outlining the way a body decays

this place tastes like grass
and depth;
to chew and swallow and
be consumed by green
[on the inside]
runs like meadows through thought -

breasts are like two
molehillmounds
searching for spring in a new atmosphere



earthworms tickle the core.
dirt has an invisible hunger
that feeds on the lungs;
petalsouls vault from
underneath
after carefully testing the nostrils,



I gasp

    This is my personal comment for the catharsis rounds.
    Upon the closing of the contest, I will comment back with a 'yes' or 'no.'

    That being said, I liked this, though I felt it wasn't your best, in my opinion.
    Putting that aside, your imagery was gorgeous and word choice was near flawless as well.


    Thanks for entering, I'll be back.

    I wouldn't say this is your best,
    but that aside, it was pretty damn good.

    searching for spring in a new atmosphere

    I love that.

    What a creative idea to write about!!

    I loved this piece because your so harsh. Your just saying that we decay into the ground, and that is it. It really creates a bitter and affective tone for the piece...

    ... and I really liked the ending, of course

    Well done. Thanks for the entry.
