Pave the Path

if you get the pun then you get the person. be smart and you can have all my secrets.

Deep in the flux of your valley

Iron strikes, cold as gnat's piss--

Combing through time with wired fingers

Electro, Electra cool me off;

Ich steige, du steigst

Strait-jacket, wringing oil,

Bleed it from your pores, this is

How to be a being bee. 

Who am I?

I am Paul, Saul of Tarsus

Who are you,

O window shadow of divine galore?

A pilgrimage through your veins!

Sacrifice of the internal, serve it up

On my groins, greedy snap! Disappointment,

I plead, please come back to me.

Ick liebe thee, ick ick,

I am too silly for the throat, so I float,

Squalid seas touch in a way I did not ask,

Take me as the tide, I did not ask.

If I am worse today I will make an effort.

Isssshhh, isssshhh, the throat deceits me

The wind shushes me, turns me away into the blatant storm,

I wrinkle up, shrewd and compliant, 

This is how to be a song 

Symphonising through every nerve-ending 

They near. One, be more.

Two, be less.

Oh, squalid one! -- Science does outnumber you

By one, smug self, you brought this on yourself

Darling elf, budding pelvis, I shrunk onto you

All of forever, eternal and ever.

Abigail, when I read this piece for the the Bad a*s women contest, I liked it right away. The language used had me feeling that this was a statement by a strong woman. She has had obstacles to face and there will be more. This felt like a poem about the very essense of woman, her body and what it is capable of. I have to admit, some of the meaning has gone right over my head, I just liked the feeling some of the lines and words brought to me. Interesting work, I enjoyed reading it very much. Congrats on the Honorable mention and thank you for submitting. Angi~
