I spent today with
my heart in my
mouth
Unable to speak
for fear
it would fall
out
spilling its
contents too close
to my feet
a bloody pool
offering
slippery defeat
so i kept my mouth
closed
and silence
ensued
For it's too big to
swallow
and too
scarred
to chew

very well written as usual
good to see your still as good as always. I'm still alive if you ever wondered. try so hard to be like you. couldnt be so i said adou. please write me -
I really enjoyed the straight forward nature of this poem. I believe The CheshireKat called it unapologentic imagery and I would have to fully agree. Each stanza feels complete and the concept is flushed out. Once again I am impressed.

i like the visceral, unapologetic imagery, used- as always- to great effect.

now that i think of it, didn't you write something very like this years and years ago? or is time just not as linear as we all think?
