I dust the feathers
From the wilderness
Of your ceaseless ablations.
The scent of hyacinths
Overlapping the scent of frost.
Wax wings coagulating
Inside the brittle pretense
Of a binomial darkness.
I watch your holiness subside
The Blood of Christ
Was never strong enough
To subdue your animal urges.

My pelvis somersaults
Whenever you mention my name.
Ribs, a corset unlaced
For the sake of aviation.
If I fill my lungs with helium
Can I follow you East?
3
The controversy of doves
Leaking prohibitions
Into my guilt matrix
Immobilizes.
I could spend all day
Here with you debating ethics
But there’s more truth in terror,
In the abdication of thought
For the sake of gratification.

‘Ribs a corset unlaced’ now that’s good writing.
Thank you Richard XD
The pleasure was all mine 🙂
“ribs a corset unlaced” love that line!
Thank you so much Elle!
A visceral, sharp-edged brilliant piece
Thank you =)
This is just fabulous!
Awww thank you!
You’re very welcome :))
The power of the Blood of Christ is often rather overestimated, that’s for sure. I love this, Yves.
Thank you Tony XD
Yeah, I like this one a lot. Second stanza is especially powerful.
Thanks so much!
Rock on. Looking forward to the next, though this one will reward re-reading in the meantime.
Thought provoking Yves!
Thank you Jay!
Reblogged this on rennydiokno.com.
Great and moving piece – as I read it – each stanza could hold its own perfectly, and yet the flow in motion – a cycle complimenting and following through.
Powerful images created through your use of words – singularly chosen. 😀
What a tremendous compliment thank you so very much
Love the theater of emotions/motions and ‘The scent of hyacinths’ ~ tasty mixture!
Thank you very much!
