scandal by ~daffodils:icondaffodils:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Experimental > Typographical


I stitched
the pieces together,
licking the corners like an adulterer; saliva
on paper on cotton on silk.

frayed edges, two button hole eyes
a fresh slit for a mouth.

immediate attention
to the navel
and a line of brown and red
turning yellow at the corners,
two drops of salt solution
dribbled above
like the remnants of a past life.

just a second. just a second.

naked for a dress
i watch her writhe and wriggle
clambering towards the miracle edge of a blade;
contemplating humiliation and the ringing of strange telephones.

i'm not feeling entirely eloquent these days so excuse my ambiguity.... i definately enjoyed what i read... your poem did something for me, but i can't put words on what at the moment.

maybe i'll do better next time

I love a poem that makes me want to figure out every little thing about it, but which I thoroughly enjoy reading over and over while knowing I'll never quite get there. Poetic S&M? Maybe. More wholesome at least, I figure =p

If I'm not writing, I'm just sitting here changing oxygen into carbon dioxide. Like a baby. A little shit and piss factory, maybe one day a man. Be a man today, motherfucker.

!

Y'know the way Rodney Dangerfield adjusts his tie when he's nervous or excited? Yeah, I'm doin' one of those.

But of course (again--and who's this with the prolific thanks now! I don't fuck people up as a general practice, but I might just have to bust out some new writing that puts the poetic S&M kaibosh on you). ooo
