justify!
if not what she does, what she doesn't. she is a pinched valve, she has to take something to give. she used to think so. now she for sure knows. contraindications: she cannot maintain an erection or give birth.
alone is no burden. alone is just fine. it is less of nothing.
it would be satiating to break the seal and forfeit the warranty on it. to void her nothing. but it is like waiting for reincarnation. on that day will be candles and cake which we will eat them both. the fall will be with one step backwards and she will lie supine showing blooded gums and canines, no broken bones.
the choice: she can follow her umbilical cord right back to the minotaur. or she can stay. and she can stay but why, wherefore, and by what name do you call the scent of lure that it smells fouler? and can the sky be shaded from her so she does not have to yearn to bite it? she has wit and sharpness and a lizard's third eyelids but her heart inside her is stuffed and trussed with bacon, her tongue salted.

look, you. i don't know who you are, or what you're up to with the "fellswoopfist" name, but these are bloody poetry, not non-fiction prose! this one's cleverly sideways, and something to be deciphered...i just haven't the wit to decipher it in the time i have available at the moment. the feelings, though; the feelings come through the imagery and even without understanding the metaphors, i can gather the jist through the images presented. and the line length makes the *poem(s)* move quicker for me, almost a scattery, panicky last few thoughts in the last big blast. but you finish it quiet, like you started it. i like that. nicely done. i think?

i misunderstood the category, intentionally.
thank you for your visceral response.

(i was positive that was intentional... i've considered utilizing the least-read category myself upon occasion.) [:
