Tendresse Tendril
11 December, 2021 – 29 January, 2022
Gorgo
still waters hold the slow writhe of
stagnant poisons . you would be mistaken
to think them dormant . there’s nothing
inert in quiet oozing . the lesser finger .
little . the minor limb . the golden sap of
your demise . burning piss and liquid
gold . imbibe .drown in feral salt slut .
delicately wriggle tantalise and tickle .
little worm . salt slut . a little worn . a
little warn tendrilled to the promise . to
the wrath . the hag in fishnets and mules .
the patent sheen of misbegotten beams .
moonshine’s water mirrors truth right
back at you as you freeze . there you go .
drink your own poison . the one you
refuse to see . watch me watch you and
show you what I see . the horrifying
beauty of truth . deny deny and calcify . I
laugh until I wail fully fully full of the
power to be all of it . all that I am
eternally haunts you . I dare to show
you . whiplash of snakelocks . anemone .
to suck you dry out of your shell . your
sweet meat is mine . full of desire and
foreboding . still I say . barely wriggling .
insatiable . I rupture through your
composure . power is undying when raw
when true when full . call me femme
fatale horror femme . monstrous . I don’t
need to thread your fate . It’s you that
tendrils to me . lament’s magic my sisters
mourn . drown in their song . delicately
finger yourself . haunted by the wail .
long for the laughing snake to take you
over . writhe slow . ride as you pluck the
manes . tangle in your burning sap .
drink the liquified beastly urine of your
envy . dare to love what lies beneath the
sea . the humble surrender to your own
monster . the opposite of complacency
my dear . do not make mistakes . the
suddenness of touch . there . the mortal
beauty of your salt . in another time .
every time . fetishise my limbs for your
primal arousal . finger my worms . a little
worn . tantalise . you cannot drink what
you cannot digest without choking . you
cannot kill what lives inside you unless
you see it . my chipped nails . my dark
cape . my strawberry lace . my slut ways .
I titillate . the horror of your own thirst .
don’t I tickle you .
