The Thick of It
Here in the garden of paradox
lies a misshapen form acutely aware
of absolute, persistent denial.
Your fingers pulsate against
spongy flesh, finding
the sting of barbs.
Scarlet drops are absorbed
by a dust of hunger—
Let me sleep.

We read this and sees an image of a scared knight poking a sleeping dragon with a wooden sword. The dragon awakens only to refuse to eat the knight, haha maybe because he's a vegetarian. Tight work Lady

I love your interpretation. Interesting that you chose a wooden sword. Thanks for your support, brother.

The imagery of it, succinctly rendered, is rather potent and lurid. It's good to see some writing from you. The close at the end is like a plea I know personally so well.

Layers...that is an interesting way to look at it. I'm not sure if it's an onion or an orange :P Thank you so much for having a read, Adelphina. It's much appreciated.

Dear E,
This brings many buried thoughts to the surface of reality. Painfully in need of release. Exquisitely written. H🌷

I think sometimes those buried things need to be brought to the surface and then expelled. There are many things that have no place in the depths of our soul. Thank you for being you, H. You have to know you are the best <3
