I Want

edited January 2006 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
Not solely to f#ck you, of course,
But to almost literally serve you
Upon the finest China

Sloppy and Raw

Dripping with the juice you stewed in
Half-eaten and picked apart,
Smiling at the warmth.

I want
Not only to percieve your merest nerve
But to sniff at it as a flower,
The deepest root, the simplest art.

I want
Above all else
To exchange an awkward glance with you
As we tremble slightly
For opposite reasons.

    It's amazing the images you were able to write in such a short space. Sloppy and raw . . . yet dripping. The opposite reasons I didn't get, but I'm probably just stuck on the sloppy and raw bit.

    this is absolutely wonderfull... where in PA?

    i'm of the Biglerville variety, if you know your apples... if not, it's beside those ghosts of Gettysburg.
    change begins with discontent.

    Do you think I'm trying to turn people on with this poem?

    Deliciously awkward, like most of the meetings between people who have lived most of their own very recent pasts and possible futures inside of their own heads
