Sadly I'll Never Really Know

Ice cream kisses and words
about cow carcass shields,
stems failing in ache from
too many times up and down.
Those curtains and windows shine today,
I can see the ice cream in the reflection
and the scars like a photograph with medals.
So many lifetimes by and today
the wounds are fresh and breathing,
they take the air from my lungs to soothe.
Dear friends and waters blood red
and ice cream kisses and shaking
not in fear but years and ages,
but times ill and wet.
An offering today for my safety
in expressional terms of all I am,
a helmut signed in time and still,...
I have no idea.

Its me, your number one fan! This is a little different than usual, and I like it a lot. The ending speaks to me particularly. I still have no idea..either.

I also have no idea. But vivid images. Very esoteric. :P

I have an idea!  BUT IT’S MINE, GET AWAY FROM IT!!!
Sorry, my friend Insanity wrote that.  Superb imagery, geez, I wish I had half your skill.
“the wounds are fresh and breathing”  I like that line the best.
