The reach

You shared
one moment - wasted in dire midnight!
Then retold the sworn repose
in a fit of florid detail
and fateful Tuesday mourners.

 

There is no hedonistic praise, no latent permission

nor is there a rebounding energy to latex

your pain in a swatch of bliss-less ignorance

there is just the next week.

 

A file to be reborn

to be written down as sacraments,

the new words fall with a smirking dilemma.

Until the pen fades, washed by Vodka shots

and whispered, sniping harpies who's reality

is to see their pain in your life.

 

Then, when the road's sodden,

you wilt like a clay child

that holds out his heart,

open palmed, to his mourning mother

as she hears the sins

of scented silence.

  • When I read a poem that I especially like, I always carry a phrase with me that haunts. Course that would be the whole last stanza but especially " the sins of scented silence."

    I'd probably steal that line if I could put it in a fuck poem. ( and give you no credit, of course )

    "Scented silence" is something not alot of people would take the time to get. The latex thing was blunt and so true.

    Honestly, the Spider that Smiles could write Poop in the white square his first time posting since a long time away and I'd call it poetic.



    last stanza very good. painful and good. Write some more please.

    This is very very different.. I like it. I can't write to the ways of others and I love to see someone pen because they love what they write. scented slience is such a chilling two works. I can't put my finger on why. But it gave me shivers.. I like this write keep penning!!

    might "just next week"
    might make sacraments singular,

    might do this, might do that, might not, depends.

    might make the road sudden. Might not.

    I am thinking there are too many "poets" these days, hopefully some of them will graduate to writing for yachting magazines, or become investigative reporters in Madrid--

    Don't know why that is, so many poets, so few poems, and so forth. I'd reckon there is no cure for this poetedness unless one was to blow up the internet, or the economy really went south and they suddenly discovered what things were really worth.

    I note some lady in Scotland won the T.S. Eliot prize, I also note the primacy of production values, advertising, and marketing. Somewhat cynical I suppose I've become. Not that I have any bright ideas about any articles for a yacting magazine.

    ain't u daid yet?

    hey! this is centered, must break somebodies cardinal rule where things fall out of the box 'n' such.

    personally, I am purty glad u ain't daid yet-course u cain't get famous 'n' such till u is--unless of course u is a salesman poet which is kinda of a contradiction in terms, and sorta makes the whole enterprise seem somewhat dodgy--cause being a product is kinda creepy.
