The Graffiti Wall

Missing image

 

 

 

The sickness took us -
  threw us up
against the contextual graffiti wall
where the artist, mists of colour
jetting from inside of him,
  left us,
Raggedy Ann slumped -


   breathless
           dazed
               empty


with out hearts exposed –
a thin-edged wedge, driven
splinter-tight between us -
each cough
a regurgitation of letters
in cramped cursive…


          HDILT?
                 LMECTW

                        LM,MM

                               xxxx


while the canker in her belly
spreads like a blossoming lotus
only to shrink and die
     in the welcome embrace 
                         of sleep


where no light pays tribute
          to the artist's exquisite nemesis

    back snapper...

    rituals end when symbology comes to claim our paint finger. one circle from here, a straight line shatters our swollen clarity - a lip stitch into a midnight Aphrodite convention some might call an orgy. but when your wall gets painted and there's more on you back than your front has ever been dipped in, then for certain the arts are just beginning. Crisstiena, how you cross the hairs where your trigger should always click as you pull...

    I can't think of anything to say, but yes. I liked this one very much. Fantastic penning.

    You are such an persuasive talent among us mere mortals, my dear Friend. This is such an elegantly~spun tale, Sweetie. Artiste, you are. Wanda

    You make this sound like a dna strain which is vividly taking over in time, and seems such an intelligent write, and unlike the cures of tomorrow, the graffiti seems to be just as obscure. Great write.
