Description
morse code upon collarbones andsun-bleached smiles. she
wasn't ready. she wasn't ready.
he had open arms like
the song about the london bridge;
chlorine baptized him a new
man. innocent, innocent,
what did you see
when you kissed her? the
pearls upon the waves, the
silence upon the shore. was it
quiet enough to hear
the break? thunderous blue, the
chasms of her eyes.
I was
there. never
present, in the body
that doesn't fit, I watched
you murder the sky. I wasn't ready
I wasn't ready; I swallowed a dream and
vomited blood and somehow
I can't clean myself out.
I can't brush the taste of me
from my own mouth.
I've become the constellations
wrapped gently around my
legs.
it comes to this.
she asks why are
your hands shaking?
I say it's a seasonal
affliction

each of your writings contain the emotional equivalent of watching all the most beautiful indie/transgressive and classic romantic movies in one go.
it's like eternal sunshine meets a walk to remember and i'm dying here from all the feels, sweetheart, i really am.
but then, i guess there wouldn't be a lovelier way to pass, yes?

the most interesting thing to me about this poem was the "house divided" sketch you've created with your line placement and how that tied in so well with the poem. Maybe thats not what you were going for, but it's what I saw. as far as the content, it was superb as always. Wonderfully done.

Oh, Maddie.
You always manage to hit me square in the heart with your anvil-words. And I mean that in the best way possible. I'm not sure anyone's poetry on here so consistently rends emotion from a reader like yours does. You are like a soul-wick, drawing yearning and beauty out of everything you touch.

Wow. That was...I'm not sure what that was, but there are a lot of levels to this. The disjunct images work to create a sensation of both confusion and longing.
