So beautiful

******************

You fit my palm so well.

So beautiful...

 

So beautiful.

 

Hard and slender,

I raise you

to my mouth,

which is open -

expectant.

 

As I do so,

my mind goes blank,

lost in the moment.

I wait...

 

...

 

'Are you there? Hello?'

the voice begs.

 

'What? Oh, sorry.

Lost my train of thought there.

What? Yes, Thursday is fine.

Ten thirty? Great.

See you then.'

 

Another mobile moment passes.

The apostrophe is my enemy

*************************

The apostrophe is my enemy.

I shall not rest.

It makes me lie down and

take criticism.

It leads me beside

tempestuous streams of wordage,

it destroys my soul.

Even though I stagger

through the valley of the shadow of poetry,

I will be terribly afraid of nasty words,

for it is ever with me;

the rod and staff,

they beat the hell out of me,

rapping me severely across the knuckles

when I stuff it up again and again.

 

Screams of Poetic Pain, Chpt 23, verses 1 - 4
