About Me

Miss Peach Is a Cross Between
by Catie Rosemurgy

A missing tooth and a fang.
A bloom and a sandstorm.
A love letter and a trapdoor.
A can opener and a kiss.
A maraca and a spear.
Lowered eyes and a suddenly somewhat disconcerting blow job.
A baroque flute flourish and an eerie silence just beyond the cabin door.
A tube top and a biohazard mask.
Goldilocks and an actual bear.
A little blackout on what you think was Tuesday
and a little black spot on your latest chest x-ray.
A little black period
that holds down words like a tack
and a bright little universe
that loves to turn black.

My Interests

Pretty dresses, the sound of a newly sharpened pencil on paper, freckled shoulders, the smell of old books, all things sweet that come out of an oven, thinking about holding sloths, coke slurpees, ruminating about the apocalypse, missing everything and collecting scraps of paper that make me miss things more, various activities normally belonging to twelve-year-old boys, animal costumes, wrinkled noses, flashlights and christmas lights and novelty rainbow lightbulbs and sunshine and light of all kinds.
