gemini
 

my birth month of june
has cursed me with two bodies;

the first of flesh displayed like
marble carvings display, etched
effortlessly by an unknown hand
for the viewing pleasure of 
thirsted bureaucrats. 

the second of mist, fizzing
in and out of huffs, gasoline
stench dripping like dew down
from my nostrils
on to my parted lips. 

i am unreliable.
one moment nirvana,
clouded gaze serving honey
to men on chaise 
lounge chairs;
the next? bleeding
gashes scream agony
and i am ripped
from the flesh.
