excremental mastication

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson

I guess I still have a little bitter in me

I can hear you
you know,
masticating on your
falsehoods,
drawing your spite
like a bow,
pinning your
crimes on me.

I can hear you,
you know,
chewing your
sick cud of
indignation,
watching the
lies drip from
your lips.

I can hear you
you know,
a drooling, rabid thing
trying to prove
the excrement
on his hands
is just chocolate,
by licking it off.

Now there is a succinct review.

haha, actually, there is one thing I'm wondering about. "on his hands." Who is "he" ?

Damien Thibodeaux

When I read the title of this, I just couldn't resist. Bitter, indeed. But who isn't when attacked with betrayal and lies, with intent to discredit and hurt. And you told this so well! I love the execution of this work and the grotesque descriptiveness.

You know, this reminded me how much I hate loud eaters... Hahaha! I had the image in my mind of how he put all the blame on you while he enjoyed a sweet desert. What a dick move. Love this! xo :)

This is true, I had visions of his gross way of eating all the way through ...

Lies ruins many relationships, if one never truly care or never really honest, then a relationship like that is not worth keeping. Very expressive piece!

Wow...amazing writing here hun. I love the biting anger in this one...and I hate to say it but I lived this myself. Maybe they are distant relatives or something. Sigh....

Seems like a few of us have been with the same.

jacob erin-cilberto

how often does this happen...the one who perpetrates the misery in a relationship shifts the blame...

yet we still blame ourselves, thinking, "what could i have done differently?"
but once we realize, we tried, the other person didn't ---and we can accept and forgive ourselves, we can move on...regardless as to whether we can forgive the other.

i have some feelings that have lasted more years than i care to imagine...as much as i try...i cannot forgive...moved on yes, but forgive....some things we just can't---

Yes, moving on and past is different than forgiveness. One step at a time.

The title of this one had me laughing before I opened it up to actually read it. The imagery is so intense and 'in your face' brutally honest, bitter, yet brilliant. You know...he's always going to have some pull on you until you can completely realize that he is not worth your latest thought, much less your latest string of poems, and let it go. Forgiveness is the balm to the bitter pill you had to swallow, yet it is also the path to your freedom. It is easier to forgive if you can find pity for the POS that he is, was, and continues to be. Some men/and women, somehow passed up the line when the angels were handing out souls and consciences. You are better than he will ever be. Pity him for his POS life and his poor chances for an afterlife. Brilliant writing, by the way!!! Be at peace, my northern friend.
