Love and Staples

I'm going to staple your eyelids open
so that I may gaze into you

Hold still, so I can tighten the ropes about you
I love having you close to me
Hush, precious
broken fingers mend
I'll hold the glass to your lips when you thirst
Do you thirst for me, lover?
We have all the time in the world now
to be together
I will stroke your cheek
and smile as tears of joy slide down your face
This is what you wanted, right?
To be with me?

Your eyes say so
The soul never lies

Ah, it's a good life I discovered just a scant few months ago. My friend, plus-size model Teslyn Butler , who I met at a commercial shoot, recommended me to a local designer named Niehla Ollie who was in dire straights for a Caucasian, curvy model. After sending a few snapshots through email, Niehla agreed to use me for a small photo shoot. I was folded into an enthusiastic embrace in her apartment and immediately put into make-up while I learned the basic ins-and-outs of plus

Recovering Black Widow

Wound silver yarn around the sunflowers It's shining in the dark like an insistent spider worked overnight to keep the garden from falling over I am a black widow, you know It's how I learned to weave so well I have poisoned and twisted more hearts than I care to remember Infecting them slowly, untraceable so they come willingly into the web Besotted prey is the best Drunk on what they believe is love I have been tangling them since the moment we met
