Every morning I wake Up
Angry for no cause
Other than the reason as the day before
I linger just to pause
To contemplate the days faux pa
Before I hit the snooze again
Delayed tenure
The rush-ed dreams dreamt in a hurry
Are the ones I try to grasp
The most
Before I have to shoot up for the day again
Abhor abhor the day’s routine
Modern labor’s blessed curse
Your freedom chose this shift to die
Slowly
Only two more hours until
There are four more hours
….
Fuck the day away
Raw
Let me out of this and
Back to that quick dream
I feel the most, right before I have to
Wake up

Folklore and Flesh: A Dark Folklore Anthology by Willy Martinez
A haunting collection of horror stories where bees whisper betrayal, rivers drown regret, and folklore gets hungry.
Dive into the “Folklore and Flesh Anthology,” a chilling collection that masterfully intertwines the grotesque with the mythical. This anthology features ten spine-tingling tales that explore the dark intersections of body horror and folklore, where the human form and ancient legends collide in terrifying ways.
Pre-order coming soon – Expected October/November 2025
