Satiate

A large lump finally loosens

in the darkness of mucus 

as we all gather round,

The voices turn to horses 

on the bottom of beaches

so look close, see them drown,

They fill with salt and brine

then quickly rewind their minds

to axe the question in twine 

 

"Am I pretty?"

"No, you're old shoes in a new place."

 

No shame in the piss stained future

where the halls all hard enamel 

and the floors all laid in shambles

is where I see myself, in sutures

 

Filled to the brim with brimstone.

Can't maintain low tones

so I speak with a volume laid prone

until I fountain this feeling into you

and kill your imagery with roses

 

Are you full?

From Whence

comes such imagery? It is where the mind goes and interprets and "fountains" but more, there is an artist view of an aspect, a profile, a shadow. Well said! - slc
