Empty Amber
by meaghanmerrifield
lofty golden goals
lay down to rest
to stay
after taken tolls
after time
after soot settled shame
nothing else remains

Eyes Open to the Glittering Guts of the Wild World
by meaghanmerrifield
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”

Frail Folds
by meaghanmerrifield
silly self
involved
destructive
rests within walls that wind in
curves that roll
crumble where the body begins
folds wail as they wilt
frivolous and frail
words limp out of lips
chewed
chapped
stale

I am left
to steep

Monstrous Me
by meaghanmerrifield
sun sucked skin
radiates red
under-toe
rusty rivers
intemperate
in a short lived sleep
slowly flow
lukewarm in a mellow must
head full of heavy hair
hisses
snaps
haughtily heaves
whips through wet sheets
revels
in riling the rowdy
the deceit
“‘Monstrous Me” by Meaghan Merrifield
