Poetical Musings - 3. I Write in Carnivores
i’ve whittled these words into
impatient mouths who
scamper and cavort about me.
they thirst
and drink my
frustration, hunger
and stipple my fingers
with red tattoos like rashes.
and then, refreshed, they speak
in form of verse with metaphor;
and the tide recedes...
not yet! I call to
the smug Moon, but
she does not cater to the
likes of me.
desperate, I try to take
back my words
as they do.
as they do I
let my veins with this pen
and drink of my
failures.
as they do I
cure my skin and
chew.
the tide returns but
it burns, it mocks my
worded wounds.
