The little Death
-
To give myself into the squeeze
The squelch of suffering in an unconscious plain of despair
The utter absence of light or dark
The gray sweltering inside my guts
I found the little death
As I rode the expedition of mortal sin
Sun diving into my pores like a gregarious whore
That reflected my desire
My utterly irrational desire
My fears locked in a naked room
That was like vomit inside crystal
Wrapped in tight plastic and fool’s gold
I found your little death like a chokehold
You choke me you drew out all of my memories like a pointed sieve you killed me you gave me infinite drops of blood in your water
Losing my soul in between your legs
Like a broken piece of clothing you cannot take off
Little death, little death
You’re in me forevermore

Awesomes!
Whoaaaa, this was so freaking intense and powerful! Loved your poem!
I was reading this metaphorically, feeling the helpless angst & horror of one's own desire, until I got to the line: "Losing my soul in between your legs," at which point I found myself thinking, "Wouldn't a little KY gel take care of the problem?" I know. I'm terrible.
I have to agree with Cathy, there isn’t one line here that isn’t powerful and beautiful. Well done
Damn. I can't even highlight anything here because the whole is just frigging awesome.
