stuttering gun fight.

By sIo

copy me just c.c.copy me
i want to stutter something stout
because it's so truth
be told like i forgot to
move my pyramids
sweet tearamids of salt

i fell forgotten filtered thick
and wandered roads
dividing choice by fault
of error in three point turns
like air was dust and fog
the drift

vengeful tyrant i did pray
upon no bench down on my knees
nor with my hand, my lip, or thigh
as such a battle never falters
for soothe when victory is ny

i shutter. fuckking
shuddder. a hellhound crescent
hallowing ball. dancing
just to taunt, the tease
like this chase made breath
of me i fukking udder what
might come

they know not i strut
the death of me like hip popping
ebony and wood shucking cherry trees
i've the memory of the earth
and the courage of  tuskless elephantry

sir i dare only dream that you know
who you have torn to feathers
phoenix phoney phaux fuck
and fall

challenge me. p.p.prove me
wrong rung out and writhe
raw. whisk me away. i swear
i'll stay.

no ring me awry i swear
this test was never meant for me
and shove all your answers
keys  passwords and rules
up all your gates keepers highbeams
and poles

encrusted  envelopment
benign imaginations
j.j.j.ust let  go  of my hand
i've gotten the trigger finger happy
and here on out
i got it covered.

    builds slowly to a several striking crescendos & in the end sealed up succinctly - nice piece...

  • A former member wrote: The stuttering aspect of this pieces lends a very vulnerable/ emotionally strained voice to it. Absorbing work, though you don't falter, poetically, often. Excellent composition. +tpu+
