toilet paper

military saints promptly imprisoned1

in my eye’s line of duty 2

play with emotion’s atypical acne3

with stinking            (((mayday calls4

but guess roses don’t have cell phones5

when ring tones get redundant6

and the shower of your elliptic hot-&-freezing phrases7

is weak like 8

someone dropping by the ceremony you were supposed to attend9

poetry wipes10

the retina11

the freshly unheard12

the fall’s lower lip13

yet not its saliva14

not the pre-historical unaccepted15

with a scrap of Adler’s apparent tear16

and noisy sonatas of a crazy Thanatos17

i could possibly keep rain here18

next to my19

sensual sanctuary20

that is21

never to be touched22

build rusty brick walls23

for dirty food stores24

bring me no clothes25

no umbrella26

no tissue27

in fact i learned quite quickly islands are really nonexistent 28

stripped                              making love to the fabled29

and disgusting orgasms lost to the )apparently( blind30

i can’t leave doors open for you31

because, you see, i forgot my keys32

stuck to average ~e~iq’s33

and prominent issues34

forgive me for making poverty green35

with your name36

and yes change is the mountain37

whose top38

has cracks here and there39

--cavities restored in its oaks’ teeth—
40

                       blonde angels await their prey41

i throw it with remarkable gestures42

out of un-routine43

clean |in our schizophrenia| where we shouldn’t be44

my dear doc, come the hell here45

to say i’m unable to breathe like one ought to46

time to go, folks,                               the cemetery is empty with thorns
47

i’m throwing it48

like todays49

like heres50

like myself.

    good poem, thanks for my comments and the corrections on 'the curse of the first born'

  • This is so ironic, considering your picture prompt was a girl wrapped around in toilet paper -- if i do remember correct.

    This is different from what I've seen of yours. But it was a nice read.

    Thank you, Alicia. Indeed, I was feeling down when I wrote it. It's just too personal so I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific.

    Wow. Very deep. It kind of left me feeling like "Whoa... what's this mean", but then again, it left me feeling kind of down. Very deep and beautifully written. Thanks for entering my contest!
