amputee's embrace amidst
a battle between cannibals
cast for broken bones
dictionary of tongues
escape into that
flesh everyone has worn
gaping wound of mouths
hiss between rosaries of teeth
instinct of torsos
just a
key to bodies without locks, such a
lonely way to live
morsel sticky-sweet
neck's nape, where we hide kisses
orange, round and pored
patient
question asked in touch and haste
a rage of
a silence
ticket to a run-down carnival where
urgency of fingers
violence of hips
wound an absence shaped, like
xylophone's quiet harmonics
yearning toward yourself, a
zoo-full of domesticated beasts
bonus points to anyone who makes a guess on what it's about, though i haven't the foggiest what these 'points' of mine might be, or be useful for.
okay, okay, so I admit it's a crapulous, and possibly even mean question. truth to tell, i was inspired to ask by a discussion ValCapone and I have been having re: whether or not a poem can be considered a success if a person can't say what it is about. so far, i've got one stab at a theme and several 'i don't know, but i like it.'
so, looks like i'm winning. HAH!
thank you for participating in the experiment.
