Brutal Clarity


We - I - seek with hands out loud
                                                  in the dark
                                          fingers screaming
palms kissing
                                  all other palms We - I - meet


in a desperation of sound
                            to outshout the silence



Please tell me what you think

    This is great! I have no idea why I haven't seen this before. I really like the creative use of spacing, it makes the feeling of "i'm grasping at straws to fill the emptiness and sometimes it doesn't work" visually accessible. That enhances the piece, at least in my opinion. I love "fingers screaming". Very original. Overall, a fascinating piece.

      Thank you

      Glad you liked it. And as for the no maple syrup thing... can't imagine a world without it, but that is my Yankee imagination failing, not the world.

      Regards,

      Tryst

    This is wonderful! I love the spacing, it really works with this write, sometimes I find it can be really distracting, but here it just flowed so well I hardly noticed; It lends this piece a little bit of a dreamy feel. While I enjoy the poem on a whole, and I find the syntax to be flawless, I really like the line 'palms kissing' - it creates a beautiful picture and feeling. This is an awesome write!

    Best to you
