Poetry of Issue 9: Planet Steroid

Planet Steroid

Another mission.

I am fat with alien juices.

I wake at four am. Repeating

conversations in my head.

Lolly cobble bliss bombs

flow through my veins.

If my actions seem transparent

it’s the serpent’s eye cap I wear.

Hang me up from the whelk

at the back of my neck.

Tease me into tracing the

hard consonants of my words.

Watch me moonwalk

across the kitchen tiles, waiting for the

slow trickle of tiny white spaceships

in my hand to fade away.
