Moist and emblematic
My affirmations
are muffled
by a flood of
salt and sin
as my name
is panted
like a totem
against evil
your musk
seeps into
every pore
of this room
and the bed
shudders
in beautiful
effigy

Thanks cathedral. I like to hear myself talk so most of my shit is loong to appease my ego.
But for a perfect moment… nope, doesn’t have to be long.

I have this pin badge, which was merch from Fleassy Malay (one of my most favourite spoken word artists) that simply says the word “moist” on a metal pin badge. No other word strikes such fear into both the eyes of the reader and the memory of the wearer. The title of this reminded me of this, safely pinned to my bag.
Panted like a totem against evil is a nice touch to this. Both audible and phallic. Two birds, one stone.
In the spirit of honesty, I’d throw that semi-colon in the bin. As the only piece of punctuation in the whole piece, it feels like it hinders the flow of what is a beautiful thought. Just my own opinion of course.
Thank you for taking the time to enter this into my comp.

Honestly, I used moist just to make people ceingw in the classy erotic postings. 😇
Heh.
Heh heh
I can’t tell you how hard I love the fact that you have a moist pin. That is fucking stellar.
Thank you for noting my phallic symbolism. I refrained from calling it a hot dog. Aren’t you proud of me?!
I deleted it. It sounded cooler in my head. The…. Pause. But yeah, the semi added nothing
You are always the baddest bitch in the club, lovely. Thanks for the comp. It’s been fun. And thanks for the r/r.

Dear B,
Stop it! Love it. Has that less is more vibe I dig. “and the bed shudders in beautiful effigy” brilliant. The imagery and story of this poem is such the reader can fit themselves in the situation, which is awesome. H🌷

I struggle with minimalism... period.. but I really struggle with creating it to be this meaty (heh heh), hearty and super impactful.... I have the utmost respect and appreciation for those who can pen it as beautifully as this... Your writing prowess knows no bounds...
There's so many amazing things packed in, it's like cleaning out /unpacking your purse with all these hidden pockets and finding all these personal "trinkets" you'd forgotten where there....I get excited bout those little things... lmao...
Thank you for being here lady.

Hello Betty
Goodness you are ferocious, I loved the primal and spiritual layers within this poem, the impact of line breaks gifts the reader another dimension of aggression and carnal thinking when read aloud, the smell of musk and the bed shuddering in beautiful effigy in the closing lines gives a beautiful balance of masculinity and femininity which is a lovely round off to the poem.
Kind Regards

You know, you can get the generic version for like .20 cents a gallon cheaper at the 7-11.
But hey... thanks for filling up on the original. I really do appreciate you Styx.
Seriously.

Silly woman, there is no substitute. My engine would be so sluggish.
Nah. I will pay the extra for the good stuff.
