Juli Watson

If you go out tonight think of me
If you meet another girl tonight think of me
Tell her your name, your secrets
If you take her home tonight think of me
...

She slapped me with her words
Waited till I was vulnerable
Wrote obscene poetry across my face
Her disdain, my smarting stigmata
...

I love you
I love you with my fist
I love you with a knife
I love you bruised, bleeding
...

The little boy with pies for eyes
Wears a mask as a disguise
Sleeps in a box
That his father now locks
...

I filled your well
It was out of love
I filled your shell
It was all I could
...

The things I dare not dream of
You shouldn't know that
The worst question yet-
Was I one of them?
...

Hairdressers
Dream logic
All the style pictures are exactly the same
Austere cat faces, blank expressions
