Out Making Anticlines

0 posted 2003-11-17 07:53 PM



Dinner

anger simmers
oversalted until
little cristals of it
hang like grit that
won’t dissolve

words served raw
over thougts that
can’t be made
from a simple
recipe of letters

we slice the feelings
cut them thin to let
the flavor out
then wonder why
the meat is dry

there’s ash
of remorse
in the bread
the crust gone
to leather from it

oh the scent is
fine and all the
dishes pretty

the dessert
sugarless

What an unappealing meal... and how well so many of us know its taste... have had it served (or dished it out *G*) many times. *S*

This is excellent, Jamie... I hope you find sweetness to savor soon! *S*

that one cuts right to the bone

some things are simply indigestable

powerfully descriptive...enjoyed reading this even if it did have a sharp edge

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

amazing metophores! I think I'd like to be sent to bed without dinner now

Only when all hope seems lost, can you hope to find yourself
