Spindle is an online literary magazine with a twist, featuring creative non-fiction, poetry and short fiction by, for and about New Yorkers -- literal and spiritual. Showcasing emerging writers, artists, musicians and other notable New Yorkers, it offers a multi-faceted look at New York City and the world beyond through the eyes of both those who love it and hate it, and in many cases, a peek inside the minds of the people themselves.

Like New York City, Spindle is best experienced with an open mind and a healthy dose of intellectual curiosity. There are no tour guides here, so readers are encouraged to take their time and casually explore the site, whether a section at a time, via the "related article" links, or by doing a keyword search.

Thanks for reading!

The Only Substance Abuse Problem I Have is You PDF Print E-mail
 

By Panika M. C. Dillon,

Favoured : 124

Published in : , Poetry


Your heart beats as if through floorboards
with all the adoptive violence of
seismic waves: this is the apocalypse

garnering my chest, speckling my rib cage
like Pollack resurrected. I say, Sacrifice
keeps me like your apple, your eye.
Call it a harp.

You place dynamite before the hazard
icon of my tongue; sirens blare through
window panes, splinter the door

frame of your arms. You say you do not
want to treat me wrong. Treating me right
is the worst & I will replace the rugs

when I finish hiding the organ
that I would rather not possess.


Panika M. C. Dillon hails from Fairbanks, AK and Austin, TX. She recently graduated with her MFA in creative-writing poetry from Sarah Lawrence College and will be on death-metal-poetry.com.
