Skin and bread

Skin and bread

A Poem by dukovan

So as i ascend my last Evangelical skin into a nest free version
(sadder and quieter) so far at least as if to now speak mum to dad,
where i can polarize his complex and ricochet headaches to render him futile
always out of love.

I can't quite comprehend the abstracts my mother will bring
wielding both gimmicks and bad intentions, hiding her old recipes
that her mother gave her when her father died.
I was four years old at the time and remember trying so hard to make her laugh.

She spends most her days fearing her dads soul, and wearing his skin.
I count the days until i can say I was right,
but as for now I've lost count again
and I'm waiting for my imagination to kick back in

Fine writing here. D, you've abandoned your ambiguous "it's" for more gripping and compelling illustration. Seems like this piece will open flood gates.
