HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY by Hannah V Warren
Los Angeles, CA
dear hollywood Snapshot
Paint me indian Peafowl
persuade me a Succulent
my sister & I are lonely
the dead are Good
company
only when I’m alone with Them a lonely with them
Horsehair pattern & revolt
we argue over Mallards
Violence vs Nurture don’t vomit in the
Rosebushes
don’t sleep in the
Crypts
don’t piss on the Geese
don’t desecrate judy garland
don’t cremation don’t steal johnny ramone’s Guitar
& use it as a
Vibrator
rip : strawberry clover & bur clover & wall barley
we Snake our hats Fill them with pink
Peppercorns
lavender scallop a daisy chain to Death
my sister & I fill Perfume Bottles with blood
& sell it to
tourists
we knock Bones on tin cans & call it Religion
we remember all the ways we are
Similar
& the Remembering hurts
