Poem -
Mary Mortimer
Child of blue-skied
Cheery-eyed
Smiles
Of broken teeth and bones and homes
Shriek-giggled sobs and flayed skin cartwheels
Happy fucking birthday cake
of ruined sickly-sweet surrender
Candy-coated cursing kids
Round and round we go
Skip along into your hole
Hold the monsters down beneath your soiled bed
And pray the Lord my soul to take
If and when I die before I wake.

Hey man, thank you so much for the kind words! Always boosts one's confidence to get a thumbs-up on a piece of writing. LOL publishing rights? I don't know if it's gonna even make it that far, my understanding is that publishing poetry is not a cakewalk. But there are many more poems I'm in the process of putting up here. Thank you so much for the support, dude. I'm just a cynical mind using words as tools, trying to etch my name into the textures of this life, even if its in a miniscule way.
Stay well, friend.
