Her dreams of Olympus
of dwelling among the Gods and Goddesses
ended on a road
where she watches the world race by
from her window
and the indifferent world sounds like a pride of lions hungrily, passionately
taking down it’s prey.
She keeps her dreams of Olympus
alive
inked in a books with a shaky hand
that
she leaves beside
her
many half drunk glasses of wine and pictures of a life
greedily, licentiously, devoured
by
a once corpulent
now starving
Jovana.
RDP Thursday – CORPULENT
Friendship
is
letting someone get close enough to stick a knife in your heart
and
it turns out they are such a good and generous friend
that they will
to stick it into your back
because they don’t want you to be scared
when your end comes.
Friendship.
RDP Prompt: Friendship
True love never dies
they say
but it can be consumed
thoughtlessly, mindlessly
like over buttered popcorn
tossed into your mouth
at the movies
in the dark
where nobody can see you
chew it up
with relish
like an animal always on the hunt
for it’s next meal.

Her words
her laugh
her breathy declarations
of passion,
her stories of youth
and adventure
and
a
boy
who always wore the same leather pants
were mass produced
and stored
for future consumption
as needed
somewhere in the Midwest
in factory that fell into ruins
so many lost years ago.
