Words spill out from depths of my soul
Draping their sustained endings
Across tips of my limbs
Stopping for emotional pauses
Amongst flaps of skin
In flexed and crooked joints
Allowing me to contemplate
Longevity and meaning
Of letters I sling together
Tag: sling
Don’t You Dare (day 538)
Stone me in a cobblestone square or
Sling me up amongst the berries and the winds
But don’t dare
In all my days
Pull from these wretched hands
Bloody and gnarled
The blessing of thought
Loud and true
That lead me to and fro
Now till ‘morrow
In unceasing desire
No, don’t you dare
