heavenly creatures
By Anna Dorn
sugar in the sky
oh hi
a vampire crushed
my NuvaRing
typical female crap—
experimental pink benzos,
various crypto queens,
ghost baby blonde,
diamond lines
of candied jazz
avant-garde
altars
bless my lilac nerves
with fragile syrup
obsessing over
your milky shadow
degrades me
blue turning
dark, dark, darker
flash flowers of
slow-motion videos
cackling virtually
—disaster moon
rendered NEON
the stars are blind
but screenshots
are
forever
