The air viscous, sizzling with strife.

Heads turn,

Mouths fire,

A tussle breaks bad blood

Stains.

The prelude long gone,

Wavering,

Sinking,

Fallen out of grace,

We rot,

Engulfed by maggots we birth.

Like predecessors

Warring stale passages never to elapse,

Glares and talons pierce in flight.

The sky crimson

Reflects no shine.

When all is done,

Scars line our blistering signs.

Two breaths

Held close,

Coarse and dry.

I cry.

You crumble.

Two breaths

Untie.

Between your lips,

My fingers,

Our feathers fly.

Oxford Emory

My name is Jackie Doctor, and I'm a sophomore at the Oxford College of Emory University. I'm an Anthropology and Biology major on a pre-med track. I'm interested in pursuing a profession in Allied Health. I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones, Parks and Rec, and Bob's Burgers, and I read, write, and play the ukelele in my spare time.
