Desire
shreds
language
debrades
meaning
demando-style
entreaties
of delicacies
not on offer here.
Our ziggurat tongues
stepped heavenwards
are cruel and clever
linguistic Esherisms
I have lost
you in my attempt
to encapsulate your essence
on this unfeeling white page
Rat droppings in place of words
runny juissance trickles into dead end crevasses
and pools mute and stagnant in lost lagoons.
Ziggurat tongues…you killed me with that line. Dead.
Likewise.
It takes me back and at the same time it brings me forth.
You had me caught at Babel.
RG, clever use of unusual words.
Warm hugs,
Paul.
