    for you, whoever you are.

    She writes with a brutal hand,(there is no other way for the brutalized)truth sharpened to a stiletto pointher words crack skin,steal breath,open woundsand longing.Pages grow lustfully,ink turns to flesh,moans echo in strange tongues,and men stiffen in far-off rooms,their borders...

    • hello dearest Benny beautifully written honesty ❤️

    • This is a great “tribute” write. Accurate with its visuals that it creates
      Well written.

    • Thank you Crimsin and Styxian.

    • Aptly written, my friend. The poem sitting on the right somehow makes it perfect and even more poignant.

    • Hoi hoi
      Lured into this write by the artwork
      The artwork is nice, but it’s the write that tells it all.
      Lovely!
      Kind regards, Gus

    • The formatting of your poem gave me an “aha” moment. Now you’ve spoiled me for the left side of the page! Very impressionable lines throughout, like “a storm of naked syllables”. How I wish I had thought of that one. Do you prefer “Benny” or “Peter”? Let me know!

    • Well said. I probably know of which women you speak about. All here are valuable in some way.

    • Do I scare you? Lol. We are all damaged in some way. Some of us try to heal and those efforts may damage others. Everything pours out of me and I write it down. Most if it is “brutal” which is how I described my writing around 2000. Now I use “gritty”. You can empathize or just be thankful for the life you have. Most memories or thoughts can be put down to share.

      • No….you don’t scare me and I appreciate your comment and the honesty in your writing.
        Brutal or gritty has to be written as such.How else can the pain you have endured be conveyed?
        That said, I can only imagine your life….you have lived it
        💋

    • Excellent piece. I’ve read this poem twice and I can feel your passion & respect for her. Well said.

    • I totally get this. Social media has hijacked our brains in a detrimental way to get clicks. People are going to have to wake up and purge themselves before life gets better. I see too many bad things especially on youtube.

      • Social media is blatantly set up to keep us angry yet we all act like it’s ok. I mean I fall for it as well. It’s hard to ignore the bullshit. But they want us angry at each other and not the crooks on the Hill. It will only get better when we vote in kind people and stop hating our neighbors. Though at this point we are way too far down that rabbit hole.

        Thanks for the read friend. Much appreciated.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Spitting facts my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Amazing collaboration my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • For sure. She brought the fire. I miss doing collaborations but I also don’t know if I would do another one. Maybe because the people I did them with felt special to me and I want to keep it that way.

        Thanks for the read friend. Much appreciated.

    • There is a great pain in words
      And there is also joy.

      A really moving piece.

      Regards James

    • Emily Dickinson once said “Words have the power to kill, they also have the power to heal.”
      And here it is the former that occurs.

    • There is nothing quite like the sting of harsh well placed words. We humans can make weapons out of everything. Still, an ugly truth is less harmful than a pretty lie. Excellent write!

    • Given the state of the world, there are consequences to actions.
      Nice spill.

    • I’m a mad, mad man… that is catchy.
      It seems that it states take me or leave me, but I am not changing.

    • Well like the great philosopher Popeye once said “I Yam What I Yam” haha.

      Thanks for the read. Much appreciated.
