The Temporary Filling Of
May 24, 2011 § 14 Comments
Farewell bone sister
stone says to skin
think of me thin
tramp and link
how easy it is to
rid view of your half full glass
all grains gone
gone at last
brief affair
paused implicit there
chance your glow
your power your sex says
lovely tits. lovely big ass.
I use the word lovely too much, she admits sheepishly
brief illusion
Boston hotel room. I’ve never been so fucking happy and I should have known better to have you and my whole world, my whole city, in that window, cold pain, forehead pressed, contracting and expanding with pills and wine and loose scarf and crossed legs on an office chair and can I just watch you tell a story
a play on words
words like
forever
hard
love
adore
trust
soul
seen change to black, or maybe red curtain crash
characters are
words like
I NEED SOME TIME
alone
never again
deny hypocritical
mrs. popular
with jewel eyes
lust new york hotel room picture flirtation heavy words responsibility denial of true entrance never full open honest he was yours first but then he was mine before I knew he was yours always that secret right? right? I thought it was because he was all you wanted I promised it was you above him in my heart and you took of that, ate the bread of my words
exit, stage right
magic reset button
take this pill
she will be gone
peace keeps secrets real well
bitter will hope something withers
hope something of me was making you a certain way and now it dies but other part of me will hope something grows and she will think of it as given by you and not rip down floral creation, tiled erection, trellis of loving and adoration, I will tell my girl her girlfriend is cancelled too they never called you anything they never got used to you told me to come to meet the family as I should like I would be there forever, but those were just words
this thing has a birth
it’s there with you
I can never visit
my birthplace again.
no more words.
my secret if I were to approach you ,beg you to take me back, throw aside my pride you know how I love it yet continuously destroy it to prove my love I’m good my love I’m good strike your words from the record.
no more words.
NO MORE WORDS I SAY
this is just temporary
remind me again
everything is temporary like that line in that movie and like that line in that neil young song this old guitar ain’t mine to keep its mine to play for a while or like old tom said the world is not my own I’m just a passing thru
heart A a dither says to heart B you have stolen something
casual and cute to me
heart B is het up because all the alphabet has forsaken her, a’scared for their permanence, silence, vacation
he is not casual and cute to me
he isn’t your one and only
why unwilling to grant
no you won’t disembrace, but cloak in concern and all the alphabet joined in
words
declaration of
rip
crack
break
space
state-wide
might as well be Michigan forever
Im working it out
no ill will/allowed tantrum
out of the canal anyway
out of earshot freezeframe junkie gun run
precious babies are so safe
toxic behavior saving grace for wine snobs
a drunks a drunks a drunks a
heart A says to heart B he, he should be enough
oh daddy, I’m hurting now
what a vicious removal, what a shocking predicament
foreshadowed
by words words words
shot in
but trickle out.
the temporary filling of
This one is so rich with content and emotion. Impressive!
Thank you. Very little editing…
Free-flowing thought is awesome.
Too good…
no such thing as too good…
There is when you compare it with ones own words
‘Lovely’ stream going on here.
I like the part about using the word lovely too much. Honestly, I use the word honestly too much.
That makes some people suspicious.
ha! you are too funny…
Simply superb.
Oh, and lovely
This is a poem we would call of “grande fôlego”, meaning that you have to breathe deeply to produce something like this… I think you are a great writer.
deep and beautiful.
Happy Potluck!
This is just awesome I love the style, I love the emotional content everything
I loved the disjointed yet stream of consciousness flow
