An Eerie Silence Just Beyond the Cabin Door

Miss Peach is a Cross Between
Catie Rosemurgy

A missing tooth and a fang.
A bloom and a sandstorm.
A love letter and a trapdoor.
A can opener and a kiss.
A maraca and a spear.

Lowered eyes and a suddenly somewhat disconcerting blow job.
A baroque flute flourish and an eerie silence just beyond the
     cabin door.

A tube top and a biohazard mask.
Goldilocks and an actual bear.

A little blackout on what you think was Tuesday
and a little black spot on your latest chest x-ray.

A little black period
that holds down words like a tack
and a bright little universe
that loves to turn black.

Yes, I do love "a somewhat suddenly disconcerting blow job." (The line, I mean.)
