for the love of my life

for the love of my life

A Poem by Safrina

This morning I am a snip of cocaine, this morning I clothed our hearts to one and placed us on the washing line.
You knew me, as a crouching tiger. This morning a dry seed licked my arm, told me it is winter  

& in the morning, we talk of systems and flowers and frollickings under the blanket. I have been dating the coffee machine for weeks and now it's morning, I am free.

Your hair is foreign and my head is full of tourists, falling off cliffs. Kant told me we can never represent to ourselves the absence of space, yet i pin my arms back and eat the ovaries on our sofa. Yet it is good, morning says.

Yet it is good, in this moment, to spritz my words like birds in your mouth. It is good to hold a bottled fly and caress it in your palm. It is good, the morning says and it is known you are next to me, in veins and marriages and aviaries of sunshine.

if you step back into the just the right equilibrium after reading this piece, you see how it moves beautifully between frustration and anxiety and into peace and acceptance..it really hits its stride in the 3rd stanza, ideologically and w/ great affection and poise..
You have a brilliant way of finding detachment as you move and explore and filter it unfiltered back onto the page. anyone can see you have the most interesting fusion of metaphors going. It's a shame more people can't just take the time to sit down and read it half a dozen times and present some feedback.
I guess it's just too intimidatingly brilliant. [=
