Unspeakable
these emotions cannot fit the human mouth
these
emotions fly about like bats at night these
rake beneath the hedges for the slow worms
find them napping take the blood vein
out this
emotion stole from me all honey
every
place I left the
keys that open up the doors
to all the fat round hugs the dripping seeping
beasts be quiet
they are aware that we are
here
even underneath this star
nicely compact - great punch at the end
ReplyDeleteI want to see a list of these emotions
d'oh! First line!
