You spread like wine
Over a silk dress, a
Copper-mouthed
Carnivore spinning
Contradictions into a
Hypothetical prime
=
I’ve got a head full
Of heathen posies,
And a lavender soul
Spilling forward like
A thirsting wisteria
We’re all swaying to
The refrain of your
Avaricious pulse
=
Cotton-mouthed with
Misplaced expectations
I watch you slip dimensionless
Into patina, ambidextrous
Heart pocketing the sunrise
And sunset in the same
Thieving swoop
Submission for
mindlovemisery 
Great depth to this. Excellent write.
Thank you so much Anthony =)
a head full of heathen posies and a lavender soul….ha…love those lines…nice snake allusions in this as well between the copper head and cotton mouth….
Thank you Brian you never miss anything I love that =)
Nice imagery..I really enjoyed the opening stanza..
Thank you so much =)
You are like the US marine Corps, MLM , you never leave any of tour own behind….the dark and the light dance beautifully balanced in you……
Oh wow thank you so much =)
Such a sinister feel to this one … and you with your heathen posies and lavender soul caught in that weaving stare of the snake … fly!
Thank you so much Susan =) Good thing its fictional!
This is so cool. The mid stanza is such a marvelous set of images that just flow so well that I found myself reading it over and again just for the enjoyment. .
Thank you very much Scott =)
“I’ve got a head full
Of heathen posies,
And a lavender soul”
Ah, that’s gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
The opening line made me wary of the “Copper-mouthed
Carnivore”. wine on a silk dress can only spell trouble!
Thank you Robyn =) Indeed sinister happening are afoot

Holy cow. I LOVE this. Especially:

Heart pocketing the sunrise
And sunset in the same
Thieving swoop”
