refusing my prescription
I will not eat poetry
Rimbaud has got nothing on you
(or me)
.....well
we do share transparent skin
and flesh,
corroded
I see right through
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
I remain
at your feet
until you say
don't talk yourself into us
you remember
leaving something on the stove
I hide among steam that
condenses on the glass jars
cardamom, lemon pepper
until under my fingers you believe
my lies
of course
I eat poems
spiceless and raw,
fresh off the street.

Anonymousalmost 19 years agoI'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
Maria2394almost 19 years agoI 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

always_smilingalmost 19 years agoWow! 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.
twelveoonealmost 19 years ago"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
Maria2394almost 19 years agoThis is kinda creepy, chloroplasts, ground down, just evil, and genius, I say!! truly love this side of you xoxox
