FairyBones~

The moon made me do it!

at risk

I lie well, don't I?

hereby

negating me

microchip in me

recline here in a tangle of strips

of my own taut skin

printing myself a new story

taking blood coup inventory

the Ink does not tell fables!

memory enabled

it reshapes the stories

from devastation into glory

I am a master at taking the ugly

while the monster looks on smugly

working the beautiful

from the distasteful

birthing syntax magic

from the body tragic

do I make it . . .

acceptable??!!

making others

susceptible??!!

and that last

on my knees

mind split in three

fists in the hollow plains

beneath my ribs

my belly in recall

the ivory crib

rocking

shocking

no one walks here!

one did

did she overhear?

was that her blood story

buried in dirt allegory?

push the platter off the table

mad girl hatter

terrified of getting fat and fatter

tip the top hat

tipsy

dizzy

clawed fingers

trace rivulets

at the center of soul, a curved stinger

they forget

me not!

my stain your spot!

shattered cheeks

cheeky

they say, you're so exotic

freaky

they task me

they ask me

does that hurt, Seleneieeeee baybee?

I pounce

too late now to just renounce

tear your mind out

shout out

does that hurt??!!

oh, suddenly I disconcert?

they should have named me Agony

having mixed my alchemy

them knowing my  genetic fate

I was bait

but Selene

ahh now that is more fanciful

to masticate the golden rule

the moon made them do it!

let's chew it

over

they lied well

banquets at the gates of hell

I believed every drop

crucified on top

but my body knew better

in bones, it wrote it's letters

decades milling me

gilding me

chilling me

into nothing

 

but fairy bones . . . .

This is a poem that "sounds." As a reader, you're drawn into the sounds as much as the words, which is quite an accomplishment. Are you a musician? Like others, I thought that the piece was extremely well crafted and you also utilized vivid imagination with such lines as "Seleneieeeee baby." and "tip the top hat," which really drew me in as a personal voyeur. Liked this very much.

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

Fantastic poem my friend.

[Pearls Of Wisdom...Youn..]

Wow this is an exceptional piece..love the concept of the fairybone it's really innovative! The moons made me do it??? what a big lie!!!

[Jūdan FyreHeart]

This is brilliant - as always :-P
The short lines with that bouncy beat adds another layer to it. I love it, very clever, sharp with some fun about it all.

LOL why is there nothing you can't do??? fairy bones.. indeed...Seleneieeeee baybee

On a more mature note..this is tight..witty and clever...I hate you!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

This would be fun to see performed live... truly introspective piece... it really seems the abstract images bring about that age old question, genetics vs environment. I know I was compelled the whole way through.

[Seshat Nidaba]

More modern and neurotic than I had anticipated, a rollercoaster like a hip-hop song!

You dip your white Raven quill into the inkwell of your soul, drawing out the essence of each experience in bold illuminating script for all to see xo you amaze, my lightning hearted friend
