Who Launched A Thousand Ships

A Poem by Ivy Corruption
"

A pain in the a*s to type is all I have to say...

"

slipslide
                  we exist in the liminal spaces,
                  threaded with sinew between
andout
                  barriers thinner than
                  sweetly bleeding cataracts
glowhalo
only because white doors don't really shut
anything out.
                  close to the bone, there are places
                  we're afraid to go
                                there are places, in corners,
                                in deep-breathing slow-flowing water
heart
                   young sappling, saccharine veridian
                   strawberry carpal tunnel, sticky sweet
inpink
                   and dust, every((every))thing is dust
                   and shame, place white bone break
it.
it's easy,
and tastes like
                   liminal spaces,
                   threaded with sinew between
andin
                   barriers thinner than...
t                     h                       a                         n

           softly
                       tearing



cries                which                wings
                                    will be
