DECOMPOSITION
You’re gorgeous and slightly terrifying
Part of me wants to run away
Another wants to bury myself in your fertile earth
And decompose into something truly wondrous

That opening line just grabs you from the get go (hence why I’m here when I saw it in latest poems!)
This is beautiful in its analysis of what love is. Yes there is beauty in the wonder of it all, but there’s also beauty in falling apart, and this piece explores that well.
I thought this was a wonderful example of brevity. Thank you for sharing.

You are most welcome. This was one of those that just poured out quickly, with very little editing.

This is gorgeous. Your use of words like “terrifying” and “decompose” is a fantastic juxtaposition to the entire theme of love. You were my favorite minimalist writer when I came to DU and you continue to be. Always a pleasure to read you.

Ah E, you honor me with such words. Some love is a dark prism- great for poems, questionable for sanity.
