Poetry by Tiffany Shaw-Diaz

Picture
                 ​Timo Newton-Syms CC



the feast (part one)
​
the monster climbs on top of you
and you let it
place the pillow over your head

it’s a game 
the monster coos 

but in your mind you know
there is no game 





dilate 

at times
the only comfort 
i had
was the shadow 
in my bed 





the feast (part two)

the monster 
has a skin suit and tie 

the monster
pays its bills on time 

but the monster
only desires

your pre-
pubescent flesh 





resignation 

i told the shadow
come closer 

what else could i 
call home?
​
