surreal poetry

Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.

Cigarettes and Placeholder Dreams. Content Warning.
Eighteen and hungry, The cigarette hanging between bloody fingers doing nothing To suppress the gnawing hunger clawing a hole in my stomach.
