wrapped up in words so extravagant 
in power, flaunting an edge so sharp it pierces 
right through the bone and then all 
i have to do is  
wrench  
for it to snap and then a complete 
disarming that gathers its 
uncertainty into an          ugly little dragon. 
yes, you.  
you,  
with a quiet silence tantalizing  
noisy hearts, vocabulary slipping among 
folds of sophisticated intellect and then 
delivered with a gentle 
wrench 
in the gut as its contents proceed in 
disarming so completely and  
powerfully an                  ugly little dragon. 
yes, you. 
a scene full of disj o in te d p le asu re draws onto itself 
the attention everyone else is busy deflecting. 
no.  
the answer is no.  
we shall be honest with our needles and clothing. 
we shall unclench our fists and untwist our fingers. 
oh lovers, oh beloved, oh renewed, 
how now?  
shall we be our ugly little dragons, 
or extend a necessary grace? Labels: my poetry |
