By Six-Out






frag.ment. ed
list[loss]t in a gentle succumb-tion
take this- and breath the. ink. from pen/scrapes
like _land.mines

[crushing]


..


words like a hand.grenade.
I blink. desire. //taste persuasion. and it's all so delicate
like heart.lockets. tucked into shirt/pockets.
the duality of dissension. it's magnificent. taste lead
and kiss my temples. _plastic.promises
just call me. calamity.


I'm a broken [six]shooter
with a torn holster. collapsing blanks within blinks
and ripping _plaster formed breakdowns.



so sing in hollow points.
and this voice.

it [echoes]

    it does. and resonates. like cracked mirror images of nights you remember as vivid but seem more and more unreal as time passes, this poem reflects and pieces together those fragments in a way

    that moves you in a calm but shattering way, this is one of those poems that reaafirms you as a poet, that you can read back to yourself if ever you lack inspiration and realise its always within and not around you.
