is all it takes to fall out of love
or realise you've fucking died
i'm gonna be beautiful;
bathe in leeches
spit under the solstice moon
kill my father and mother
and brother and sister
i'm gonna be a talker:
smash my teeth and my fists on the stone
lap melted silver like a cat
eat a rare songbird a day
everything i want
i can see and touch
right now
i cradle my dreams like neonatal rats
small and hairless, yet to grow mean
and with tails i can tie together
for a glorious full-grown
precious darling

you're a very disturbing yet interesting writer.
I don't want to say anything too nice,
since I can imagine you sardonically laughing -
and why on earth would I want to make a fool
of myself, but you're good
(and I'm sorry about the poor choice of word) ..

6? Ahhh...it only feels like an infinite instant.....
The range of reaction and response to having the rug pulled out from underneath is in an over reach of vulnerability....risk and consequence....
It can feel like self-betrayal....or breaking out of prison.....and looking directly into that abyss? A poetic moment.

This is amazing. First one of yours I've read and I'm looking forward to more "neonatal rats... yet to grow mean and with tails I can tie together..." Yikes.
