Dracula's got nothin' on You
Embrace of the vampire
like my name was Alyssa
I came right to You on command
in the middle of the night
and I dared You
to put a spell on me

so I could break it; reshape it
and re-gift it. Sorry, I was all out
of bows and ribbons. Just maybe,
I dared You
to hack my heaven, blacken me, 
drag me through your hell
and your red flag-labyrinth of shit
My soul doesn't own any 
white flags. I don't wave and glitch
and flop like the other fish out of water
I could really rip out your bored fangs
with my bolt-cutting 
words. And You did it...
You drained me
with your double life-kink
Yes, I got what I asked for
I'm a poet so,
I wasn't born a good girl;
Born to dig the coffin boys
and You didn't disappoint
so I could wake up the next day
more like You, but

not quite. I was now a daywalker
nightclubbing inside my daydreaming
about the curse and the blessing
and how we must experience 
both sides. I forgive You
for thinking 
You could have my heart
all for yourself, as I dared You
because you never chose truth.

I Dared You

11. sE>ndung «bye bye heisser BrE>i» 

Manipulation, Verhandlung der Lohnerhöhung (von Michelle💸), Machtdynamiken und passiv-aggressive Bitten (von Lara😬), das und vieles mehr erwartet euch in der 11. sE>ndung.

Den gesellschaftlich geprägten Kommunikationsstil auf den Kopf stellen und keine manipulative oder punitive Macht ausüben, jedoch trotzdem nicht um den heissen Brei reden, sondern ansprechen, was wir brauchen, ist das Anliegen von Host Michelle Reichelt im Gespräch mit Tanja Walliser, Co-Gründerin Empathie Initiative, und Lara Müller. 

Wir hoffen, euch macht dieses Gespräch genauso viel Spass, wie uns die Aufnahme gemacht hat.

Gegen Ende gibt es eine überraschende Pause. Mehr verraten wir nicht. Hört rein!

Casey Renee Kiser's work (a.k.a. snail viXen) closely examines mainstream’s distorted ideas of beauty.
Always quirky and armed with bold confessional dynamite, her humor is uncompromising, often abrupt and unsettling. Her poems explore identity, emotional abuse, and healing within complicated relationships. She resides in a magical place called The Crystal Garden. Come on over, we have cookies ;) and healing, through dark poetry.
🖤At RaVenGhost Press, 
we work w/ the Darkness <

We say, Tell your story. 
Get it all out then,  let it go!
Don't take it with you. 
It's too heavy to carry up the mountain.

( or the mushroom, if you're a snail ;)
