grease and joy
a dully bitter taste
rings liquid through cavities
electricity plays the cochlea
a song no one else remembers:
an anthem for childhood

why are you so ugly?
ugly
ugly ugly

once, understanding-
or, diluted- acceptance
but satellites fell
the sun god was sold
and delilah's scissors scrubbed
and laid to rest in barbicide

so feel me up
and get it over with
so i can sink back down

Wow Jannel!

"so feel me up
and get it over with
so i can sink back down"

Excellent ending!  Hope all is well.  Take care!

Wow Janell, what a poem. Really powerful to read and full of pain. Hope you are okay.

Be well

I liked the technique - was it born of frustration? That's the way it goes with me sometimes....

Frustration and pain - indeed fueled a great work here.  This is a great image of when you are at that point, and sort of don't want to care anymore what happens to you.. but still you care..  Well Done
