4/25/2018 Poetry by Lauren GargiuloEverything I have ever done to my body: Bruised it Cut it Sexed it Scratched it Loved it Hated it Cursed it Starved it Fucked it Stroked it Changed it Burnt it Shaved it Beat it Dyed it Torn it Waxed it Praised it Pierced it Kept it Healed it Fixed it Marked it Bled it Worn it Stretched it Grew it Bleached it Honed it Raised it Owned it Crushes-A Step-By-Step How to:
Heart is fire When my heart would not stop beating /so fast, so hard it was tearing itself out of my chest/i caught It in my right hand, match in my left hand/life became fire /blood once again fuel instead of whatcouldhavebeen congealing in my veins/tearing up the oxygen in my lungs /i put the ashes back inside the cavity of my chest/fell into a painless sleep for the first time in weeks/as i was dreaming of feeling like what i heard healthy was/it regrew, fire proof. So i took a lighter to my hair/started a fire from top to bottom/until all that was left was/defects/Everything I was burnt up/except the proof/ I Was Here. ![]() Bio: Lauren Gargiulo is a published writer from and living in Vancouver BC.
