i. lips the color of nostalgia
a cute girl says
"i'm so drink, send hell"

ii. hollows that won't echo
signs point to the phrase
"your god is worn out"

iii. mimicry but only in shape
everything bright enough to burn
never keeps detail when eyes close

Rotten Peach Poetry podcast

I started a poetry reading podcast! Simple where I read my own poetry, have my friends read theirs sometimes, and maybe do some fun impromptu poetry!

https://anchor.fm/galemccoy

Ep.1 & Ep.2 is out! My podcast is available on: Anchor. Spotify. Google Podcasts. Breaker. Radiopublic. PocketCast. And soon more!

It's a lot of fun so far. And cathartic. Abd exciting.

grinding stone

oh I stuck my feet in the dirt again
and broke my toes on stone
I know well I'm not meant to be still
as my body bends forward of its own will
but to advance to the next level
I must stay here and grind bones on stones
or walk straight off into the abyss again

Your goddess

Your goddess
is sitting in the bar 24/7
because she thinks it's safer
to sleep there
then to go home
where people will break in
just to watch her sleep

Your goddess
wishes that she could feel
the alcohol the bartender
keeps on pouring for her

Your goddess
is a false idol
place high on strings
too weak to hold her up

God ****** word

I used to think devil was
a white man in a black suit
now I think it's really God
playing pretend
while the devil is Among Us
following through with his
own God ****** word

Purple

Purple at the edges of the sky
Bleeding into strands of tide
Moves to where your eyes abide
When lips divide
In essence of the line
...Cool beans

A drunk improvised collab between
Luna Fae & Gale Mccoy

pure me

at times i must be
unfiltered, undiluted, pure me
for if i let myself
restrict, edit, reform
one time too many
this death grip will never ease
for all the fear i hold
of letting the wrong thing go
is why i must let it flow
