The Gaping Maw Of Insanity
so very weary
all my pennies have been spent
cast to the crows
who have pecked away my sanity
wrapped in scarlet silk
and cadaverous ink
stretched thin
a taut wire
ready to snap
empty pockets
which I still reach into
nothing but a hole there
a void
from which I can't escape
I lie prostrate
naked and bare
begging for some escape
trapped I lapse
into delirium
reveling in this feeling
hiding where the gaping maw
can't consume me
staying in the shadows
where it's cool

Re. The Gaping Maw Of Insanity
You seem to be keeping your grip and doing it with style, staying where it's cool. It might still be a struggle ("stretched thin / a wire so very taut / ready to snap"). I know the feeling. Into the list it goes, right in the shadows. Excellent work Crim!

A tense and vivid dreamscape - you have such skill in drawing readers in and not letting them go - at least I can go now, into the shadows where it's cool
poetically, you are one of my heroes - keep writing :-)

I'm seeing a gypsy who as temporarily lost her way. Crows are like the ppl who stare/point at her beauty, but then dismiss her. She needs help and those that can refuse to help unless she lets them own her. Her mind is reeling with doubts and fears..but she will survive because she is a gypsy and that what they do. Wonderful imagery and thoughtfulfullness staying true to her.
