Mariel Herbert

harvest fest
in the tallest grass
lost ring finger

— Mariel Herbert

Mariel Herbert

last dance
her blood follows
his down

— Mariel Herbert

their skin crawls

off into midnight

solstice

— Mariel Herbert

Mariel Herbert

beach trip
a tentacle grabs
my sunscreen

— Mariel Herbert

Mariel Herbert

starving all the king’s men try kintsugi

— Mariel Herbert

not a scab

dipping the tweezers

in holy water

— Mariel Herbert

Mariel Herbert

sharing
a deep-sea love
ghost child

— Mariel Herbert

Mariel Herbert

hands and feet
enchantments tear
at the seams

— Mariel Herbert

salt drips

all the way home

blood price

— Mariel Herbert

Mariel Herbert

a claw
slices the veil
ninth life

— Mariel Herbert

before

the doorbell rings

stabbing wind

— Mariel Herbert

Mariel Herbert

cloudless sky
above a dead mall
a banshee wails

— Mariel Herbert
