With our heads held high
-eyes overflowing with pride-
we'll follow the phantom,
yes, we'll carry on
until The End.

We march to death's tone
-our minds are twisted and bent-
but although we might be dying,
at least we're not yet
Dead!

Our hearts are bleeding
-it will never be enough-
but at least we've got passion
singing in our very
Blood.

We are not afraid to keep on living,
we are not afraid to walk this world alone
for every single one of us wields
The Sharpest Lives
of this generation.

We are the Teenagers
who won't be Disenchanted
-let the fire just bathe us-
we will not Sleep, no,
we live in the House Of Wolves.

Now, to unexplain the unforgivable,
become a slave to society?
-This just ain't living-
Forget it!
-I'll be off to find another way-

The time has come-
put on your black jacket, young soldier,
let our anthem fill your emptiness
and
Welcome To The Black Parade.

(To My Chemical Romance, The Black Parade)

iii.

And once again my chest expands with dragon fangs and teething pains in the splits of my veins, the ouroboros circling around my heart blind and hungry and I hiss as its scales drag across my voice like a blade at the neck of a crying infant. Immortality spins beneath the hollow of my throat and I bleed from the truth, the glass of the world breaking on my back. Take the shards and eat it. There is no life without pain.

I fell in love through a thin sheet of glass Scraping my skin on the shards as it shattered. And I fell asleep reaching for your hands Dreaming of unwritten notes and dial tones. I thought it would taste like pink lemonade, But the way I say your name is metallic. I thought you would be a way to escape, But my wires got crossed and I became lost. You're just chasing residual noise And I'm losing my digital voice.

i fade with stilted shots, the audience waits for me. choking. oh god how could this happen with my throat twisted up and my head bound tight in ropes i'm not sure i want to untie? snap my brittle wrists. i'm losing again, numbers scaling down to a place i should not be. a parasite is swallowing my energy. tests are negative. i breathe. -- just as i drift into pale, fading sleep, his fingernails claw through the material of my skull. i don't know who he is but i remember the wooden floor beneath me the length of my hair catching under my back as i struggle and how it felt when he left me on the floor, limp tear stre

dear sarah, yesterday I tried to swallow the sun. it burned me up on the inside until even my skin was hot to the touch, and I thought of you. I hope you have found better ways than me to feel lighter. heaven knows there are days where I still trade my feet for concrete blocks and try to sprint to the finish line, but at least I have stopped straying towards the riverbanks. at least I get out of bed. most days, that’s enough. but if you tell me that most days life still feels like a choice you’re making every minute, I will tell you that I understand. I have spent years trying to outrun my sadness, sipping sunlight until my vision blurs and looking up only to realize I’ve been going in circles and calling it progress. every escape I ever made is a town I can never go back to and I’m not better for it. I carry so many graveyards around inside of me, and I’ve lost count of how many bridges I’ve burned because I confused loving with leaving. take my sadness away, I don’t

aphrodite passes the blunt to persephone, says you have to tell me how you did that, how you seduced hades and they sit there on the roof, the stars twinkling. persephone looks youthful in a way that’s untouched, as if she’s somehow eternally seventeen or made of sunshine. i didn’t have to do much, she says. and aphrodite who’s spent years reading gossip mags & articles about “ true love ” thinks about how she saw hades take off his leather jacket & wrap it around persephone’s shoulders, easy as breathing. kissed the side of her head. gave

my ask of the witches

not to be critical but in considering the state of our union the state of our world - why have you witches not yet unionized and become more fully engaged? has the time for your focus your concerted action not at long last arrived? we look to the past: slavery genocide the inquisition the black plague World Wars one and two and now - !!! all of which indicates despite multitudes kneeling - praying as theory does not work we need a critical mass a tipping point a 'cleansing conflagration' [only of a sort of course] let's not get carried away however: you await numbers so - expand begin a draft share the craft unite the covens light the ovens [figuratively of course] become vast become exponential identify problems battle problems eliminate problems having become a colossus - thus saving our planet - thus saving us all we should be endlessly grateful to you and if you would I say again - please don't get carried away but - come October have a great

I Sat Down to Write...

I sat down to write… when a black kitten entered my room with a catnip mouse that dangled from her mouth from its blue yarn tail which she dropped onto the floor before she gazed at me with doleful yellow eyes and mewled for a game of fetch I sat down to write… when the water stopped its usual flow throughout our household and prompted a trip outside to a dilapidated shed to fiddle with the fuse box for our pump until the gauge showed full pressure once again I sat down to write… when the freezer for the refrigerator kept in our garage

The Cello's Lament

They call me brute. I'm permitted to chant, but they won't let me Sing. They've confused non-agility for inflexibility— my belly enfolds the earth; my throat trills at the stars; my eyes embrace the cays of the sea. I am an omnivore, yet they will only feed me leaves.

This is a poem I wrote as a sort of tribute to my favourite band and their third album, The Black Parade. There is a reference for each song on the album in this poem.
