just a minute ago, i was floating up amongst
the birds && bees--
now I'm down against the cold compost
feeling the earth moving from the worms
&& slugs crawling around beneath me.
my throat feels as if a snail has lodged
its shell under the skin on the left side
&& my heart feels slightly like you don't care for it right[here.right]now

Wow, your images are amazing. My skin is almost crawling and I don't even mind the creatures you describe, it is just the way you use them to convey so much more. I loved the ending as well, it really put across that feeling when you doubt how much someone cares. Great Work x

You nailed that down in the dumps feeling wonderfully! Isn't that an odd way to put it.
But its true. Nicely done!

LalaLOVED this :] Especially just the whole concept of it. Metaphorically speaking, you are a metaphoric writer. I honestly wish I could write metaphorically, but I really can't. bahaha
