    About this ebook

    Poetry by Janky Fluffy 

     

    Another Broken Wax Heart

    A scrap cloth doll or plastic 

    It doesn't matter 

    We are all toys and play with 

    Wax hearts formed from melted candles

    Sewn inside

    Stitches like scars

    Fragile wax melts 

    Into everything 

    Manufactured Hatred 

    Her heart beating in time 

    Nightmares built in a factory and reproduced 

    Because it's easier to sell hate than kindness 

    We remember what makes us angry 

    We feed on despair, our outrage

      Dear Unwelcome Visitors

      Oct 1, 2020

      I do not want your eye of newt, Your weasel teeth, your mandrake root. Stop leaving me your fingernails, And spider legs, and serpent tails. I never asked for raven wings. What kind of person brings such things? I cannot turn these “gifts” to charms
