Treated myself to this from @scarinasvault.bsky.social a beautiful book about old NJ graveyards. She took all the pictures herself aside from writing the informative text.

my latest and most personal poems, DICKING AROUND and LOLITA LAUGHED, are available with new words {press}. i'm overwhelmingly grateful to have these pieces of me in the world.

available here: store.newwordspress.com/products/iss...
LOLITA LAUGHED My wicked bones contort into A slick smile that promises pretty Pink insides to swish around in Your mind. Insurance in my Back pocket, I’ve met my saw- Toothed deductible. And there’s Work to do on you. Too busy Positioning yourself with the Upper hand around my waist To see the blade coming. Sing For me, Daddy, the way you Do late at night by my bedroom Door. Where does your wife Think you are? Her silence Says she knows. Her Hollow regard for my name Blames me. I’m the whore You’ve adored since two was The first number in your Age and the only one in mine. But the liability sits with me And my naturally blushed lips And the unsophisticated skin you Watched from my window. My fault. DICKING AROUND Sour candy saliva sticks To your chin in your Inebriated rebellion, when Everything’s funny and the World’s fallen down. What’s A girl to do? Beg for booze At every juncture and Swear on any soul you’re not Like your mother. The spirits In you are restless and 100 proof, But your bull head is stronger. A little elbow grease and a Menthol cigarette clean you Up well enough for your ilk. We don’t talk about it. The circles under your eyes Are a soggy, open book. Back cover of new words {press}'s issue No. 4, which lists Blayne Hessinger Waterloo as a contributor

Movie poster for So I Married An Axe Murderer starring Mike Myers and Nancy Travis "The Honeymoon Was Killer." A man is standing smiling with his arms crossed. A woman is behind him on a walkway with her hand suspiciously behind her back. In the background is a wavy version of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Who needs a bright smile from Piglet?
Photo of a pink pig with a fuzzy white coat, standing outside in great sunshine in front of a red barn. He is looking up at the camera with his pink nose, and seems to have a smile on his face.

só mais um beijo antes de ir ☝️🧡

#BRart #art #digitalart #OC
Arte digital de uma vampira e uma bruxa se beijando em uma sacada. A vampira está do outro lado, debruçada no guarda corpo, enquanto a bruxa está do lado de dentro, segurando o rosto de sua amada. A vampira é uma mulher branca, de cabelos cor-de-rosa, presos em um rabo-de-cavalo; está vestindo blazer e saia, meia calça e coturnos; tem piercings na orelha e no queixo e usa um brinco de lua com uma corrente; em cada um dos pulsos há uma tatuagem, uma é o sol mesclado com a lua e a outra as letras NC. A bruxa é uma mulher negra, com cabelos crespos roxos, trançados até o topo da cabeça, terminando em um pompom decorado com duas flores amarelas; tem piercing na orelha e usa um brinco de sol; está vestindo calça jeans de cintura alta e um blusão colorido, meias listradas. Sobre as cabeças delas voa uma morceguinha orelhuda com um pixie nas costas, esperando a vampira para partirem. Na sacada há várias plantas diferentes por toda a parte, em vasos decorados à mão, há artes de madeira de pássaros, tapetes decorados, uma mesinha de centro feita de um caixote e um sofá de palete com almofadas de fronha decorada, neste lado tudo é pintado com tons alaranjados. Ao fundo é possível ver a cidade, toda em tons frios, principalmente de azul. Há várias casinhas e árvores, é possível ver parte da estrada de pedras, uma farmácia e um muro pichado. No alto da arte há um céu estrelado com uma lua crescente.
