How we walk.
How we bare, all or little, or in between
it all matters somehow, to me:
how we make our little
"marks on the world"
in a song, in a poem
in names carved onto those old trees.
timeless and classical, redemption; stenched:
for all those times we sinned and allowed ourselves
to sin.

so many frightening slips of the tongue
they all add up at that big golden (or is it pearly?) gate I've heard of
thats waiting for me
I hope.


My tongue draws back, smarter this time
it quipped and quitted before it went rosy
lamenting in its own manic, mad way
an asylum of taste and aquatic skin
expression of the definite depression
within.

Excellent writing...and I love the title. That is one guaranteed to draw a reader in...

You have great flow, and imagery. Your last verse:

My tongue draws back, smarter this time
it quipped and quitted before it went rosy
lamenting in its own manic, mad way
an asylum of taste and aquatic skin
expression of the definite depression
within.

I found particularly good.

Thanks for the post!

I really enjoyed your last verse too. It seemed to draw the main amount of imagery from the piece.
The 4 opening lines of the piece had me gone...hook, line and sinker.  

Thanks for this read.
