you're
absent: cruelty vanishing
hole in the shape of a person
and
nascent: credulity sadly
flickering as your infections worsen
and lingual double-dipping
your best inflections
crimson dripping
call me when your shadow
casts a body
so okay: then
hasta la bye-bye
wish you'd ever known
me.
Now that's Bloomesque. Actually, it's not even Bloomesque. It's something quite unexpected. The sheer, untamed emotion let loose to procreate with verbal element. Makes you shudder. Strong stuff. Cruel stuff.
ReplyDeletein a technical sense, i like how the last part seems like it ought to say "never known/me", only it doesn't.
