like Trotsky in Mexico by ~PaperRequiem is an energetic, mostly very surprising/creative look at a romance story.

i conjugate apples to apples
replacing you with
syntactic dribble, spilling onto
my shirt, buttoned
collar to crotch
i am marrying words
like you married your
dolls in the seventh grade
the little weddings, bride
a tacky white christmas tree,
white as pearl, crashing into
a cake, breast-like goblets
as the groom snickered
softly to himself
and slipped the ring
down his throat like
a hook on a fishing line.
she was left, a Great Red Spot
on her Jupiter panties,
a glazed wreck
on the tongue of red velvet.
i break myself on the wheel,
stretched like taffy over a
slow grid, my feet raped
by icy stirrups.
you both watched gleefully
as Joan of Arc burned as paper,
blowing into dust.
he said he wanted your smell
he said he wanted your taste
he wanted to wake up,
his breath all in yours,
his socks, bunched in a
corner of the room
he wanted your children,
and he wanted your life.
but i guess i am just
Trotsky in Meixco,
an icepick in my head.
from afar,
i caught a glimpse of
a disaster
hanging like a lightbulb in
the back room,
and yet I pushed my tongue
forth like a plow
as you held me steadily,
softly,
even cradled,
legs outstretched
on a blanket
making snow angels.
and now, this very bed
we shared is a chamber of secrets
which I harbor, a crate of scorpions,
and when I sleep,
I become your liver,
your kidney,
your pancreas,
your bile.
i could helplessly
collapse in your lawn,
waiting for your window to
open, but instead,
I just grow into the moss,
the grass
swallowing me
whole (just as you did).

Ndinonzi
My name is Rufaro. I'm turning nine soon. I like going to school, even though I have to walk a long time to get there, because I can meet my friends. Some of them are from other villages, and I wouldn't see them if I didn't go. I like some of my teachers. Ms Machegutu is very nice. She says I'm a good pupil, and maybe I can go to high school if my grades are good. I don't think I will, Baba doesn't make enough money. He gets drunk very often, Amai says it's because times are hard. I don't understand. Times have always been hard.
My name is Tendai. I'm 22. I've been living in the capital for 4 years now. Even though I have my A-levels, it's h

napoleon at seven
an old guitarist sitting
on a watercolor hill,
plucking on six strings absent.
two halves of breasts running near
under van gogh's starry night,
under black-white guernica.
everything in all jigsaws,
everything in trepid cubes.
a girl before a mirror
with violin and guitar,
sitting with three musicians
and a woman with her book,
stippling all realities
of intangible maternity.
hours yielding from dalí's clock,
minutes sub-the alchemist
like rain, like raining, like rained—
portraits wilt with abstract smiles.
clear sfumato, oh still life,
napoleon at seven.

Too Late
It's too late, buddy. Your attempts at appeasement
on this post-fuck armchair have long since lost their strength.
It's too late for sweet words and oh-so-fucking soft kisses -
too late for you to try to win this oh-so-dirty fight.
You thought you'd won -
I thought you'd won.
We both saw predator and prey and knew which we were,
and I was falling for your flights of fancy, succumbing
to your every sensual desire, seeing situations
where I was yours completely; I saw myself fading.
I was your possession, not even a person, a plaything.
My cunt was a cup from which you supped at will
and hi

I've been meaning to the post this. This could be my final word on the matter. I need to get past it.

I found this an image-rich narrative, rendered simply and directly. It shot straight into those dark memories of mine that have experienced the same.
