Casey Renee Kiser: Twin Flame

Twin Flame / Not Trending

 

Casey Renee Kiser

 

 

Tore right through my marked body;

junkbox at a rummage sale

That sicko-sweetheart hoarder-

absorbing my worth but, he 

offered a short fuse, tall tale,

and winked a shiny quarter

 

Gator smile wins the hour;

eyes above the filth of truth

Judging me from his sex swamp,

oh, this cold blood bleeds power

All dead at the kissing booth-

mirrored reptile tail-swing stomp

 

I see now what I didn't want to see

I see what I didn't want. I see, I see,

I didn't want

 

accountability



C. Renee Kiser's poetry is quirky and armed with bold confessional dynamite. Her humor is satisfyingly dark, confrontational, often abrupt, and always unsettling.
