Cough Medicine & Stones Unturned


This is an 8-page zine– Folding instructions here


a glimpse of pale Saturn
lens not required
prickles of panic
an echo, deluded

while silence is golden
and duct tape is silver
this gilded tongue might
have fucked Midas over

was this what you wanted?
is it still? 

I know it would’ve gotten better if I had
just

burst blister bubbles
fool’s gold leaf unlocked
three C’s, twelve capsules 
all stolen, none stocked

a glimpse of pale Saturn
untethered from stone
stings salty remorse
from silk curtains drawn

could I rearrange every mountain?
