ponytail
she
falls
upon
affliction
riding through winter
wet with leaves raining in the breeze
eyes cling to her skin
hair tied back
guiding
me
home
skinny
pretty
pins
dangling
from their necks
lowered to the floor
waiting for the balls
to come bowling
down their alley
scars
she is broken
bleeding beauty
untouchable
he bleeds
for her
the caring healer
unstoppable
I'm nothing
no one
nowhere
lost
happy
I knew
she was high
smoking that
space crack
fumbling for the letters in the box
E
is
for
E C S T A S Y
the crossing
the river, tormented by southern winds
blown away, whipped across emerald milk
deep in the undertow, she reigns
die die die
drunkards never stop dying of thirst
addicts keep falling from the skies
gamblers lose their shit shootin' craps
catfish
his lips airtight against the receiver
broken pieces fall without sound
mute drips from the deceiver's tongue
gel-atina
my impure gel-atina
boiled down
her hide embodied
pungent hair
[&] stench of bloody bone
my milky hue
congealed in a wooden box
This is a collection of short poems I've written for various comps and endless threads.

I saw you tagging the walls around town...I have to say the crossing was my favorite!!!

Yeah, I don't mind a bit poetic graff from time to time, it's good to get the creative juices flowing. I'm often in awe or your tags, man, you get me thinking.
I wrote the crossing last weekend, when I was on a vehicle ferry crossing a river. I just wrote what I saw with a twist of mystery.
Cheers for dropping in, soul.

"ponytail" is my favourite. "scars" is relatable and the title to one of my favourite songs by "Elegeion"
All wonderfully written and expressed Alexander. A great collection.

Yeah, ponytail is special one for me, the way the imagery came together, it was written while I was driving. I remember seeing the leaves falling in my rear view mirror.
Thanks for your great feedback, Mags. [loved the song]

The song is maudlin, but fitting in many ways for me. I was hooked from first hearing :)

That's funny, I never thought skinny would be so popular. Thanks snuggle buck for swinging by more poems and stoked you loved them all.
