listen, listen
listen close
I want
you--
feel
my breath in ear
--glycerine
of word--fructose--
a sweet piercing
of the spear
weighted
with the waxen head
of all the poisons
of my dread
wishing
I
wish
you
away---
and pray
you pierce
my heart atoned...this arrow
how it's wounded me--
no matter what I choose-
I bleed.
break it
or
pull it from me--
no matter now--

my heart will pound...

take it
'fore
it dulls the need
no matter now--

I grant concede.

"You have won."
I sweep the pawn.
The task of chess
is mow of lawn
patterns
formed
in cut of grass,
that grows--
it does not give a damn
how often you will push...

grass just grows
it does not care
if you caress it beautiful.
a carpet begging
touch of toes
symphonic musical...
begging for
a slave
in sing
edges--tended
make aware--
twisting knees in knots.

So break the branch
that formed a tree
an enemy
planted in me--
break it--
and then take hot stone
and sear the wound--

leave me alone

(for warriors don't weep...)

* * *

let this poor bitch lick her wounds...
rabid dog in half-hound tune.

I would rather dig a cave
with half a paw--
I'll dig a grave
and throw my pity of myself--
into the earth
of sympathy--
there I can
just let it bleed--
I say "Heaven"--YOU say "Hell"--

* *

a simple difference of need.

Terrific closing lines, Serenity. I slowed down my reading pace and everything came together.

I like the experiments, here.
And the last line makes it all worth it.

Phew.

I went back, after the hairs on my neck went down...with a push...to see what time this was written.

I was correct...

it was NOT a daymare....

it WAS a nightdream...
