goddess of the harvest
i hugged a girl with no bones today.
i guess she was deaf too to boot.
she pulled me in like a sunken ship.
and i lay like wreckage afoot.
her boyfriend
shot pellets of lead through his
flute.
to punish her for her cheating.
i hopped on an elevator
to arrive at his paramount.
where she once must have seen him.
i hugged that girl with no bones,
only cartilage. and coughed when
she finally released me.
she obviously didnt hear
the word i whispered into her ear.
