4/11/2017 Poetry by Kristin GarthLittle Brick House Inside a house of brick with just a bed I wait for you without my clothes. A place we drove to on your lunch, a gift, you said. and waved a key you used to trace a line into my thigh so hard, it went from white to scarlet while your eyes went wild and dark. And then you kissed it while you rubbed it, smiled and whispered, "This is how I leave my mark." You slipped the key between my fingers, made me struggle with the lock -- "You have to learn" -- Then rushed me past that empty room to bed with pink new sheets I knew I had to earn. Inside a house of brick with just a bed I wait without my clothes just like you said. Your Dirty Secret Your dirty secret, screaming lashes. Screw me loud and long and mean then hit until you get serene. Can you pretend it’s true? Just keep it to yourself, if so. I will. A crimson trail of blood and grinding teeth, Oh, I have caught those hands much more than red and seen my tissue pulp and drip off neat unbitten nails too long to buy this bed and breakfast shit from you again. Unzip this dress, just stare it down and wipe your nose upon that sleeve before you go. Do not talk of leather belts and bite your lips in bars near me anymore. So just find your pigtailed screw and take her home. Just leave me and my bruised up life alone. Bio: Kristin Garth is a novelist and poet who resides in Pensacola, Florida. She is currently working on an erotic novel entitled The Meadow.

There is something about Little Brick House that won't let me go. The more I read it, the more it digs its roots into my brain and makes me scream for more.

These are beautiful Kristin. I'd read the brick house before, but the second one not. I'm impressed.

Kristin is as raw in writing as she is hot in real life. If it wasn't for my muse in Israel, I'd be all over this hot tamale. Never stop writing! Comments are closed.
