Rookie Bull

Her lungs fill with introspection Smoke curls around the possibilities Her rookie year of freedom Free from the dumb Now she is the terrorist Unreasonable A raging bull in a house of mirrors Shattering glass with each buck Making no apologies for shards that may impale On occasion she takes a piece of that glass Cuts open the wound and digs around Expelling the infection Making it bleed again Murderous chemotherapy Killing the good along with the bad Don't invite the bull to the tea party Her stamina doesn't recede Bitter is lovely in coffee and females Many moons ago an ageless bride Used up and tossed aside Now the rookie finds herself New to the bull fight Serenity is her only vengeance Verbally painting pictures Of what still resides inside

Closet of Deception

Ghosts need a body to thrive A host to haunt with its own past Fresh skeletons Climb into old closets Dripping scarlet The rotting remains of lies All there is to survive Hanging from the rod Amongst the winter wardrobe Colored with deceit The death of a dream Rattles the hangers Vintage and couture adornments Hide the decaying secrets within

The Crown of Crohn's

It hurts Waves of pain Rain an assault Fistulizing Intestines wrenching A colon's Indian sunburn It is invisible Constant and unyielding The beautiful illusion on the outside Holds the ugly masterpiece within It forces food into an enemy What sustains induces more pain Does not nourish Not eating is no option Is no cure Is no solution Immunity feeds on itself Gnawing on disease The crown of Crohn's Unwanted adornment A mind that has never seen so clearly A body that never ceases to be weary

Food Poisoning

Tainted Society doesn't want a spinster with right brain rage Allergic to minsters Wretching on the page What use is a woman scorned Used up youth and vigor Snarky sadness adorned A spurned figure Life is like that person speeding up so you may not pass A turn without a blinker A slowpoke in the fast Even a hot mess catches a cold now and then Frigid shivering, naked, and cleansed The oldest bread can make the best croutons Provide nourishment just the same as a prime piece of meat to munch on Everything fresh will be reduced to rot No matter how many preservatives its got Once it hits the digestive juices It all turns to shit in the end Beaten into submission By our own abuses
