assssssbhhat

i spilt wine in the hallway

but my body
is too numb

but want to puke

i guess, like my girlfriend said,
"i am plugged into my body parts too hard, like maybe you are"

I can smell your angel smoke and it's choking me to Heaven.

Known as the "wise women", they inspired and assisted in the murders of an estimated three hundred people over a span of fifteen years.

In fact, some women decided to be rid of more than just an inconvenient spouse and began to poison other annoying relatives and even their own children. Occasionally they poisoned one another. Just before Marie's hubby died, she got him to sing for her. Knowing he was poisoned, she listened to his sweet voice. In the midst of his song, he clutched his stomach and was soon dead. Giving testimony years later, she seemed to think this event rather delightful. Maria Varga killed seven members of her family, considering the death of her husband in particular a Christmas present to herself.

Because Fazekas' cousin filed the death certificates, when officials poked their noses in to check on the sudden rise in the death rate, she showed them that everything was in order. This one was a drowning (a poisoned woman tossed in the river), and that one was an illness. There were no doctors around to make examinations, so who was to say differently?

Authorities considered that theses women had been gripped by madness for fifteen years, brought on by their promiscuity. They were at a loss to otherwise explain it.

a cold cement wall prompt

the cold cement wall is my best friend. he's strong and open-minded. when he tells me his stories, i listen. when i've got nowhere to look, i look at him, and he starts to shift and change colour hues. or maybe that was just the effect of clouds passing by.

a day is just a day: cold sunshine and dirty floors. yesterday, after i ate my cereal, i went up to this wall.

i made an inviting hug pose against it, and then i leaned my head back and jolted it forward for a long crack at my eyebrow ridge.

i sat back down and laughed. whenever i touch the crack in my face, i start hearing that laughter in my ears. ringing and ringing.
