

 

Recently I crave blood

To be smothered in it

I see myself

Smiling

Dripping red all down my face

In my eyes

Through my nose

In my mouth

Through my teeth

It looks like relief

I want to sink into it

A bath of thick, red relief

Hold my breath underneath

It’s warm and i’m smiling

Sinking in my teeth

 

 

 

 

They wrap me with strings

They pull

And bind me

It rubs, tears,

Burns, and drags me

In a constant getaway

Always running

The farthest way

Sometimes I get far

Steering clear

A dark cloud looming

In the distance creeping

Darkest times when it reaches me

 

I am a second year student at SAIC, currently focusing my art practice on printmaking and writing, but I also love to make collages and experiment with video, sound, and installation. I typically like to spend my free time learning more about astrology and tarot, going out into nature, or watching a movie.
