Mousing
The neighbors are fucking again.
One slab of meat slapping off the other:
greedy, porcine, he grunts, she grunts.
My cigarette heats a fingernail
bringing me back to my own frigid hands.
I ping it far enough to land in their garden.
She squeals; her Polish is music. I wonder
if she sounds like that when he's out of her.
I see my empty bed and my eyes fall
cuntwards.

Wonderful! it can't get better than this. Every line is loaded with spite and desire in equal measure. The last line is a killer. wow! Love the way you write.

so good to see you back at it [:
this one's thick with a near disdain, and the understanding in the way thoughts just go that direction when you're not asking for them. you're excellent with the show-not-tell, as you always have been. to the point and not as much as a frill. *like* [:

There's a lot I enjoyed here. Firstly I loved the contrast between the "porcine" neighbours fucking next door, and your "frigid" hands - jarring and evocative.
I really like the line "her Polish is music" but personally I would have preferred her language to remain nameless - mysterious even. Hope you don't mind me saying so.
I also love the poem's ending on "cuntwards". I don't think I've seen that word elsewhere! I used it once in an old poem, but here it works perfectly.
Thanks for the read.

No. Thank you, Cthonian. And of course I don't mind. Not even a little. Glad you liked the poem, and I appreciate your honesty, as always. Thanks again, Cthonian.

I am amused by this. It sounds like you had fun writing it, although it sounds like it was written in irritation. Nice job.
