Spillage
Let loose of grammar, stammering through
unversed lines
in persistent attempts to share language-art
with other
listening eyes and seeing ears I drag my
intensities
across smooth sheets, roughening with the
touch of my word's breath; rasping lately from having poured out
so much in so few sound shapes. And
still in the cold
communication of eyes locking and staring
all the same
way , chills through my layers of artificial
skin.
My steel knuckled hand clenches tight and
then tighter
to restrain from desired acts of violent
subterfuge.
Tearing words from my own lips; thrown
mercilessly;
my partial death on your lap. Instead,
I might maintain
a light composure before all premature
conveyance
can be fully stopped. Then suddenly there
I go
again hurdling bridges, its such a different
view
altogether from the eye's corners, where
empty spaces
will dance on spindled legs and we are
left
still hungering for an unfound, unfathomable
taste,
some where between earth and chocolate.
