Glass Mercedes
By Numbers Peppelini
Hollowed interminably
sustenance waning
with every toke
from her glass Mercedes
Ultimately infatuated
blessedly inebriated
girl inhales strawberry dreams
through snot bubbles
Non existential astronaut
her frontal lobe takes a back seat
to the mouth full of tongues
twisting in her belly
She is ready now to see you
dead eyes blackened like a serpent
raking her skull
from a place of concealment
crude oil spills out from both ears
blood from years ago and far off places
quivering like a choir boy
devoured by a great white of deity
unpardonable white froth
tucked at each corner of her mouth
inner child now oozing down both thighs
expiration of her exhalation revoked

you managed to make one of the world's ugliest things beautiful. i love a poem with the phrase "snot bubbles" in it. never thought i'd see the day. actually, i never thought about it at all. thank you for making me thinks things i never would have thunk otherwise. ;)

Holy. Each line is a microcosm in itself. I am viscerally perturbed, but satisfied with that. I love words that give rise to an internal battle and unite me with the characters in a way I could never unite with the characters I meet in person. You are impressive.

How much of oneself can be lost before it's no longer worth one more immediate fix? This piece reads like the downfall of a close friend: it's obvious they're sinking at a faster rate, but there's nothing you can do to slow their descent. Clearly, the verse of a skilled hand.
