Whether nectar sings or walks within wings,
or splits her spine with spice
and splices the night with bullets
until dawn oozes out
the feathered purveyor;
of fickle and fish fin between
a dead man's gum--
His bride was gilled at the lips
and buried his bones to rest
with a crucifix etched into his skull
like the layers of lime and orange
you'd taste at twilight first;
Or the feeling of soil between
marrow and blood when a wind
trips over a winding well,
will the nectar rather roll itself into stone,
or unravel a ribbon into water--
and float on to the west by morning
and drown herself from spine to tooth in poetry.

   Haha. Thank you.
-- It's kinda like being shot out of a cannon in slow motion.  I must admit, I'm always a sucker for this type of imagery.
 -- I'm like a noisy puppy  Who breaks the thread, the one who pulls, the one who holds on? -James Richardson Oh snap! -Dr. Gregory House Thank you! It means a lot. (:
-- It's kinda like being shot out of a cannon in slow motion.  The imagery is amazing, but the idea is sooo hard to connect. But the poem is soo interesting that it really doesn't matter to me anymore. I just love it!
-- When you look at a person, and you feel like you know them better than themself, then that is only because you know yourself better than they know themselves.  The imagery is astonishing.
Congrats for the DD, as well -- ~You know your art stops being art when you start referring to it as "job". ~Muskrat  I know what this is about. However, if you were to ask me what it's about, I'd be unable to answer. Damn. Ah well. It's beautiful.
 This is so beautifully put together, I adore the imagery...breath-taking work
-- "I'd show a smile, but I'm too weak. I'd share with, you could I only speak, just how much this hurts me...."  I like the way the words flow here. Congrats on your DD!

 reports, 1d 12m agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
