Literature Text

The chthonic papyrus of your lips,
stretched into a shape that brought
angles and an end to ouroboros.

The murmuring you made
was a harvest incarnate,
a malign cutting
to feed the livestock.

I held what you yielded as sacred, because I had to,
because the alternative, it seemed,
was subsistence on air and vitriol alone.

It wasn't until later that I realized,
air and vitriol were all you ever offered
In the first place.
It's been AGES...I've been nute working an just generally doing thing in that real worl thing...I know I've said this before, I do intend to start posting freequently again...hell, I doubt many here remember me so I'll have to work to build up some more people to interact with. For you oldies who DO remember me, hope this all is well, and hope this seems in line with my style :) I'll be doing a journal soon, unfortunately must rush to work for the night...hope all of you are good...enjoy

I like your poetry as much as ever, although now it seems to make less sense to me. That might be attributed to the fact that I've changed recently and so I think a little differently and interpret things differently.
