oh, but i was never heretic, that i could so suspend--
liquid, is belief! cavern waves echo off my hollow skin.
i am Female, in words unutterable, and Male
through such repeat repeat repeating i feel and see:
it's begging me to stop. (or the other way round?)
it gets everywhere! everything and everyone,
within them, or instead of them. Music! silent vibrations
keep us alive, we press these rhythms to serve biology.
(or the other way round?) but patience, patience love, let the song
and everyone finish together, let every paint drip fall,
as we sit by to watch her death, so let the muses
cast their filmy gaze hereward, feel such ice and fire
penetrating through: suspend, o never suspend,
only pray belief never pierce you wholly through.

Have u ever met another GUY poet like you?! I haven't---You usually don't hear men express things in the WAY you do(poetically) unless ur reading from a book. Granted- I only know one girl who is this way too, but I'm just wondering about the prevalence of a poetic nature in men.....hmmm..
ReplyDeleteThis piece was great by the way!
