A dark mood
as if lightning's
jolted down my skin—
a seething bomb
within,
set to detonate

the awning
holding up my grin,
slipping

& a stone stamped
over my heart,
hiding the human
in me—
this rage
is pure beast...

or maybe not

perhaps I'm
just sad—
& wearing
the armour
of anger.

It's such a horrible feeling,
The guilt of happiness.
It shouldn't exist!

Overwhelmed, I slip
deeper into my own skin
smile feels blasphemy

The far side of the moon --
I wonder what it looks like
as I feel whiskered lips on my neck
Whisky breath moistly whispers
"Trust the warmth you can't yet feel"
But I feel fingers peel away layers
of my clothes
as if they had an appointment
with piquant bogland

The far side of the moon --
Are there boglands? I wonder
as garments are scattered
haphazardly over the floor
the whiskered whisky breath 
now whispering to my breast
how it adores such innocence
as it moves down towards my
frostline -- chills move up my spine

The far side of the moon --
I'd rather be there, now, than here
in this nightmarish somnolence
where gentle gesture is flipping
the bird on me
and whiskered whisky breath
is spellbound by the fact
I neither gave assent nor consent
to its explorations

Afterwards, I feel like garbage
But it's not me, it's he
who is the POS

I was about to tell you off for calling yourself thick... but then read the rest of the poem and saw what you actually meant.
I hope rest finds you soon!

Sudden heated breeze,
Warmth before its season's time - Dog breath on my neck

But tasty!
I am now craving pork scratchings....

Crunchy and crisp
Fried deliciousness
Then the bristles
On my tongue and lips
A reminder that this
Pork rind tidbit
Once was and still is
Pig skin, fried crisp

🤢🤮
Sorry.
I.
I can't
Eating something a fly has touched, even the idea makes me sick.
You have put me off my coffee.

Remnants from the
Night before, crumbs
On the floor, the door
To the fridge sticks
Worse than it did as
I search for the pudding
Left out now a #skin
Begins to form as the
Flies pounce on the
Top, bounce and then
Stop and look for more
Remnants together
We eat off the floor

What an absolutely incredible piece!!
This is like... the perfect display of why I love your poetry so much,
A seamless weave of metaphor and reality, so easy to see what it is you mean but stil intricate, and beautiful.
You show the work, the skill you put in, but make it look easy!

I found a place of shadows
Vines and brambles and dog rose
Embracing old bricks
A chimney breast home now
To mouse and bird and flower
Sun-shaft promises rain
Young play near the hearth
Memories whisper through the leaves
When I visit

Your bricks for benches
And homes be used.

Great way to end it, switching the demon's hits into strength!

I wrote a haiku chain because it's fitting.
Each haiku being one "brick" thrown.
A harsher Setsubun.

Forest looms above,
Green, a memory among
Trees of towering brick.

Two fantastic offerings,
Polar opposites, one joy, one pain,but both the same in brilliance!
