Two Poems by Lara Konesky

I was kind of think­ing i could kill you and let your ghost fuck me in the ass

i've vir­tu­al­ly seen you around here

com­ment­ing wit­ti­cisms and mak­ing me lol
i was kind of think­ing i could kill you

and let your ghost fuck me in the ass
i was kind of think­ing you could punch me back

i was kind of hop­ing you were free for the afternoon
some­time next year

or tomor­row

i'm going to pre­tend you love me, and that when you blind­fold me and toss me in your trunk

that you haven’t done that shit before.

I'm spe­cial to you.
i can just feel it

i would total­ly let you tit­ty fuck me

when i was in grad school i was nev­er fem­i­nist enough.

i didn't think fuck­ing was rape, and if i found a man i want­ed to fuck long enough and hard
enough i would take his last name

affec­tion is reckless

my dreams are so fond of you. your hands are huge and i want them wrapped around my neck so i have a good excuse as to why i have stopped breathing.

one time i got into an argu­ment with a girl about love.
she want­ed to know how did you know if it was real or a ver­sion of it and i said real­i­ty does not tit­ty fuck you like your last boyfriend and  ask where you want it to cum real­i­ty does not send mes­sages to human authors to record its words real­i­ty is only per­cep­tion and per­cep­tion is always skewed so it might not mat­ter if it is real or a ver­sion of it because no answer sat­is­fies the question

what was the ques­tion again

love is not a very polite house guest, it jerks off in your show­er, and it miss­es the toi­let seat, and it tries to fuck your sis­ter or mother

i like to pre­tend i am not wait­ing for your dick like that moth­er fuck­er who told me i am going to hell is wait­ing for the sec­ond com­ing but i am hang­ing onto the edge of my bed like i have far to fall

that chick was so pissed i said tit­ty fucking

i guess i say this all to say i love you

even human­ism got tired from the lack of magic.

i have nev­er been the great­est feminist

my legs just open when i hear your voice. it's kind of like the nat­ur­al law etch­ing itself into my thighs.

and i would total­ly let you tit­ty fuck me
