She is the taste that leaves me withered
and sore
but still
My lips tremble in anticipation of her
I crave endlessly
her porcelain shoulders
slim and flushed
against satin sheets and velvet pillows
devour me
til dawn
til death
let me
inhale
all that you are
“Hunger” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
Artwork by Pledant:
There is an icy ocean that stirs in my fingers and toes
a vivid body of aquamarine,
deep and whole
that moves me into lush gardens
and sparkling kingdoms
where new life flows
from the stars in my eyes

fear and rage as raw as pain
dwell within the devil’s jungle
I was born of wicked waters
quaking in her red lagoon
cast away from ivory towers
stained with pearls of misery
wild blood
burns in my hands
unbound by heaven’s harmony
now
with fists that throb and howl
I will strike
for I am free.

Like diamonds

copper cricket
in the shadow
cursed with cheerful melody
all your chirping
deafens you
to blue notes
in your
memory
“Animus” by Angie Hoover-Hillhouse
I can’t really put it into words.. but I like that there are so many recognizable pieces within it. .. Comforting and creepy at the same time. The pelvis- shape makes me think of birth and femininity … but the stark contrast between black and white and the sort of sharp but symmetrical corners give it an ominous feeling. Some elements are strong and warm, others seem tentative and reserved. It kind of looks the way I feel.
