poetry

a couple doubloons.

This poem is laid out with exact line breaks — it reads best on a larger screen or laptop. On a phone, long lines wrap to fit.

My chest is a treasure cove.
Travel a little more inland and you'd see the cave where I hide my gold.
Ignore the aroma of batshit crazy.
Things are 
Buried under layers of guano.
If you're brave enough to enter a cave of bats and snakes.
On a tiny island, in a putrid, black lake.
You'll find my heart, a box full of hate.
