I'll Pull You Out

Put 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...

The ending ties it together!

When you've reached the bottom of the well, the only place to go is up. I felt desperation and helplessness here. Some great poetic expression which conveys deepbemition to your readers. Keep writing. Well done.

Dear Karli. This is poetry. You allowed the reader to feel your emotions and you took them to places of decisions, of heavy thoughts. Thank you for sharing the powerful and worthwhile poetry.
