What About Dogress?

sometimes poetry is explosive and sometimes it's exposé and sometimes it's language beautifully stretched to make you feel and sometimes it's just language attacking itself in blossomed bloodied rage. Or..new poem.

Metamorphosis of Narcissus 1937, Salvador Dalí

When that which is wrought is from darkness

And the spaces between the words spoken

Are at times are less and few less and few

---

Elevation could do easily go to my head

But what if it was to your head or a instead

Should I become you for universality or not

---

I never struggle I just wrought the classics

Of my mind in the form that just best fits

But I always struggle in the afterglow of it

---

Should I change it all rather I than you?

I seek to understand for I am just a man

---

-

**Hell is other no not people

hell is other I's**

-

---

When they lift their disguise, you see eyes

---

-

---

Strip the repetition condense and disintegrate

God that smells awful doesn't it? Please emanate

---

no means no but I means I when I vs I is me not you

---

-

---

Thunder should change I

---

When that which is no

Not wrought in darkness

---

Spaces between the words

Offer no absolution or recourse

---

Less then less then lesser few

---

Elevation of my head

Double meaning

---

What if it was to your head

---

Should I change the I to you

---

You never struggle you just wrought the classics

but you always always struggle in the afterglow of it

---

You seek to understand for you are just a man

--+

no means no but you means you when you vs you is you not me but still me

---

But I digress

Always always always

Always dogress
