superstitious woman

In the morning
she jerked him off
and had him
cum in the cups of her
bra and then
he watched as she put it
on and went about the
rest of her day like
that

She worked as an
elementary school teacher

believed in the
horoscope

and witchcraft

and aliens

and demons

and told the students in
her class that
her dead husband reincarnated into
her dog and every morning
she took his seed to
hold in her bosom for good luck

It definitely worked
because she got a raise in
the next few weeks

heavy cross, tight shackle

The house doesn't feel like home,
mother. Not since you
left for the other world
after father left for another house
from outside town

Now there's just me
here. And my older brother who
is younger than me mentally
and will remain so for the rest of his life
He still hears whispers
coming from every dark corner of
the house
and because of this our electric bill
is enormous

I can no longer take this

I'm not strong enough

I'm not willing enough

This cross is too damn heavy. It's
breaking my back, breaking my soul

I want to get a better job
and eventually a car
and a wife
and start a family

I can't do that while taking care
of my troubled brother

I quit.

Tonight
I will make his nightmares come true
The electricity will go out
and suddenly the whispers that come from
the dark will become voices and
then screams
and they'll get him

A rabbit can die if it gets too
scared. I believe this is also
valid for my troubled brother. I'll only make
sure to leave a few sharp objects
near him

I know he'll do it

And I'm sorry that he'll do it
but there's no other way to break
this shackle

One day
I'll debate the issue with you, mother
But for now you can't argue with me

so I win by default

empaths

these days a lot of
people call
themselves
empaths

They claim to be able
to feel what
other people
are feeling
and suffer with them

"I cheated on my boyfriend
with his brother," some
girl said,
“and being the empath
that I am
I started crying along
with him when he
found out. It's hard
being such
an empath."

And there was
the guy
who got into a bar
brawl and
knocked another guy's
teeth out
and held a hand to his
own mouth and made
pain noises

I guess he
was an empath too

If you have a
social media account
and don't describe yourself
as an empath
people will think you're some
kind of monster,
a psychopath, they'll compare
you with Hitler

Yeah, it's a good
reason not
to use social media

If you actually
needed another

making it big in a small world

other than
weirded
the fuck out
she didn’t know how
to feel about it

so she read the
words again

SO GLAD TO SEE YOU
ALIVE AND FINE,
LOVE!
ALWAYS KNEW MY DAUGHTER
WILL MAKE IT BIG IN
THIS SMALL WORLD.
LOVE,
DADDY

The words were written
with a black marker
on a $100 bill
that someone threw at
her in the
club
while she was
stripping on the pole

Could’ve been a shitty
prank
but $100 was a bit
too much to spend
for laughs

She tried to
remember the
faces of all the men
who gathered around
her and howled
as she did her number
but they were
simply too many
and too bland

Later that night
she asked the
management to remove
private lap dances
from her list of
services for a while
and
the request was denied

Well, when you make
it big
in a small world
you either carry the
weight of fame
on your shoulders or
get crushed

At least the
money bought a good
dinner for
her little daughter
and the two cats

ultimate art


(づ ◕‿◕ )づ Many thanks for featuring my poem, Arania! 

the female assassin


the ashtray was looking more
and more
like a sick hedgehog

and her yellowed fingers
added one more quill to it

she sat back in her chair

work wasn't in the best of stages lately and
her office looked like a junkie's
trailer. You could
scrape the nicotine
off the walls. In fact, she
would get nicotine under her nails if she
just scratched her skin
anywhere

But otherwise she was
a beauty
and that was a problem. Beautiful
women have the worst
luck in marriages

The husband left and the two girls went
with him
They were sick and tired of her
habit to consume more cigarette smoke than
oxygen

And drinking was also a problem
though not nearly
as big

The worst drinking has ever done to her
was to make her lose
the driving license which she never
bothered to take back

The real problem was,
as always,
a lack of money. If the damn phone didn't
ring soon
she would have to kill someone
for a pack of cigarettes

Assuming she could still
kill
someone with her body rotting from the
inside. She was fine with
breast cancer
but now lung cancer joined too
and it was by far nastier

Still
that was all right
It doesn't take a healthy body to pull
a trigger

And speaking of triggers
She opened a drawer in her desk
took out the gun
studied it

Not loaded

She browsed through the drawer

Only one bullet left. One single bullet.
These things cost money
too

Damn it

But it's like they said back in
the mercenary camp
The last bullet is always preserved to be
used on the self

She loaded the bullet into the
gun

A life lived well is one
lived without regrets and without
ever asking for mercy
or feeling sorry for yourself

At 39
she had that. There was nothing
else to be taken
away from it

She put the gun to her
temple

Smiled

"Except for a final smoke."

king who would go down with honor


he had no shoes
and you could hardly call
his shirt a shirt
but he
sat between those two
trash cans like some king
on his throne

holding to a stick
like a scepter

He drank from an old
rusty can of
beans
but held it like some golden
goblet

Clearly he lost the
ability to
taste because in the can
he mixed all he could
find in the trash

Beer with vodka
with tequila with wine
and acetone
and rubbing alcohol

He had a fearsome guardian
about him
A white dog who constantly
licked his vomit from
the ground

It looked black
and spongy
like coffee grounds

Some passersby offered to help him
and he refused

This was a king who
would go down with honor
after he lost
his kingdom
