~write me off Dr. A
deny your own cravings for petals
pulled from the flower of death
rose hips snapdragon lips
chromoplasts ground down
carotenenes flavones
bleeding anthocyanin~
Those first 3 lines are powerful enough...the list afterwards just made me sit and shake my head...as I always do after reading your work.
The whole poem is both funny and dark and I like it very much.
Speechless after that lol.
Loved these lines
write me off Dr. A
deny your own cravings for petals
pulled from the flower of death
Those lines grabbed me
and would not let me go!
Great Stuff.

Very creative and mind twisting work. I like one that makes me stop, ponder and need to read more.. you do just that here..
good work
du lac~
This is kinda creepy, chloroplasts, ground down, just evil, and genius, I say!! truly love this side of you xoxox
"we do share transparent skin" reminded me of Dali, his quote
"When I was five years old I saw an insect that had been eaten by ants and of which nothing remained except the shell. Through the holes in its anatomy one could see the sky. Every time I wish to attain purity I look at the sky through flesh."
I don't know why I thought of it
I don't know what else to say
Wow! I don't know what to say!! Think, think...
I saw someone wrote "creepy". I'm not quite sure if that's the word I would use. It's different, kind of wild. Of course, not in a bad way!
Raw, damn it, that's it!! I read this three times, and there isn't one thing I didn't like about it. The ending couldn't have been any better. VERY good poetry.
...a medical monthly somewhere waiting for this. Great read, anna!

the piece of work. the prescription you have concocted is now sitting under my tongue to absorb.......don
I needed a refill. ;) like I always do with Anna's work. Yes, I said creepy, but I thnk anna knows I adore her and her work and only said that in the very kindest and most flattering of ways. If not, then I apologize from the depths of my heart and ask sincere forgiveness.
Damn!! I miss still life with street light... love you woman, xoxox

I'm late but I got here eventually. I would have turned up in the early hours of the morning for this poem. It makes the brain work but the brain gets its reward.
Great poem AS
