Jacob Wentz Poems

You are nothing, you have no shades of scarlet.
Yet they still adore your fondant lull.
As if you have talent, you are no prophet.
...

petals will stain the muddy root.
As ruby stained looks you hide.
The tansies know under is a brute.
They don't judge they are snide.
...

I wish you weren't here as my lips bloom.
Even though I don't want to lure you in, I still sing my song.
You look like a fool drinking tea made from foxglove.
so blind that you don't even notice my vines starting to

You were so good to us coming to water us every night in Mali.
the sun had different views through snake like jealousy took aim.

gray ivy and pink irises staring at me waiting for me to fix their cyclops curse.
I don't know how to fix you my hands keep wanting to give I think we both need a nurse.
...

painted walls drip from a pearl iridescent shine on rich gold.
platters of foods all dripped in a yellow shimmer of fondue.
a meal of the gods that any greedy person would easily pursue.
...

wire strains from your eyes with made up sea crashed idols.
as you beat your fingers against anything you can each touch like blasted cymbals.
as you pick your throat with a voice so harsh and demanding to make even drowned noodles -
go stiff. with you tormenting everyone else with a gopher-Ish sickly sonata.
