Inside the poster

When we define striated musculature,
the way all the waves of cord
wrap around the fettered bone,
a konami braid twisted
into compact ropes of locomotion,
we can compare to bone-
a sharp spiral tower,
ivory blush rising strong
in a skeletal framework
of gravity defying erection.
When we carress caloused palm,
ridge of rise of fleshy pad,
the way the cushion is a spring
a bouyant trampoline depressed,
realeased, and bouncing back,
we can contrast to nail-
a shell deposit, a timid lingering
of oceanic uncertainty, a hardness
where other things are soft.
They can slice the palm,
cut open the delicate sunshine
of a blister to reveal
the brighter soreness of such
an internal cavern; go deeper, go in,
peel away the skin
like the fur of a ripe fruit
dripping and glistening little licks
of gelatinous peach juice.

 

Wow. Amazing. What I wouldn't have given to have been in your head when you were coming up with this one! Nicely done.


One small edit: where it says "gravity defying erection", I'd write it like this, with a dash, "gravity-defying erection".

 

Thanks for the input. I suppose that would help make the meaning clearer.

 

Great wordplay, no cliche's, fantastic images, and an interesting concept. I'm really loving your style, and look forward to reading some more!

 

I'm going to write this one in my journal, that's talent
