I'll Pull You OutA Poem by KarliPut a name to what you're feeling.
What was the word again? My vocabulary is scribbled through this stack of wet newspapers. Feverish flipping, riffling through pages. Disintegrating between my finger tips. Sitting on the street corner in the rain, strangers leaving pennies to my name. Swallowing pebbles like pills, rock candy in my stomach. Heavy, weighted, beanie baby belly. How do I make space for this? Dusting the cobwebbed corners of this temple I do not find the altar worthy to hold the memory. I have to live this way forever? This is how we move on from here? Never to be whole again. Tears turn to snow turn to leaves. Tiny treetops are little glass spindles into my spine, leaving cracks in my resolve. Surrounded by puppets and brick well walls. Deeper down I'm descending. Pitifully I whimper. Please help me... © 2022 KarliFeatured Review
