I read both poems. You can't say she's not consistent. It comes across to me as a kind of restrained (only slightly) automatic writing a la the Surrealists. Just let the images pour out on the page as they come to you, with the slightest of threads holding them together (sometimes). I'm not altogether repelled by it, to the point of labelling it "bad poetry", but it also seems like it's the easy way out (or in) for composing a poem.
I see the first one, which I read more closely, as almost a narration of a pornographic manga. Her main focus seems to shock the reader, but the shocks grow monotonous after a short time.
