Soliciting sales and donations across all shrike platforms after expensive repairs knocked me into the red. I'm a working trans artist trying to get stable after a year homeless. Working two jobs, could use a hand getting out of overdraft.

Consider the Orgue Chandelier

3 and a half years of blood on the ground. Not enough
Consider the Orgue Chandelier Such a pretty mouth. Every opening pours, a fountain of deceit. This guard only speaks lies. Pose, strut, vogue. Got them all watching, World wrapped on your finger, Make them squirm. Met you on the way out, A stint in the capital. The two of us nestled In the mouth of the bay. Saw your viper's smile, And the charm of devils. Saw something else, too. Saw the human in you. My heart moved, Prepared to strike, My hand stayed, I would be the friend you need. 1,000 Fuck You Forevers. 999 You're Not So Bads. Would endure a thousand more, If you needed me. But you cast me out, Cursed my name, Damned my heart, Mocked my nature. Spent the years Trying to figure you out. Find wonder in me one moment, Or find desolation the next. I clawed at the dirt ceiling, In the grave you left me. Begged the human in you, To see the friend I was Now I know the truth, That there's nothing there, The weakness I saw, An angler fish's bait. There is no Marli, No succubus queen, No heartless machine, No scared little girl. Just cavernous echoes, And tricks of light. Gotta say, You look divine, Sound honeysweet. But that's about all, right? A sexy lamp With an engineering degree. By now my love's spent, Appealing to the better nature, Of a spider, Attending to other flies in her web. Tell me to leave, And this time I think I will. Don't think I can save you, Don't think you want that. So I'll hit the road, Memories of sweetness for warmth. 1,000 fights failed to separate, What now ends with a period.

Rest the Western Front

A final conversation with an old guide
Rest the Western Front Christmas Eve, You drop a hint. For me or not, Seized and heeded, either way.  Two women Two warriors Sat across a digital table, A parley for the day.  Got me all wrong, But what did you ever get right? And me much the same, Trying to draw your outline. Trap sprung, Ratgirl takes another loop. The bar that snaps her neck, Would fail to still her heart.  Right where you want me, Another trip to the airlock. Out of reach, Always in view.  Call it war, Call it a feud, Call it grim work, Call it the way we coexist.  Six weeks and change,  A year and a half after.  Say I started it,  But you’ll be back.  Demand I stop baiting The thirst of your blade.  Though I’d argue, I didn’t resurrect us. Wretched half-life, Vampires beating the corpse, Of the friendship That should’ve stayed buried.  Declare you owe me nothing, I know, I know. It is I who owe you.  No submission,just honor.  11 writs, 50 some poems, The fire you light under me, Pushes me out, runs me faster.  Ended in a second, Retreat and regroup,  We die tomorrow, we live forever.  Trenches dug by shared disdain.  Saw my chance, took it.  As real as I’d ever be.  Told you what it meant. You respond in kind, I say you matter to me, You tell me to buy a hooker.

Empress of Shattered Earth

There are only two stories, go forward or die
Empress of Shattered Earth Your father rules over a paltry kingdom, But that's alright. Got everything you need, Stashed in a bag, Stuffed under the seat. Lip stain, a lighter, a knife. A girl's best friends. A life on the run, Isn't so bad. Rule over the roads, And the shadows that conceal. Make this land your domain, A place for your beloved. She sees you, Tells you you're the light refracted, In the twinkling angles of broken glass. Perhaps she's right, Though maybe she just idealizes The ships burning in the bay. Hard to fathom, How long you've been out to sea. The fire claims the vessel, Immolates its crew. The sole survivor the captain, A woman staring out at a shore You know you'll never see. By whip, by touch, by exile, By the cold of night. Would drive anyone to madness. No surprise it broke you. Left your body years ago. A puppeteer of your own flesh, And a stranger to yourself. At the end of the movie, With the climax played out, Your hand bursts from the rubble. Credits roll, audience carries on. Not for you, For you the story begins. A life lived in the aftermath. Whether by blessing or by curse, You survived. Long may you reign.

For the poor souls who make eye contact getting a slurpee

-R. Maria Brigsdottir
7-11, 9:27 PM R. Maria Brigsdottir I fear you, stranger in my way. Made to share moment brief, To share this space too small. I fear you, Eyes I cannot read. A smile hollow, Is that a smile? I hate you, Enemy, alien, unknown. Seed of Esau, Born of adversity. I love you, Fellow wandering soul. Human, same as me. More alike than not. I weep for you, Child of the Last Age. Swallowed by that cold maw, Shoulder to shoulder. I hope for you, Your joys and triumphs. That you bring beauty, Into a world grown dark. I fear me, What you must see. Half mad and scourged, Less than once was. I fear you, Thoughts a mystery. Will you kill me? Would that be so bad? I fear you. I fear you.

Notes on Nullification Procedure 1331
Notes on Nullification Procedure 1331 -R. R. Balfe Who are you When it all falls away Monks would kill for this tranquility But you don't much feel a thing Music bleeds emotion All true, all true Sealed in the depths Never to rise Will they ever see? Will you? Spark up Inhale too sharply Cough until you choke Laugh Because it's all you can do Starved crops begging for the rain For when you finally cry

A year ago, I got into poetry. 50 pieces and I'm preparing to cut it into a print poetry collection: Into the Hendecan Mirror

The Watcher, for my dear stalker

#poem #poetry #poetrycult
The Watcher -R. R. Balfe Another day, what should be the aftermath. A number on a screen tells me you're still here. Still here, above and beyond, out of reach. I should feel safe, my guardian angel, but you're no protector. Your hate oozes down my spine, sickening and foul. "Am I as hideous as you say?" I type the thought, close the screen, and move on. You'll be there when I'm back, you'll always be there. What did I do to deserve this curse? What did you do to be bound in kind? That whenever I act, you watch. Still here, still here.
