a tattoo of your name, somewhere

By Alanarchy

When you have to title it,
You split  it,
like a pittance.
a carved out
cholera
stone.


Rend. Skin in needlepoint
ink prose, ring-third finger grown


Band of gold


Divide.ous

and when you see it
in the zphyr
you break it down to the barest form

i wanted you in cypher.

alpha, beta, charlie,
smoke

signals on the sun;


a tattoo of your name
like a slit
in my arm, puzzles

of nothing

means....

   




...woozy?

    You challenged my fragmented mind to dig a little deeper in thought. ...reading this was like free-falling but landing safely on your feet all at once. I guess what I'm trying to say is... mindfully brilliant piece, that leaves an imprint on those who catch the meaning/purpose. *being fulfilled in simplest form* Bows- Scholar

  • A former member wrote: I liked it very much! i was there , spur of the moment with long term sneaking in , Oh what to do.

  • A former member wrote: I really like this! The way the words flow. Its very stream of consciousness. Much like mine.
