Can you still taste full-bodied

trust on your tongue

when you’re lying there seared

in your own guts?

Because I made you dinner

and fed you lies,

I set the table,

but stabbed you with your knife.

And now you thaw out

on the floor in silence.

What’s a casual date

without some violence?

Blood stains like red wine

on my evening dress–

I clear the plates,

scrub my hands,

pick up the mess.

Riley Irwin

Do you how do? If you understood that reference, we are definitely soulmates. Anywho, HELLO, my name is Riley and you are twice as likely to see me around because I am an identical twin. I currently attend NAU and am majoring in biology and minoring in psychology. My favorite things include black coffee, cute dogs, and running uphill. Bad puns and sarcasm are in my blood, so you are going to have to bare with me kids.
