senses,
I remember the reap and feasts
of old,
I remember you.
There is a line of crimson-curled posey
working deep inside
and it’s biting at my ribs
to be let out–
(this is Awen–when muse strikes and you are helpless before it.)
I’m trying,
oh I’m trying to live.
I’m trying to be real.
that’s what,
Shut Up.
It’s not like anything else I know.

“There is a line of crimson-curled posey working deep inside…”
I had the same problem the other night after that Findus lasagne.
