I am dripping MAG
November 12, 2008
I am dripping
– with blood
– with tears
they are churned
and brewed deep
within me
I don’t tend to
the kettles –
I simply don’t
care enough to
bugs, insects, crawl inside
strike matches on their
crisp skeletons and
light the fire
bright dew drops begin the concoction
skin scales, leaves, grass
they boil down to a thick,
steaming liquid
it burns to be alive.
I secrete involuntary lies
they wait behind the skin,
begging to be released;
to roll down in sweet, hot beads while
the dogs are sitting to lap them up.

Usually when i read someone elses work i tend to get a little jealous because, lets face it im not that good of a writer. Your poetry it made me wish i had such great talent as you do. keep a hold of it, because it might slip away from you one day. Great great poem.
