phoenix (an inverted zombie life)

phoenix (an inverted zombie life)

“Because,” said the hunger artist…“because I couldn’t find a food which tasted good to me.”

“I was afraid, I'd eat your brains”
“Conversation 16,” The National


i am not interested in arizona
but another state altogether

resurrection

i am hopeful that the part of me
that died can rise from the ashes

resurrection

it is lonely living while dead inside
no urge to eat—an inverted zombie life

resurrection

this state has no decayed flesh or moaning
although the living somehow remain distant

resurrection

to rise then in the arms of another entirely
and to resist feasting on her skinny throat

resurrection
