Animated Fingers
by
Johnny Fuentes

She had demolished wings,
and mutilated fingernails.
Her hands were planted inside my heart,
the crisp fingertips tickled me from the inside.
She was a junky
of pesticides
and her pencil-sharpener
pussy sunk into her skin.
A landscape of sunflowers,
bound in christmas themed wrapping paper,
animated themselves to wither away.
