Cross It

String up
the tightrope,
make me

wobble. Return
the bed of nettles,
I crave

ruddiness. Punch
a hole in my side
to leak

a burn
to the doorways
I ball-up in.

It used to be important,
the sting. Now it is

imperative

to remembering
almost
bliss.

    this was a pleasure to read i really liked a lot of the lines in this one, just an idea perhaps you could end it simply with the word- imperative- i think that would give it more punch at the end, mind you thats just my hummble opinion, i really enjoyed this poem

    I wonder

    The sudden change of value and the temperment of a sly Fox. Where shall it lead to in the end? I, forever learning.

    Great title. I'm thinking, someone out there is bound to get the message and "cross it". This deeply passionate, beautiful writing. Geo

    with a sense of sharp carving nestled in a robust consolation, this is a well-arranged justle and spar for position. the incubation period isn't long, but it lends to the poem's urgency, if you will. a cigarette for a tobacco patch?
