Click hereI am light penetrating diamonds
a vine blooming penises, vaginas
a Tiffany glass partition fighting fires
a dark forest sheltering unthinkable things.
I am that makes your fingers sticky.

Anonymousabout 13 years agoWhen I hear the rose scream
I gather all the failure experiments of an anatomical empire
and, with some chemical dream, discover
the hateful law of the earth and sun, and the screaming
rose between.
PoetGuyabout 13 years agoHe was also looking for a Whitman reference, but since he does not know Whitman well, there could be one here and he simply has missed it. There are some interesting, rather bizarre, images ("a vine blooming penises, vaginas"), but it isn't clear what the poem is supposed to add up to--at least not clear to Poet Guy, but he is well-known to be dense.
He will say that he liked the last line as is; it seems more mythical (goddess-like?) phrased that way.
bulltlrabout 13 years agoThe fourth line is perfect and without it the rest would make no matter! Just my opinion!
Kobaabout 13 years agoI read this this morning and passed over it because I didn't see the point of it. I just read it again and I appreciated it much more this time. The imagery is very good. I keep looking for a Walt Whitman connection but I don't see one so maybe I shouldn't be looking there anyway. The dark forest line was fantastic! I may change a word or two and steal it for myself! Good poem!
GuiltyPleasureabout 13 years ago...even notice the typo such was the ride this poem took me on. Lovely! I particularly like the Tiffany glass partition fighting fires - good choice of words.
