Cradle

Contributed by porcelaincellophane on Friday, 6th April 2007 @ 03:27:34 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



I estivate,
Lungfish-like,
buried in the grains of a black desert.
The sky is a dark matrix,
where one sun speaks
a bumble bee tongue
to a moon that drips
a honey glaze
-across the Universe’s shadows.

I see your galaxies,
they swivel
amongst abandoned high-chairs,
that rock
when disturbed by sea.
They are arrogant
and they hurt,
like a dacryphiliac’s lover
or slave.

These oil rigs
know not of despair,
they have no eyes
and hear no secrets.

What surrounds
-ad nauseam,
the emetic press of appointments
-acidic gut,
like the burn
of ice or flame.

And we do not adhere,
we simply ignore
and continue to relieve
a forgotten-forever.

This hand Rocks the 'Cradle'
This piece leads the ear though a heartburn of mental digestion. Having met those who enjoy the pain and outbursts of others:
"...I see your galaxies,
they swivel
amongst abandoned high-chairs,
that rock
when disturbed by sea.
They are arrogant
and they hurt,
like a dacryphiliac’s lover
or slave. "

I will be chewing on this for a while.

Excellent

I've come back to read this again.. I wish I had more time.. I 'd love to play around with this.. with a little tweaking this could be immence!!!

"And we do not adhere,
we simply ignore
and continue to relieve
a forgotten-forever.".. verses like this dilute the poem in my opinion.. the rest of of is thick with imagery and poetic yu-hummyness...
If I were you i'd use the ending from your other poem'' where flowers don't grow' {something like that}

'-across the Universe’s shadows.' cut this line right out.. there's no need to be so literal..

estivate- I'd change this.. I didn't even know what it meant.. it looks liked you've flicked through a theasuarus for a word... using flashy words only isolates the reader..

thats all I have time for right now.. but I hope you take my advice on this one.. because this poem could be seriously good!!
well done you :}
