Foreign AnglesA Poem by gypsyroseColor climbs and rides my eyeballs. I see black and blue straight through two phone calls. After this, the color falls and drips like my acrylics. My ceiling sings a lonely song of morals, doctrines, rights and wrongs. The lyrics leak from every corner and dribble down along the foreign angles. My floor aches and shakes and flails from every drop of paint and nails; it has yet to scale out in detail; this female…. My pillows yawn and fall asleep, and as they sleep they dream of me and as they dream, they sing something about you. The curtains kept my deepest secrets hidden. Well, of course, up to the point in which they didn’t. “To the grave,” I said. They didn’t listen. So now it goes: open, no, close. Harder, no, don’t… is there a f*****g difference? Those words will float forever in my cognition. And I know you know the code: ‘Please stay, just go.’ Is it for my stomach? Is it for my throat? Well if I screamed yes instead of no would it have made a difference? © 2012 gypsyrose |
