throat bared honey
and honeybee,
Stand and face me,
as someone sweeter
than you are.
Farm girl dolled up,
pretending not to know
how to pull those rags down.
//
I couldn't hope to hold you
with both arms and still
tear at your clothes.

bflagsstalmost 15 years agoAuthorI used a caesura, yes inappropriately, cuz I wanted a pause and recognition that the beat is different for the last few lines. I hope the reader can find the rhythm in the first part. This is adapted from sappho fragments like my last few poems. I'm interested in the surreal again.
vrosej10almost 15 years agoI didn't quite get despite three readings but I liked it and I don't always have to "get" a poem to enjoy it.
Epmd607almost 15 years agoGold. It would work better in Schubert though. It took it minute to figure out it didn't mean Ergo. rock n roll.
