Description
here, at the bottom - lovers.
there are lovers disassembling
themselves
      lost in and to the desperate ryhtmn in of - waves.
- did you think the continents
moved themselves? see them slip,

in an open sleep. less go, come.
come and, and - again. trembling


here, at the bottom - their eyes
are lightless. hollow bodies left
restless,

          the sea does not sleep.

Goodness, this is gorgeous. Especially this:

in an open sleep.

Just, wow. Definitely deserving of the DD, congrats!

Gorgeous. I especially like: "in an open sleep. less go, come. / come and, and - again. trembling" The beat is fantastic, and I love your phrasing. <3

your comment made my night. im happy you're satisfied with beat and diction - i thought it was simple, maybe too simple. but it seems to work!

Aw. :3 Thanks.

Glad to hear! Your piece deserves stuff like that. It's simple, but that gives it a stark, pounding quality. Sort of like the ocean. It works perfectly.

Gorgeous inside and out. It flows like the tide, and like loves slowly drifting together only to be taken away from each other again. I also loved how subtle the sexual undertones were-- really striking. This is one of my favorite lit DD's I've seen in a very long time. Congrats!

your comment sums it all up. the loves drifting close and then apart - caught that way. its perpetual really. couldn't get away from it if you tried. im glad my undertones were subtle enough, its more fun that way.

and then your last comment is sprinkles.
i get cupcakes and sprinkles too?! youre
too kind!

Aww you're too sweet! I am happy that I caught the entire meaning, though. I love when that happens. Sprinkles always have to be included.

isthisthingstillon [2013-01-22 21:04:26 +0000 UTC]

i'm just going to go out on a limb and say that this poem could be strengthened by making the syntax more legible. there's one chunk in particular that's striking me as overwritten or possibly just containing a word you didn't mean to put there:

desperate motion in
of - waves.

poetry does play with grammar, sure, but it should also adhere to the constraints of the language enough to form an image beyond "the words are words".

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Is-lnds In reply to isthisthingstillon [2013-01-31 04:21:05 +0000 UTC]

thank you for the suggestion!
it was a strange experimental way of saying

desperate motion in,
(desperate motion) of
- waves.

i have a habit of that with my writing, but whats in my head isn't easily translated to the viewer unless i say so, so i completely understand your thought on that.
