tiny etchings - inked
A generation
of tattoos cliché, crochet, clashes. Melting sizzles dissolving pot
ideals
morass deceit dystopian merge tattoos yet delineate arms legs faces backs skin sopped inky lathers. The ankle is the saddest rebellion identity conformity,
an inconformity, of sheep wooly lambs grain-fed starved for a rose is still a rose is a rose
even when the brush is hairless.

Wonderful work, Debi. :) I especially love: The ankle is the saddest rebellion "The ankle is the saddest rebellion"
ReplyDeleteMy brain added "molasses" to your second sentence, after "morass." ;)
Thanks De. Molasses would have been perfect there. Sorry I didn't think of it.
DeleteGood job, Debi. "The ankle is the saddest" reminds me of someone I know.
ReplyDeleteYou sly thing--you wrote a real poem.
