Blood
I've got a filthy mouth,
& a house of stars
thriving in my throat.
21 years
silent
& I still have yet to tame
this grounded constellation
I call my temple. -Slithering
tongue hissing too many
"fuck you's" against my teeth.
I fear I will write myself hollow-
or until my bones are corroded away
& I am nothing-
an insignificant nebula
orbiting the wrong atmosphere.
But, my veins bleed sweet ichor,
& words are only words, Mother.

When you write, are you done, or do you go back and edit, revise ?
Jeeeeesh I would love to see a publisher get a hold of you.
You have some exquisite little diamonds in your writing.

I edit for spelling and grammatical errors when I spot them, or when I feel a piece just isn't finished. But I don't do much revising for the most part. And with this piece, there was no editing what so ever. I feel it speaks for it's self really.
I am planning on self publishing eventually. :)

Okay, while all of it was very good, from the set up on through-- the close of this most definitely set it off. Excellent write DearPoetry.
