12/5/2016 0 Comments Three Poems by Georgia ParkVegetarian and cooked ever so carefully into a lamb I'm exploding onto the scene my hands fill with semen and he can scoff but i will not go to any free events where he might be and claim to be no, people will pay a vegetarian to see me read the chefs will say and i will see nobody bon apetit! until I'm seen they'll serve it cold and raw patrons will come it's funny to think out of the restaurant this invasive species with blood smeared lips the mint growing in my head Grinning theyll let it and choking me Dripdown their chins sprouted from the seed of an enemy I will not rest until i am made into jelly Grease Fire My mother is not at the sink not with eyes sunken or a frilly apron these are the pictures i want to paint my brother is at the stovetop aged eight frying fish while i am upstairs with the door closed i am counting all i do is practice i cant zipper zips or button buttons for the test i have coming up to get into kindergarten i am worried when the grease fire explodes i can just hear him calling get out of the house! as he runs through the back door but i can't make out the words so i ignore him the smoke makes its way to my room i dont notice until the firemen come and i dont notice that all the other kids can read until the teacher separates me from them and asks if I'm even trying Quiet No one wants to hear that I saw demons in the rainforest while a shaman sang to me that I convulsed and screamed for my mother and that she didn't come when I called her. or that the Panamanian coke dealer had a box of cigars he was "selling," long pinkie nails and 10 thick gold rings to go with the mustache he was literally twirling on one of my Christmases. -that I let him in. and remembering makes it uneasy to breathe. I like the little houses on my street. Bio: Georgia Park used to be a semi well behaved woman before she got a BA in creative writing, became a pseudonym and started wreaking all sorts of havoc.
