Hybrid creature Poem by Domnica Drumea

Hybrid creature


beautiful things destroy me

I am much older than you

hybrid creature always hungry


I've left behind a house under siege

my need to crucify myself

to touch any hand that reaches out


I beg for your mercy

though there is no mercy between us

only a phosphorescent globe shedding light

inside us


in the light of day I disintegrate

hybrid creature without heart

and without sex


I have a twin sister

she laughs my share of laughs too
