scar.ecrow

perfection of smile
does not slight
the sideways thought... .

nothing you always make me think nothing

and so
i stuff the truth back
to form your bones
and until then

blanked stares and holed
cores and grinned
nothing. .. .. .

is still all you give is still

you certainly do have a way with words! i echo what everyone else has said to this piece. articulate and succinct yet poetically probing, i was mesmerised from that very first stanza.

I had to read this several times over before I could even form coherent thoughts... "I stuff the truth back to form your bones" resonated strongly but it was the first and last lines that really set this piece apart for me.

"...to form your bones" Makes my heart feel like a crow bleeding. I like the texture, the format. Well done.

This captured me; I have read and reread and I love it...its endlessness, its format, its emotion' it's amazing and it's reminding me of T.S. Eliot and that really does not happen very often at all. *click*

..in reading this, I think I must have swallowed my heart. ..because somehow, it's in my throat.. I don't have words. ..just understanding..

..and it's pulsing something awful..I pray it might take wing and plunge down to my chest. But 'til I can gather thought..and wear my heart..I know. I just know. ~ Kristie
