Gagging

I've taken myself apart
every night since
I learned how to
swallow a pen
without
gagging

What do you mean "taken myself apart"
Lovely poem as always :)

It means that I deconstruct and............... well a quote just popped in my head and its very fitting .... Writing is one of the few professions in which you can psychoanalyze yourself, get rid of hostilities and frustrations in public, and get paid for it. ~Octavia E. Butler

well not so much the paid part lol but thats the just of it

[The Nude Writer]

I get it :) thanks :)

Erotic without meaning to be or blatantly being so. Such powerful emotion and expression as usual. Excellent piece, Sam.

I like this poem. A perfect quote for a lead for a book. Poetry can make us wander back in time to relive pleasure and pain. The pen is our friend or enemy sometimes? Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
