Hope, I Am Not Less

than this... I swear to you this, I will never be more.

i do not make lists of demands

frivolously

my corporeal demands

made often only with my body

as i search every f*****g inch of these lands

incongruently

(it hurts)

I get f*****g lost, and what not.

matching the unlike with discipline

trying to make the beautiful

in between profane breaths

of meter of rhyme, in regard to sentence and structure

the dirty business of living

(focus)

this is poetry, this is breathing

as the great ape spawn

the dirty articulating animals

demanding delicious

(viscous)

lick your fingers

(we are wet)

for more

(lust)

drippings.....

(impregnation)

for of all the things 

i take to make my castles

it is my structure that rises from my own rules

and if only I am to own this

these ashes ... learned while breathing

destruction

among my fleshy relatives

now in wooden boxes

i will remember

(and miss them dearly)

it's a dirty business this living

(the taking)

focus!

it is everything

now breath

and realize

i am hopeless

i cannot save me

for each of us

it all looks pretty s****y

　when your emotions are leathered

I think this is pretty stunning D, and powerful. I like how you've expressed the core message and would tend to agree with you. I felt this way recently like the suffering was greater than the non suffering. Some how it was the only way forward which was a s****y thing but the outcome was worth it in the end. I like the measured profanity it's so right here and fits the mood. We are not less! R xo

Thanks. You have lovely hair.

[aLittlePain]

Lol, thank you. I suspect yours might be nicer

Oh it's spectacular but, it's also falling out. In a few years I'll look like Krusty the Clown and attract only the most unsavory types of women.

[aLittlePain]

No they don't ever lie

I like that rapid thoughts and attempts to focus... The words were as strong and scattered as a mind would have them, yet focused. You played this well.

Thanks Powers. I like your face.
