Your blood burns
My throat like razorwine.
Drunk to the coffers
I have nothing left
Worthy of enunciation.
–
A grating silence
Geminates out of control
We have become puppets
To the same inept moon.
–
Stygian and sour
We rape the sky
Of all its accouterments.
Technicolor stars spilling
Between the torsion
Of gnashing teeth.
–
We are not rare amongst men.
We are indigenous to pain
An offense to the powers
That rendered us,
An affront to the madness
We claim, we claim, we claim.

I thought you made an excellent use of the words in fact I thought it followed in the wake of yesterdays prompt…..very well done…
Wow thanks so much Michael XD
“I have nothing left
Worthy of enunciation.”
Man, I have felt this way a zillion times. I get past it and start writing again, worthy or not. I think we can lose sight of our purpose in writing. For me personally, it is not to entertain or impress others; nor is it to express what’s eating at me. Really, it’s just to make myself laugh and to have some fun. Each writer has his/her own personal intentions in writing, but when I reconnect with mine, that’s when I think it’s “worthy of enunciation.”
I LOVE the way you misspelled “accoutrements.” You pretty much stuck the word “cooter” in the middle of it. 🙂 And it doesn’t make me think of turtles, I’ll tell you that!
My other favorites are the last stanza (great sound) and the line “We rape the sky.”
Well that is as good a reason as ever I heard =) I suffer from emotional constipation when I don’t write I become even more unstable and disconnected than usual. For a while I thought writing might be removing me too much from reality but actually the reverse has proven true. Did I misspell it spellcheck is not informing me.
We have become puppets to the same inept moon.
What are we acting? Is it all just some play, and can we break out
of the script and forge a different way?
I wonder X, I wonder
This is a-ma-zing!
Thanks so much!
I wouldn’t worry about spell check…European and English spellings do differ slightly and since I got the drift…
I can place many a mortal in the role you have envisioned.
But I also think many of the Greater and Lesser Gods can fit the description that you have given.
Thanks for a great list of words.
I use either I don’t even realize most of the time which version I am using lol Thanks so much and as always my pleasure!
