Young Words From An Old Heart - 7. Chapter 7: Gauntlet

Gauntlet

by bugeye

What does all this mean

This gauntlet of abuse

This challenge of adverse

Constriction

This devastation of dream

This display of

Congress

This dawn of dark desire

Always one mood or another

Call this one discovery

Surface personality

A multitude of things loosely together

Wording words together

A blanket of descriptions

Indefinable, the elusive

Images that are more than content

A new poem maybe

Cut from the scraps left over

Is there explanation for the obtuse

Intellect

Trouble all the time

Outside world

Inside my blanket

This bitter magic of mind

This unleashing deluge

It comes from everywhere now

This word drowning flood

This breath under water

This red water of life

Awakening awareness

Keening sounds marking

Down the spine mocking

This hurting and hurting

Over and over

This self mutilation

Torment caresses

Torture embraces

This poem that never stops

Spelling holding fixing

The emerging self

This pain of joy

This word jazz

This lazy jazz

Of satisfaction

This never never love

This constant erection

This you
