A Reiterating Plain

the awful fatigue of leashed wrath--

the devourment of all other emotion.

one of the most frustrating & loneliest 

primacies.

a lion's infrasound shaking the housemates

of organs & bones.

a reiterating plain, onward straight to onward--

a massive drain at its center.

stymied blood let out, down it--a red waterfall

transfusing the earth's gut.

Ah this is stellar Onoma - such gorgeous use of figurative language, really stunning imagery and a really raw, and guttural theme. I'm into it, 100%, and will keep an eye out as you post.

Nice work : )

I really appreciate your support Ookpik, this poem came from a raw place. Thanks...

I imagine it takes a toll, writing like this; it has us digging around a bit under the ribcage. That said, I've the digging can bring about a sense of release, which is at least somewhat of a silver-lining. : )

I read often, but comment rarely - expect I'll continue to drop in as you go.

Again, kudos !

Well said Ookpik--you get inadvertently pulled into a zone based on the unique demands of every poem. I Thank You for your careful reading~
