now i'm a warrior, burning
cigarettes against my skin
to build a suit of armor
and sharpening my teeth
until the backalley cats
get jealous—now i'm a
scientist, traveling inside
rubik's cubes only to
discover that the colors
blend in desert sands—now
i'm a doctor, licking bodies
and dressing wounds
in red robes, just in time for
the royal gala—now i'm a
conductor, setting the mood
for the last dance where
king and queen are killed
by men in native masks—
now i'm a scavenger, sewing
vulture wings into my back
and roasting in the sun
cigarettes against my skin
to build a suit of armor
and sharpening my teeth
until the backalley cats
get jealous—now i'm a
scientist, traveling inside
rubik's cubes only to
discover that the colors
blend in desert sands—now
i'm a doctor, licking bodies
and dressing wounds
in red robes, just in time for
the royal gala—now i'm a
conductor, setting the mood
for the last dance where
king and queen are killed
by men in native masks—
now i'm a scavenger, sewing
vulture wings into my back
and roasting in the sun

Chatoyant stargazer, you with
skin as opulent as spring itself
hair a realm where fairies roam
limbs redolent of riverbed soil
lead me to the illusive seams
of this halcyon of gossamer dreams
over orion and past the eye of god
Grandiloquent desiderata, you are

here is a love story
in quiet words:
she pressed her hands to my heart
and her palms came away
dusty.

The Last Time I saw you,
you were down in the dirt,
[literally] on hands and knees,
looking for the bit of magic
your father had promised was toiling
just underneath the surface.
You feel it, you whispered in
a cotton hush like the vibrancy
of your voice would intimidate the
dreams you scraped at beneath the
faultlines. Daddy never told a lie
[excluding the usual good things
come to those who wait, and 'tis better
to have loved and lost, and every end
is a new beginning]. You feel it,
you whispered, trembling at the hands
the same way you did for the Pills
that couldn't quite fix the Problem.
.
I never really understood all the ways
you

Saw a picture (on Tumblr, hahahah,) that said "Now I'm a warrior" and this kind of fell out of my brain immediately after. Don't know how I feel about the title... might be too witty.

Excellent piece!! Immediately caught my attention with the first line and held it all the way.
On top of that, after I read the artist comments, I was like, "whoa! that's cool." Because I've done that before myself...see a picture that triggers a literary reaction. But I don't see too many examples of that on dA.
Well done.
