Neptunes daughter

An alchemy of suffering

You are Neptunes daughter

Shadow burn syphoning

your name sake gin and water

A blizzard, blackened white out

unfiltered from a tear duct

A perfumed blunted black out.

Severed guillotine cut

Mass flask graves

Masked feed for fodder

presiding in the deep

Drowning in the water

Sieve silted sorrow through

A pear shaped decanter

the dry dessert thirst

Doesn’t quench the answer

I am an artist and musician who likes to be barefoot and outside, I started writing poetry when I was nine, using a metaphor comparing cinnamon candy to stars.
