    Some Call Them Interludes

    Before    Time was once apple  skinned and quartered  still hanging from the tree,  as if a disembowelled astronaut  hanging from moon gallows    At the hill’s summit  we knelt among the dead,  ate the rancid gifts from their bodies  flesh of berries, mouths and holes    of skin, until the sky  darkened...

    • I always like it when someone starts with an object, “Apple,” and ends with the same object. This is good. I enjoyed it.

    • Yeesh! I’m hoping Del skips this one! (we’re planning a ’27 wedding). lol.
      Your poetic strength is maybe lost on some readers, because you go deep like this. There’s geometry in this creation, angles and dark corners. I can take the weight, though, when reading your powerful lines. Because there is reward in finding the meanings and how we perceive it all. Outstanding depth here.

    • As always Mark, I’m so pleased someone gets me.

    • It seems that we need them both to see each other’s point of view.

    • Thanks for your considered comment.
      I only put the political line in to highlight the point that one exists because of the other.
      My politics are on the left because that’s where I see less selfishness but in truth there is only a bees dick between most political parties.
      Business runs the show.

      And on a whim.
      I think I like you 😜

    Obsession

    Obsession     My life stings with your lost shadow, it used to drape across my heart. Unworthy of a cool drink and the feel of spring water I relent to your ever probing kiss pulling me into deeper darkness. Oh, my blood thirsty princess don’t you know I was...

    • I remember this song well. Tremendous work. You nailed it.

      • Hi Thomas, it is a great song! Nice to see you here, and welcome your comment. Thank you!

    • She was “tasty”…er… perhaps I should have kept that to myself. ;0) In the end, though, she was the one who consumed me. Isn’t this the way all ‘obsessions’ end?!!

      Mary, searching for and posting this older poem, was worth getting the comment you left. I’m glad you “loved everything about it.”
