poetry

Eccentricities of Murphy's mind. Jessica Murphy is a writer and poet traveling the states, living on the road out the back of a truck. If she thinks it, she'll prolly put it right here for the world to read.

Gun Shot Athena

Tattoos torn across her flesh
like tattered wings on a butterfly.


This started with Shattered Aphrodite, from my poetry book. Eventually I'll do a whole group of Greek (maybe Roman) Gods and Goddesses.
I think the Amazing food we ate yesterday at
Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Pittsburgh influenced the name a bit though.

On a side note, living out of the truck has been amazing thus far. Headin toward Philly, probably tomorrow. The only down fall is two weeks without a shower! Ugh. Been using bathrooms to clean up in, it's the only way to stay sane.
