heh everyone, my muse ran off with the milkman so there has been no poetry for a while from my pen. here is one that has done the rounds a few times that I really like. BY the way there is suppose to be humour in it well sacrasm at least. ============================================ Territory Scratched a circle in the dirt. This will be my place to stand and lay my feet hibernate and deceive. Broken branch in hand I can stab fatal words here mutilated soil clings to my open wounds. The fresh bait is what I have always been. I am not ready for this, not today nor yesterday every second forever delayed. This is my territory claimed in the name of necessity, every vertical requires a stone to lend against. Some deserters wander upon me like stray dogs sniffing the tattered bone. They come to inspect, make a mark dose me with urine and leave. "It is not the environment but how you use it", what fool choked upon that truism knew nothing of me! This country like all others offers only sadist respect, it is the rush of heroin, the stabbing needle the spilt second honeymoon the rest is nightmare dependency. Bogged down in negative reflections it is all the same just another time filler until I can fill a hole somewhere I have never been now that would be a nice holiday! The sun dazzles my eyes, there is a moment of dreaming at least, no more no less. A vulture waits as long at it takes. I wear a dying garment my cells decaying and exploding into wrinkles. Just watch myself become dust, there is a certain comfort in this hopelessness. Maybe I should have surrounded myself with people become distracted in companionship, formed bounds and sought comfort in shared desolation I did once call cried so loud but no body ever came that was so long ago….it does not matter any more.

Hello m'luvie! I remember this one I think. I love the wry tone and the determination here (reminds me of someone  )Claiming territory...I believe we all have to sooner or later. As always reading you is like wading into the ocean--deep with wave after wave to pull you further in. (I'm a fan...heh heh...) |

heh Serenity, thanks for your wonderful comments. I believe we all need personal space that space can be a prison some times as satre once said "if you go into exile you lose your place in the world" "you are what you own in this land, you can be king and it all depends on the view and what you can see" Whipping boy |
