The Gorge
Recall stalls...
-
At pressing
impressions
peanut butter
dusty
spice shake
hills;
and chills
-shrill-
scythes up the spine
It was an August fever
109
It was an orange
sundried tomato
gorge;
And I committed so much
optical gluttony
Arched
and clenched
in raspy grasps
of anarchy
Imbibing in flesh
crossing scalded
thresholds
of spirit and clothes
Giving grimy fingernails
to the lead
of unhallowed
undertow -
In a land
of no water
Spied by speckles
of tiger fire
sand
Play, play, play...
fringe stage
arcane
nameless
band
Slash me in
metal distortion
contorting
thrash
like a cat o' nine
Lecherous libations
heavy, heavy, heavy...
heaving heartbeats
haywire
hot, hot, hot...
Heat rash
bonfires
Sweated potations
swing off
limbs;
Cremation within
seared consciences
tan toned backs
naked and raked
Trances dance
through red pepper
lawless
torrid Twilight's
horrid
euphoric
chorus

Author's Note
Double-entendre here; it was a gorge (music fest), AT the gorge (Colombia Gorge, WA state) I'm not proud.
I agonized over which category to place this.

Damn girl! I wish I had but a small pinch of your talent.
Mirror Crim's comment.
Ain't no night with the Boston Philharmonic, but
either can leave you breathless and entranced.
Beautifully done.

I know where the symbology went for me. I'm not sure if it was the intended place, but if it was, kudos.

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that that was actually your first impression :) It was...in a sense.

There are times that I do not fully understand your poems but they are always beautiful to read and to read out loud - I bow to your talent and skills - when I grow up I want to write like you :-))))))
