Description
effluvium screamingas she wrenches her ribs free from the
shrieking vultures and the
nightingales' brittle bones;
the dowagers drop,
laying themselves upon
bandages
formed by discrete empty particles
and their discrete empty words.
oh, how charming, she fancies herself a poet

this makes me think of daws, im not sure why...i guess shrieking vultures reminds me of shakespeare for some reason haha
but besides that, this is quite lovely. i love your diction: wrenches, brittle, discrete, particles, charming, fancies.

I get two different images, one from the poet's point of view, one from the patronizing parties dismissing the poet.
Both resonate.

You get the images that I wanted you to get, then.
Now imagine that both parties are me.
Confused yet?

Most poems are about all of us.

Nope, you haven't seen inside my jerry-rigged soul. I have been wiring, rewiring and compartmentalizing for a long time. I find you one of the most resonant people I have ever encountered here. You get it.

No flattery meant, I just like to encourage (en couer rage) genius when I see it budding.
